Options Button
Clicking the Options button launches a menu that offers the following options:
Recall default EXS24 settings recalls a neutral setting for all parameters in the Plug-in
window.
Recall settings from instrument command manually recalls the original parameter
settings of the loaded Sampler Instrument. This parameter is extremely useful if
you’ve been over zealous with your tweaking.
Save settings to instrument parameter stores the current settings of the Plug-in
window into the Instrument file. When the Instrument is reloaded, these settings are
restored in the Plug-in window.
Delete Settings from instrument removes the stored settings from the Instrument.
Rename instrument allows the renaming of the currently opened Sampler Instrument.
When invoked, a file dialog box will open. This will overwrite the existing Instrument
name.
Save instrument as allows the storage of the currently opened Sampler Instrument
under a different name. When invoked, a file dialog box will open.
Delete instrument will delete the opened Sampler Instrument.

especially the former modulation paths (see “EXS24 mkI Modulation Paths section,
from page 552 onwards).

contained in a Recycle Instrument. If no Recycle Instrument is selected, this option is
not active.

page 535). This menu option accelerates working with AKAI samples, as you do not
need to open the EXS24 Instrument Editor.
