Getting to Know the EXS24 mkII Parameter Window

The EXS24 mkII Parameter window is used to change and control the entire loaded sampler instrument. Control over individual samples (zones), or grouped samples, is performed in the Instrument Editor window (see An Overview of the EXS24 mkII Instrument Editor, and subsequent sections).

Figure. Parameter window showing parameter groups.

The following parameter groups are available:

Sampler Instruments pop-up menu and field: Click to access and load your sampler instrument libraries. The name of the loaded sampler instrument is displayed in the field. The related Edit and Options buttons are found to the right. See Using the EXS24 mkII Sampler Instruments Pop-Up Menu.
Global parameters: Used to select and configure sampler instruments, define the polyphony, set crossfades, and more. See Adjusting EXS24 mkII Global Parameters.
Pitch parameters: Adjust tuning, transposition and pitch bend behavior. See Using the EXS24 mkII Pitch Parameters.
Filter parameters: Used to shape the tonal color of the loaded sampler instrument. See Working with EXS24 mkII Filter Parameters.
Output parameters: Used to control the level and keyboard scaling of the loaded sampler instrument. See EXS24 mkII Output Parameters.
Modulation router: The strip across the center of the interface is the modulation router. The router links modulation sources, such as the envelopes and other parameters shown in the lower portion of the interface, to modulation destinations, such as the oscillators and filters. See Getting to Know the EXS24 mkII Modulation Router.
Modulation and control parameters: The area immediately below the router is where you can assign and adjust the modulation and control parameters—the LFOs and envelopes. See Working with EXS24 mkII Modulation.
