Shift selected Zone(s)/Group(s) Right (Zones incl. Root Key)    ⌥⇧→

Changes the root key when moving a zone. Unchanged from the EXS24 in function. Visual interface changes abound.

You can edit zone and group parameters numerically in the Mapping pane zone view and group view. You can also graphically edit a number of zone and group parameters in the Mapping pane keyboard view and the Zone pane.

  Convert Regions to New Sampler Track…    ⌃E

The description of how to use the sampler has changed. Basically the same operation(s), but using the new Sampler instrument as opposed to the previous EXS24 instrument.

Might get a better idea of how the sampler works now.

Control-click one of the selected regions, then choose Convert > Convert Regions to New Sampler Track from the shortcut menu.

Convert audio regions to sampler instruments — Logic Pro X

You can convert audio regions to sampler instruments with the Convert Regions to New Sampler Track function (default key command: Control-E). All selected regions are sequentially mapped—in accordance with their timeline positions—to the specified key range, starting with the lowest note.

  Automap using Root Note from Audio File Names

My first new 10.5 command. This is a Sampler command. It currently doesn’t look like I can put a link to the documentation here. Looks like I have to type the command into the Help menu and assume that one of the links that shows up will get me where I need to go…

Logic Pro Sampler Mapping pane menu bar

AutoMap using Root Note from Audio filenames: Selected zones are repositioned and extended horizontally to fill the entire key range without gaps between zones in accordance with root note data in the audio filename. If multiple selected zones have the same root note in the filename, they will be sorted by velocity, based on audio content loudness levels.

  Open in Audio File Editor    ⌃W

Opens the currently selected note/sample in the Audio File Editor. Not to be confused with the global command ‘Open in External Sample Editor ⇧W’ (I have this currently set to RX7) which opens the audio in a separate application.

Audio File Editor overview — Logic Pro X

Most day-to-day audio editing tasks are performed in the main window and Audio Track Editor. The Audio File Editor is useful for removing pops and clicks in audio material, setting accurate crossover points for looped playback, correcting phase cancellation errors, and more.

You can use the Audio File Editor to work with transient markers that indicate significant points—or transients—in an audio file. The audio on a track is analyzed for transients the first time you enable that track for Flex Time editing. Any detected transients in the file are marked.

Important: Most edits and functions performed in the Audio File Editor are destructive. This means the actual data of audio files is changed. Although you can undo edits and processing commands, you should work with copies of your audio files, rather than the originals.

  Shift selected Zone(s)/Group(s) Right    ⌥→

In the EXS24 Sampler. Shifts to the right. I am not much of a sampler user, more of a sample player. When I first was exposed to samplers (Fairlight) they were ludicrously expensive and severely limited in their capacity. I thought it much better to get people to play real instruments 😉 Silly me.

Graphically edit EXS24 mkII zones and groups — Logic Pro X

You are not limited to editing zones and groups in the Parameters area. You can also graphically edit a number of zone and group parameters in the Zones/Groups Display area above the keyboard. If you want to edit the audio file of a zone, see Edit samples in the Logic Pro X Audio File Editor.

From the November 2007! “Sound on Sound”

Expressive Sound Design With EXS24

EXS24 is a fully fledged virtual sampler that allows you to not only load and play extensive libraries of sounds, but to also edit them and use them as starting points for further sonic manipulation. All the controllers and modifiers you would expect to find on an advanced synthesizer are included here and they’re all available from the Editor view of the plug-in window, with the added benefit of a very flexible modulation matrix allowing for all sorts of control signal source routing to various parameters. A flexible Filter section with six switchable modes of operation (high-pass, band-pass and four types of low-pass) provides all the tone-shaping options desired, while the amplifier section is ‘hard-wired’ to velocity (although constant values are also possible via limitation of the range control). Three LFOs and two Envelopes can be freely assigned to any generator or modifier parameter — as well as to each other — using the available modulation matrix, while the Via field allows for assignment of a further modulation source (typically a MIDI controller number, although control signal sources are an option too). The routing possibilities are endless, as are the ways in which a static source sample can be modulated dynamically.
