530 Chapter 29 EXS24 mkII
This will change the folder hierarchy as follows:
• The Project folder contains the song file and the Sampler Instruments folder.
• The Sampler Instruments folder contains all Sampler Instruments that are used in this
song exclusively—vocals, for example.
• A separate folder containing the audio files associated with the respective Sampler
Instrument for each Sampler Instrument used.
To assist you in doing this, the EXS24 Instrument Editor provides the following
functions:
• Instrument > Copy Audiofiles
Copies the audio files of any Sampler Instrument edited in the EXS24 Instrument
Editor to the target directory of your choice. A folder for the audio files associated
with this Sampler Instrument is created in the target location. The Sampler
Instrument file itself is also copied.
• Instrument > Move Audiofiles
Moves the audio files of any Sampler Instrument edited in the EXS24 Instrument
Editor to the target directory of your choice. A folder for the audio files associated
with this Sampler Instrument is created in the target location.
• Functions available as Key Commands
The Backup audiofiles of all USED and ACTIVE instruments of current song key command
copies the audio files of all (active) Sampler Instruments used by the current song to
the target directory of your choice. Folders for the audio files associated with these
Sampler Instruments are created in the target location. All used Sampler Instrument
files are also copied.
• The Move audiofiles of all USED and ACTIVE instruments of current song key command
moves the audio files of all (active) Sampler Instruments used by the current song to
the target directory of your choice. Folders for the audio files associated with these
Sampler Instruments are created in the target location.
Searching for Sampler Instruments
As a further navigational enhancement, the EXS24 features a built-in Find function,
which works in conjunction with the hierarchical menu structure discussed earlier.
In order to minimize the number of Sampler Instruments displayed in the Sampler
Instrument pull-down menu, you can make use of the Find function. This will limit the
Sampler Instrument pull-down menu to only display Sampler Instrument names that
contain the word “piano” or “bass”, as an example. This will also hide any sub-menus
that don’t contain the search word. Simply select Find in the Sampler Instrument pull-
down menu and, in the ensuing dialog box, type in the character string (search term)
to search for.
