312 Chapter 21 EXS24 mkII
If you choose a continuous controller such as the modulation wheel to modulate the
Sample Select destination, you can step through the velocity layers during playback. In
this case, the crossfade (XFade) parameters are very important for creating smooth
transitions between velocity split points.
The Instrument Editor
You can use the Instrument Editor of the EXS24 mkII to create and edit sampler
instruments.
A sampler instrument consists of zones and groups:
 A zone is a location into which a single sample (or audio file, if you prefer this term)
can be loaded from hard disk or CD ROM.
 Zones can be assigned to groups, which offer several parameters for simultaneous
control over all assigned zones. You can define as many groups as desired. You can
edit the group parameters in Group view.
To open the Instrument Editor:
m Click the Edit button in the upper right corner of the EXS24 mkII Parameters window
(or use the Open EXS24 Instrument Editor key command).
The Instrument Editor features two views: Zones view and Groups view. Zones view
displays zones and their parameters, in the parameter area. In Zones view, the area
above the keyboard becomes the Zones area, and displays bars for the created zones.
Groups view shows groups and their parameters. In Groups view, the area above the
keyboard becomes the Groups area, and displays bars for the created groups. The
general items—menus, buttons, and so on—are displayed in both views.
