MESA II The Sampler Editor 31

Quick Access Window

The Quick Access Window provides an easy access to the key parameters in all pro-

grams and keygroups in the Sampler.

All the programs in the Sampler are shown in the Program Field. Click on a little arrow

mark beside the program name, or select the program name and press Enter key; the

keygroup parameters will be shown.

The various parameters, such as program name, program number, MIDI channel, L/R

stereo volume and balance, individual output volumes, output assignment and tuning

can be changed here.

You can navigate around these parameter fields either by mouse, Cursor keys or Tab

key. If your keyboard doesn't have the Cursor keys, press the Caps Lock down and

use the number keyboard pad instead.

To change individual parameter values, use the mouse to drag the control or use the

Enter key to type in the value directly. You can also press + and - keys to nudge the

values stepwise up or down.

Mute Groups Window

The Mute Groups Window lets you set the Mute Groups in a program.

The keygroups in a program are grouped into 32 Mute Groups. Those keygroups

grouped in the same Mute Group number mute each another. This function is mainly

used for special effects or drum kits.

With the program that plays several sounds simultaneously, you sometimes want to

override the polyphonic function and play only one sample. For instance, if you want to

follow an open high hat with closed one, you might want to stop the first as soon as the

second one plays. To do this, just assign both samples to the same mute groups, other

than 0. This makes the group monophonic and the open high hat will stop playing as

soon as the closed high hat, i.e. another sample in the same mute group, is played.
