The letter in parentheses next to the bank number allows you to control the order of
transmission when a bank select requires more than one message.

If there are no events defined for a particular bank, a standard bank select message is
sent for that bank.

For bank messages that need a channel (MIDI controller messages, for example), the
channel of the instrument is used. This feature is especially useful for multi-instruments,
as you only need to create one set of bank messages for all 16 sub-channels. If an
instrument’s channel is set to All, channel 1 is used.

Note: The custom bank select information becomes part of the instrument, and is
automatically copied with it, if you replicate the instrument object.

Touch Track Objects

A touch tracks object allows you to trigger MIDI regions or folders with single notes. This
can be used to create a new arrangement in real time, ideal for live performances.

You cannot use touch tracks to trigger audio. In the following section, any references to
regions mean folders and MIDI regions, not audio regions. Despite this limitation, you
could conceivably load your audio regions (as files) into the EXS24 mkII, and trigger it
with a touch tracks object.

To create a touch tracks object
Do one of the following:

µ

Drag a MIDI region or folder from the Arrange area into the Environment.
