Chapter 25 EXS24 mkII 435
The Routing parameter determines the outputs used by the zone. Choices include the
main outputs, and paired channels 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, or individual
outputs 11 through to 16. This allows individual zones to be routed independently to
aux channels in a multi-output EXS24 mkII instance.
Playback Parameters
To enable the sample to change pitch when the sample is triggered by different keys,
switch on the Pitch checkbox. When disabled, the sample is always played at its original
pitch, regardless of the note played.
Activating 1Shot causes the zone to ignore the length of notes used to trigger the
sample—the sample is always played to the end. This option is useful for drum
samples, where you often don’t want the MIDI note length to affect sample playback.
Enable the Rvrs (Reverse) checkbox to play the sample from the end to the beginning.
Sample Start and End
The Sample Start and End parameters set the sample’s start and end points,
respectively. Control-clicking the two values will open a shortcut menu, allowing you to
open the sample in the Sample Editor of Logic Pro. In the Sample Editor, you can set
the start and end points graphically. See “Editing Samples in the Sample Editor” below.
Loop Parameters
The EXS24 mkII can loop playback of either all or a portion of an audio sample, when
you trigger a sample to play. In other words, the sample will loop when sustained MIDI
notes are received.
 Loop On checkbox: Activate this checkbox and the rest of the Loop parameters
become available for editing.
 Loop Start, Loop End: You can define discrete loop start and end points in these
fields, allowing you to loop a portion of the audio file. Clicking on the small E button
between the two values will open the audio file the Logic Pro Sample Editor, allowing
you to set the loop start and end points graphically: Loop Start is represented by the
LS marker and Loop End, by the LE marker. “Editing Samples in the Sample Editor”
below.
 Tune: Allows you to change the tuning of the looped portion of the audio file in cent
increments.
