560 Chapter 29 EXS24 mkII
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/Next Instrument
Previous/Next Instrument and the number fields alongside determine which MIDI event
type (and data value) will be used for selection of the previous or next
Instrument: Note, Poly Pressure, Control, Program, Channel Pressure, Pitch Bend.
In the number field (depending on the event type), either the Note Number or the
value of the first data byte can be entered. When Control 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 EXS. This is important if you want to stay compatible with the
EXS24 mkI, which doesn’t offer this functionality.
Ignore Release Velocity
This option also refers to the Release Trigger 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 songs
Determines whether or not the samples commonly used by two open song files are
reloaded when switching between songs.
