Note: There may be cases where a sound designer has used multiple numbers in a
filename, which is common with loops, with one value being used to indicate tempo—
“loop60-100.wav”, for example. In this situation, it isn’t clear which, if either of the
numbers, indicates a root key or something else: 60 or 100 could indicate the file
number in a collection, tempo, root key, and so on. You can set a value of 8 to read the
root key at position (letter/character) eight of the filename—namely the 100 (E6).
Alternately, setting a value of 5 will select the 60 (C3) as the root key position.
Previous Instrument and Next Instrument
You can use the Previous Instrument and Next Instrument preferences to determine
which MIDI event type (and data value) will be used for selection of the previous or
next instrument.
Choose the desired MIDI event type in the Previous Instrument and Next Instrument
menus. Choices include Note, Poly Pressure, Control Change, Program Change, Channel
Pressure, and Pitch Bend.
In the field next to the menus, you can enter either the note number or the value of
the first data byte. When Control Change is selected, the number field determines the
controller number.
Giga convert includes release trigger
Determines whether or not the release trigger function of the Gigasampler format will
be performed by the EXS24 mkII.
Ignore release velocity
This option also refers to the release trigger function of the Gigasampler function, and
should always be set to on for this purpose. Regardless of whether or not your
keyboard is able to send release velocity, you would want your samples played by the
release trigger function to be louder or softer than the original sample, or at the same
volume, regardless of the initial velocity. When playing with release trigger, you would
want the release velocity value to have the same value as the initial velocity value. To
accomplish this, you can switch off release velocity.
Keep common samples in memory when switching projects
Determines whether or not the samples commonly used by two open project files are
reloaded when switching between projects.
