552 Chapter 29 EXS24 mkII
Second Order Modulations
The EXS24 also allows the use of second order modulation destinations (such as
envelope times, LFO speeds and so on)—functionally outperforming many analog
synthesizers. To explain:
• The same source can be used as often as desired to control different destinations.
• The same destination can be controlled by different sources. The different input
values are accumulated.
EXS24 mkI Modulation Paths
Many of the hard-wired modulation paths that were available as sliders on the original
EXS24 (mkI) are now part of the Modulation Matrix. In order to reconstitute the
modulation slider configuration of the mkI version, click on the options button in the
upper-right corner and choose (Recall default EXS24 mkI settings) from the pop-up
menu. This will load the mkI modulation paths into the Modulation Matrix, as follows:
• Velocity to Sample Select
• LFO 1 to Pitch via ModWheel (= Ctrl#1)
• Velocity to Sample Start (inv)
• LFO 2 to Filter Cutoff via ModWheel
• Velocity to Filter Cutoff
• Envelope 1 to Filter Cutoff via Velocity
• LFO 2 to Pan via ModWheel
You can, of course, freely alter the settings of these modulation paths. To exchange
modulation sources with sources that were not available in EXS24 mkI, for example (see
the complete list of sources and destinations below).
EXS24 mkI Backward Compatibility
For technical reasons, the settings of the Modulation Matrix can not translate
backwards to the EXS24 mkI. If you are a sound designer and want your products to be
compatible for Logic 4.x users, we recommend the use of Logic version 5.3
(Mac OS X: 5.4) with the EXS24 mkI.
