Chapter 9 EXS24 mkII 213
•
Previous Instrument and Next Instrument: Determine which MIDI event type and data value are
used for selection of the previous or next instrument.
•
Choose the MIDI event type from the Previous Instrument and Next Instrument pop-up
menus. Choices include Note, Poly Pressure, Control Change, Program Change, Channel
Pressure, and Pitch Bend. In the eld next to each pop-up menu, you can enter either the
note number or the value of the rst data byte. If you choose Control Change, the number
eld determines the controller number.
Important: These commands are unique to EXS24 mkII and are separate from the global
Previous/Next Plug-In Setting or EXS Instrument commands. Therefore, you should make
sure that you do not assign the same MIDI event for both. If you do this, both commands will
execute, which may result in unexpected behavior.
•
Giga convert includes release trigger checkbox: Determines whether or not the release trigger
function of the Gigasampler format is performed by EXS24 mkII.
•
Ignore release velocity checkbox: Also refers to the release trigger function of the Gigasampler
format, and it should always be selected for this purpose. Regardless of whether your
keyboard is able to send release velocity, you 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 want the release velocity value
to have the same value as the initial velocity value. To accomplish this, you can switch o
release velocity.
•
Keep common samples in memory when switching projects checkbox: Determines whether the
samples commonly used, or shared, by two open project les are reloaded when you switch
between projects.
