Chapter 25 EXS24 mkII 437
The Instrument Editor does not offer a graphic representation of a sample’s waveform.
Because of this, the only way to set the start and end points or loop points of a sample
within the Instrument Editor is numerically. Thankfully Control-clicking the loop start
and end point parameters will open a shortcut menu, allowing you to open the
selected sample in the Logic Pro Sample Editor (or the external sample editor set in the
preferences). This allows you to edit the sample borders and loop points graphically.
You can then simply save the sample, and the new values will be written to the audio
file header, and used properly by the EXS24 mkII.
Once you save and reopen a sample that you have edited in either the Logic Pro
Sample Editor, or a third party sample editor, it is likely that either the start and end
points, or loop points—in the Parameters area—will no longer be accurate. The Update
Selected Zone(s) Info from Audio File command (in the Zone menu) reads loop settings
and start and end points from the audio file, and updates the settings of the zone
accordingly.
The Sample Editor window also offers the Edit > Sample Loop → Selection, Edit >
Selection → Sample Loop, and Edit > Write Sample Loop to Audio File functions.
