Make advanced EXS24 mkII group selections
You can define a specific event to use as a group selection switch. Whenever the defined
selection event is triggered, zones pointing to this group can be played, while other groups
selected with a different event are not played. The defined event does not play or alter a sound; it
acts only as a group selection switch.
The Select Group By command is available in the View menu when you are in Groups view.
Group selection filters
The following group selection filters are available in the Type column pop-up menu:
••
Note: Used to select a group by MIDI note. You need to assign multiple groups to a different
MIDI note; if the note is triggered, playback of the other group is stopped.
••
Group: Used to select a group based on membership of a master group. You need to assign
multiple groups to one master group; if any group member within the master group is
triggered, playback of the other group or groups is stopped.
••
Control: Used to select a group based on a specified controller number.
••
Bend: Used to select a group by bend range. Groups are played only if they fall within the
specified bend range.
••
MIDI Channel: Used to select a group by MIDI channel. Groups are played only if they match
the channel.
••
Articulation ID: Used to select a group based on the articulation ID. This parameter is available
as a modulation destination, so you can switch between sample groups with a controller. For
example, you could use your keyboard modulation wheel to switch between several hi-hat
groups with different opening degrees.
••
Tempo: Used to select a group by tempo. Groups are played only if they fall within the
specified tempo range.
