EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Thanks to Garth Hjelte's assistance and a lot of persistence, I was finally
able to download the Akai piano samples.  I had been happily using ST Free
on OS9, but got the Akai samples to use with EXSP AU on my laptop.

However, I'm not all that thrilled and wonder if I am perhaps doing
something wrong.  When I play normally the sound is beautiful, but when I go
past a certain velocity, the samples sound so harsh that they seem to be
coming from a different instrument, completely destroying any sonic
continuity across the dynamic range.

Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there some tweaking I can do to
remedy this?  I've never created an instrument from samples, but it almost
seems as if I'm missing a couple of steps of timbre changes across the
dynamic range.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Gregory
