•
Cuto and Reso(nance) elds: Independently oset the Cuto and Resonance settings for each
group. This can be useful if you want the initial impact of a note to be unltered for one group
but not other groups.
•
Envelope 1/Envelope 2 Osets elds: Independently oset the envelope settings in the
Parameter window for each group. This is useful if you want the lter (Envelope 1) or volume
(Envelope 2) envelopes to aect the samples in a group—after the initial impact of the
triggered sounds.
•
H(old) eld: Determines the time that the envelope is held at the maximum attack level, before
the decay phase begins.
Note: When the Trigger parameter is set to Key Release, the Decay Time parameter controls
the decay level, rather than Envelope 2 (the volume envelope). This means that when Trigger is
set to Key Release, the Envelope 2 Osets have no eect.
•
Vel(ocity) Range: Sets a velocity range for the group. Velocity Range is useful for sounds where
you want to dynamically mix—or switch between—samples by playing your MIDI keyboard
harder or softer. This feature is ideal for layered sounds, such as a piano/string layer, or when
switching between dierent percussion samples.
•
Lo: Sets the lowest velocity that triggers the group.
•
Hi: Sets the highest velocity that triggers the group. Playing notes outside this velocity range
will not trigger the zones assigned to this group.
Note: The settings made here override zone settings. When a zone’s velocity range is larger
than the group setting, the zone’s velocity range is limited by the group setting.
Save, rename, and export EXS24 mkII instruments
You can access all basic sampler instrument le operations using the commands in the
Instrument Editor’s Instrument menu.
•
Save: Saves the currently loaded sampler instrument. When you create a new instrument
and save it for the rst time, you are asked to provide a name. If you have edited an existing
sampler instrument and use this command, the existing lename is used and the original
instrument is overwritten. You can also use the Save Instrument key command.
•
Save As: Saves the currently loaded sampler instrument, but you are prompted to provide a
dierent lename. Use this command when you want to save a copy or multiple versions of an
edited sampler instrument, rather than overwriting the original version.
•
Rename: Renames the loaded sampler instrument. The renamed version replaces the original
version on the hard disk.
•
Export Sampler Instrument and Sample Files: Copies the selected sampler instrument, including
all associated audio les, to another folder location. Choosing this command opens a dialog
where you can browse to an existing folder or create a new folder. You can also use the Export
Sampler Instrument and Sample Files key command (default: Control-C).
