second group.

group is enabled—all other groups are disabled.
Set up a round robin in Sampler
The term round robin is used to describe sample switching when a single key is struck
repeatedly. This feature can be particularly useful in live performance or for avoiding
abrupt, machine-gun-like effects when switching between real instrument samples.
In Logic Pro Sampler, you can use a round robin to step through groups, one after the
other. For example, you could layer several hi-hat zones on a single key, each in its own
group. Group 1 could contain an open hi-hat, and Group 8 a closed hi-hat, with Groups 2 to
7 containing different partially closed hi-hat sounds. When you repeatedly strike the key,
Group 1 is played, then Group 2, and so on, in sequence. A further key strike restarts the
cycle from Group 1.
This example uses one method to quickly add multiple groups and zones. You are free to
create these using any method. See Create groups and Create zones.
Tip: You can also use the Group menu Create Round Robin command to create round
robins. To use this command, select multiple groups in the Mapping pane and choose the
command. All selected groups are chained from top to bottom.
