326 Chapter 21 EXS24 mkII
Output Parameters
 Volume: Adjusts the volume of the group, and therefore the volume of all assigned
zones, simultaneously. This works much like a sub-group volume slider on a mixing
console.
 Pan: Adjusts the pan position of the group (stereo balance for stereo samples), and
the pan position of all assigned zones simultaneously.
 Routing: Determines the outputs used by the group. Choices include the main
outputs, and paired channels 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, or individual
outputs 11 through to 16. This allows individual groups to be routed independently
to aux channels in a multi-output EXS24 mkII instance.
Voices Parameters
 Poly. (Polyphony): Determines how many voices the group is allowed to use. A
practical use of this would be to set up a classic hi-hat mode within a full drum kit,
mapped across the keyboard. In this scenario, you could assign both an open and
closed hi-hat sample to a group, and set the Voices parameter of the group to 1. In
this example, the most recently triggered of the two hi-hat samples will mute the
other, as only one voice is allowed for the group. This mirrors the real-world behavior
of hi-hats. When samples in zones are assigned to another group, the other sounds
of the drum kit can still be played polyphonically. The Max option ensures the group
uses the maximum number of voices allowed by the Voice parameter in the
Parameters window.
 Trigger menu: Determines if zones pointing to this group are triggered on key down
(Key Down setting) or on key release (Key Release setting). This is useful for
emulating organ key clicks, for example, in which you may want the organ note
triggered on key down, but the organ click triggered on key release.
 Dc (Decay) checkbox: Activate to access the Decay Time parameter.
 (Decay) Time: Determines how long it will take the volume of a sample triggered by
key release to decay. Keep in mind, the decay parameters will only function when the
Trigger is set to Key Release.
Filter Offsets
Allow you to offset the Cutoff and Resonance settings of the Parameters window
separately for each group. This can be useful if you want the initial impact of a note to
be unfiltered for one group, but not others.
