Envelope Hold parameter
The EXS24mkII envelopes feature an additional Hold parameter (in the Instrument
Editor), which can be found in the Group parameters, next to the Attack Offset
parameter.
The Hold parameter determines the time period that the envelope will be held at the
maximum Attack level, before the Decay phase begins.
Group parameters
AHDSR Offset parameters are also available for the filter envelope, in addition to those
available for the amplitude envelope (see screenshot above).
Next/Previous Instrument menu items
The Instrument menu reinstates the Next Instrument and Previous Instrument menu
items of earlier Logic versions.
Remapping of Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheel events
In order to create realistic-sounding performances in an easy and intuitive way, the Jam
Pack 4 (Symphony Orchestra) Instruments use the modulation wheel to switch
between articulations (legato, staccato, and so on) and the pitch bend wheel to change
expression (crescendo, diminuendo, and so on). Further information about this can be
found in the Jam Pack 4 documentation.
This is achieved by internally remapping pitch bend events to MIDI controller 4 and
modulation wheel events to MIDI controller 11. To ensure compatibility with the Jam
Pack 4 instruments, the EXS24 mkII uses this remapping behavior for all instruments
that use controller 4 to switch between groups.
Please note that this remapping model is also valid for user-built instruments. If you
use controller 4 to switch between groups, the EXS24 mkII will remap incoming pitch
bend and mod wheel events to controller 4 or controller 11, respectively. The default
pitch bend and modulation wheel functionality can not be used. If you don’t want to
use this remapping model, select a different controller number for group switching.
Copying selected EXS Instruments
The Project Manager features an additional “Copy selected EXS Instruments and used
samples” function. To use this option, select the desired EXS Instrument in the Project
Manager and choose Functions > Copy selected EXS Instruments and used Samples. A
dialog opens, asking you to choose a destination folder for the copied Instruments and
samples. Simply select, and click the Choose button.
