EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hey guys,

I just tried creating a patch based on your correspondence, and the
result 
was not very satisfying. I've been trying to figure out weather EXS
can 
crossfade between samples like the Giga for a while now - i have some 
beautiful patches that are very expressive and very playable in Giga
format. 
I've used CDXtract to convert them to EXS, but the conversion was not 
complete in regards to crossfading between sounds. EXS does NOT 
crossfade but "jump" between the samples - the transition is very
audible and 
un-musical. I created a very simple patch with three violin samples
of a same 
note (p, mp, f), assigned them to different groups (1-40, 41-79,
80-127), 
selected 'controller 1' instead velocity in the EXS editor... And,
yes - the 
instrument now switches between the three samples, but there is no 
crossfading at all, nothing smooth about the transition. Am I missing 
something or is this something EXS is not quite able to do right yet.

Cheers,

Damir Price
