The global parameters affect the overall behavior of EXS24 mkII.
Keyboard mode buttons: Switch between legato, monophonic, and polyphonic behaviors. See Set the EXS24 mkII keyboard mode.
Unison button: Turn Unison mode on or off. See Use Unison and Voices in EXS24 mkII.
Voices and Used fields: Set the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously. The Used field indicates the number of playing voices in real time.
Vel Offset field: Increase or decrease incoming MIDI note velocity values by ±127, expanding or limiting the dynamic response to MIDI note events.
Hold via field: Set the modulation source used to trigger the sustain pedal function. This holds all currently played notes and ignores note-off messages until the modulation source value falls below 64. The default is MIDI controller number CC 64 (the standard MIDI “Hold/Sustain” controller number).
Crossfade parameters: Use to crossfade between layered samples—zones—with adjacent velocity ranges. See EXS24 mkII crossfade parameters.
