This section outlines the use of the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu. The Edit button opens the Instrument Editor window. The Options button opens a pop-up menu. See EXS24 mkII Options pop-up menu commands.
Click the Sampler Instruments field to open the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu.
Choose the sampler instrument you want to edit or play.
Do one of the following:
Choose the next or previous instrument in your sampler instrument library.
Choose Next Instrument or Previous Instrument from the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu (or use the Next EXS Instrument or Previous EXS Instrument key command).
If EXS24 mkII is the key focus window, you can also use the following key commands:
Next Plug-In Setting or EXS Instrument
Next Channel Strip or Plug-In Setting or EXS Instrument
Previous Plug-In Setting or EXS Instrument
Previous Channel Strip or Plug-In Setting or EXS Instrument
Tip: You can also browse through your sampler instruments by using your MIDI keyboard. The Sampler Preferences window offers Previous EXS Instrument and Next EXS Instrument options. These allow you to assign a MIDI event, such as a MIDI note, control change, or program change to select the previous or next sampler instrument. See EXS24 mkII preferences.
Choose Refresh Menu from the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu.
Choosing this menu item scans all default file locations and updates the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu. Use this command when you have finished importing or creating new sampler instruments.
You can manually load sampler instruments that are not shown in the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu. This is done using the Instrument pop-up menu in the Instrument Editor window.
To open the Instrument Editor window, click the Edit button in the Parameter window.
Choose Instrument > Open, then browse to the instrument in the dialog.
Click the Edit button to open the Instrument Editor window.
Note: Clicking the Edit button when no sampler instrument is loaded also opens the Instrument Editor window and automatically creates a new, empty, sampler instrument. See EXS24 mkII Instrument Editor overview.
