EXS24 mkII Instrument Editor window
EXS24 mkII Instrument Editor overview
The Instrument Editor is used to create and edit sampler instruments. A sampler instrument
consists of zones and groups:
••
A zone is a location into which a single sample (an audio file) is loaded from a hard disk. You
can edit zone parameters in Zones view.
••
Zones can be assigned to groups, which provide parameters that allow you to simultaneously
edit all zones in the group. You can define as many groups as required. You can edit group
parameters in Groups view.
Note: The Instrument Editor is available only when Advanced Editing is enabled in your host
application preferences.
See Create EXS24 mkII instruments on page 195, Create EXS24 mkII zones, Create EXS24 mkII
groups, and Zone and group edit overview on page 199.
The Instrument Editor window has two views: Zones view and Groups view. Zones view displays
zones and associated parameters in the parameter area. Groups view shows groups and
associated parameters. See EXS24 mkII Zones and Groups view.
Important: Due to the level of integration between EXS24 mkII and Logic Pro, several sections
cover features that are not available in MainStage.
