Setting Sampler Preferences
The EXS24 mkII offers a separate Sampler Preferences window, allowing you to
configure various operational and sample related preferences, such as sample rate
conversion quality, velocity responsiveness, sample storage, search-related parameters,
and so on.
To open the Sampler Preferences window, do one of the following:
m Click the Options button in the Parameters window, then choose Preferences in the
pop-up menu.
m Choose Edit > Preferences in the Instrument Editor.
Sample Rate Conversion
Choose the interpolation quality used by the EXS24 mkII. When Sample Rate
Conversion is set to Best, the highest possible sound quality is maintained when
transposing samples.
Sample Storage
Choose the format in which the EXS24 mkII handles the loaded sample data. When set
to Original, the samples are loaded into RAM at their original bit depth, and are
converted to the internal 32 bit floating point format of Logic Express on playback.
When 32 Bit Float is chosen, the samples are stored and loaded in this format. This
eliminates the need for any real time conversion, meaning that the EXS24 mkII can
handle the sample data more efficiently and can play back more voices simultaneously.
It should be noted that this requires twice as much RAM for 16 bit samples, and a third
more RAM for24 bit samples.
Velocity Curve
Determines how responsive the EXS24 mkII is to velocity values received from your
MIDI keyboard. Negative values increase the responsiveness to soft key strikes, and
positive values decrease it.
