Once imported, you’ll note each zone has its own set of parameters.
APPLES LOGIC PRO X TUTORIAL SERIES
The importing process works intelligently, so that you could drag just one sample over a single note and have it mapped accordingly, or drag a collection of samples and have them auto-mapped across a series of consecutive keys. To make sample mapping quick and easy, the EXS24 supports dragging-and-dropping directly onto the editor, which is arguably easiest to achieve using Logic’s built-in file browser. Zone Out Technically speaking, an EXS24 instrument is comprised of a series of zones, with each zone containing a sample of your choice. From here, we can see a list of the samples used in our instrument, along with their relative position on the keyboard, the number of keys that they span across, as well as how they respond to velocity. The editor window works as a graphic representation of your instrument’s mapping, with a keyboard across the bottom of the window. To open the editor, press the small Edit button in the top right-hand corner of the EXS24 plug-in. The EXS24 Editor, which sits ‘behind’ the EXS24 plug-in, mainly deals with the mapping of samples, although there are other creative sound-manipulation techniques up its sleeve that are well worth closer inspection, as we’ll see.Ĭreating a new instrument from scratch begins with an empty instance of the EXS24. In essence, the EXS24 Instrument plug-in is the front-end of the sampler, complete with a set of synthesiser-like controls that can be used to modify the sample playback – using envelope generators, for example, to shape the amplitude over time, or the filter to home in on harmonic information. Mapping Success One key component that can confuse new users is the difference between the EXS24 instrument plug-in, which you instantiate into your track list or mixer, and the so-called EXS24 Instrument Editor. Once saved, these newly created instruments can become an essential part of your sound palette, accessible across the entirety of your Logic projects. Turning a collection of samples – either taken from the web, or recorded by your own hands – into a fully fledged sample-based instrument needn’t take more than just a few mouse clicks.
