Pitch Parameters
Key allows you to determine the root note of the sample—in other words, the note at
which the sample will sound at its original pitch. The Coarse and Fine fields allow
coarse and fine-tuning of the sample in semitone and cent increments.
Key Range
The two key range parameters allow you to define a key range for the zone.
 Lo(w): Sets the lowest note at which the zone will sound
 Hi(gh): Sets the highest note at which the zone will sound.
Playing notes outside this range will not trigger the sample assigned to this zone.
Velocity Range
Activate the Velocity Range checkbox to define a velocity range for the zone. L(ow) sets
the lowest velocity at which the zone will sound, and Hi(gh) sets the highest velocity at
which the zone will sound. Playing notes outside this range will not trigger the sample
assigned to this zone.
Output Parameters
Volume adjusts the volume of the zone.
Pan adjusts the pan position of the zone. This parameter only works when the
EXS24 mkII is used in stereo.
Negative Scale values make notes lower than the note position defined by the root key
sound louder than higher ones; positive values have the opposite effect. Use this
parameter for balancing the volume of a sample across the selected key range.
