Random
This rotary knob controls the amount of random detuning which will apply to every
played note.
You can use Random (detune) to simulate the tuning drift of analog synthesizers.
This parameter can also be effective in emulating a natural feel for some stringed
instruments.
Fine
This parameter lets you tune the loaded sampler instrument in cent increments. You
can use this to correct for samples that are slightly out of tune, or to create a thick
chorus-like effect.
Pitch Bend Up
This parameter determines the upper limit of pitch bending (in semitones) that can be
introduced by moving the pitch bend wheel to its maximum position using this
parameter. Pitch Bend Up has a range of 0 semitones (the pitch bend wheel in its
maximum position will not increase the pitch at all) to 12 semitones (the pitch bend
wheel in its maximum position will increase the pitch a full octave).
Pitch Bend Down
This determines the lower limit of pitch bending (in semitones) that can be introduced
by moving the pitch bend wheel to its minimum position. Pitch Bend Down has a
range of 0 semitones (the pitch bend wheel in its minimum position will not lower the
pitch at all) to 36 semitones (the pitch bend wheel in its minimum position will lower
the pitch three full octaves). When Linked is selected, the Pitch Bend Up value is used.
Remote
The Remote parameter allows you to easily pitch complete EXS24 mkII instruments in
real time. To do so, set the Remote parameter to the key of your MIDI keyboard that
you would like to use as the original pitch. Once set, all keys in a range of ±1 octave
around this key will now pitch the entire instrument instead of triggering the
instrument. This two octave range is similar to the Pitch Bend function, but is quantized
to semitones.
Please note that the 2 octaves of remote keys will no longer trigger the instrument—
they are used exclusively for semitone tuning.
