Editing Zones and Groups
Zones and groups have a number of parameters which you can edit to customize your
sampler instrument. You edit the pitch, velocity range, panorama, looping parameters,
and other functions of zones. You can also edit group parameters for velocity, output,
and offset envelopes and filters, among other parameters. While some of the editing
techniques, such as editing graphically, selection menu options, clicking on values to
change them, and so on are similar, zones and groups have different parameters, and
will be discussed separately.
General Editing Techniques
The Edit menu handles all basic sampler instrument editing operations, such as
copying zones, undoing edit operations, and so on.
 Undo: Allows the most recent change to the sampler instrument to be undone.
 Redo: Undoes the last Undo command.
 Cut, Copy, Paste: The standard commands for cutting, copying, and pasting values. In
addition to values you may also cut, copy, and paste selected zones and groups.
When you copy groups in the Zones view, the selected groups and their associated
zones are copied. The group assignments of the zones are retained. When you copy
groups in Groups view, only the groups themselves are copied, not the associated
zones.
 Delete: Deletes the currently selected zone or group.
Selecting Zones and Groups
There are a number of ways that you can select zones and groups for editing.
First of all, the Edit menu also contains commands specifically relating to the selection
of EXS24 mkII zones and groups:
 Select All: Selects all zones and groups of the loaded sampler instrument.
