Make advanced group selections in Sampler
You can define a specific event to use as a group selection switch. Whenever the defined
selection event is triggered, zones in this group can be played, while other groups selected
with a different event are not played. The defined event does not play or alter a sound; it
acts only as a group selection switch.
Group view provides two options for group selection: Round Robin and Enable by
Control-click the top of any column to open a shortcut menu where you can hide or show
any of the group selection filters.
You can use multiple group selection filters to refine your group selections. For example,
you could specify that only a particular range of specified controller message values
switches between different articulations. This could be further refined with a second
criterion, such as Enable by Channel specified as a group selection filter.
Define a base group and switch between groups with MIDI notes
In Logic Pro Sampler, if you want Sampler to automatically switch between two string
sample groups, for example—one for staccato samples and one for legato samples—you
could set the group selection filter to Enable by Note, and assign a different MIDI note
number to enable each group. You can then use a note that is not assigned to a zone as a
remote group switch.
The following method assumes that several groups exist. See Create Sampler groups.
Note: This method can be applied to any of the Enable by… group selection options. You
are free to combine multiple Enable by… options.
1. In Group view, Control-click the top of any column to open a shortcut menu where you
can hide or show any of the Enable by… filters and other group parameter settings.
2. Choose Show all columns in the shortcut menu.
Note: You can choose to hide or show individual group parameter settings, instead of
Show all columns.
3. Click the OFF button in the Enable by Note On subcolumn.
This is the base, or first, group you want to switch.
4. Drag vertically in the Enable by Note Value field to change the note number of the base
group.
This should be a note that has no assigned zone. When you play this note, this group is
enabled—all other groups are disabled.
5. Click the OFF button in the Enable by Note On subcolumn for the second group you
want to switch.
