Chapter 21 EXS24 mkII 327
Envelope 1 and Envelope 2 Offsets Parameter
Use these parameters to offset the envelope settings from the Parameters window
separately for each group. This is useful if you want the filter or volume envelopes to
affect the samples in a group after the initial impact of the triggered sounds.
Note: When the Trigger parameter is set to Key Release, the Decay Time parameter
determines the volume decay, not Envelope 2 (the volume envelope). This means that
when Trigger is set to Key Release, the Envelope 2 Offsets have no effect.
The H (Hold) parameter determines the time period that the envelope will be held at
the maximum attack level, before the decay phase begins.
Select Group By
By using the parameters in this column, you can define a specific selection event to
select a group. Whenever the defined selection event is triggered, zones pointing to
this group can be played, and other groups (selected using a different selection event)
are not played. The defined event is not triggered itself, it simply acts as a remote for
selecting the group in question.
This feature works with MIDI events (Notes, Controllers, Bends, MIDI Channel), and
groups, once you define which group number the Select By command will start with.
Once defined, selecting that group means that only zones pointing to that group will
play, and other groups are not played.
For example, if you want the EXS24 mkII to automatically switch between two string
sample groups, one for staccato samples and one for legato samples, you could use the
Select Group By menu selection for MIDI notes, and assign a different MIDI note to
trigger each group. This way, you can use one note that you are not playing to select
between the two groups, and automatically switch groups from the keyboard as you
are playing. Also see “Remapping of Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheel Events” below
for another example of how this feature can be used to automatically switch between
groups.
Click the plus icon in the upper right corner of the Select Group By column to refine
the group selection conditions. Click the minus icon to remove a Select Group By
condition, and broaden the group selection criteria.
