EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I remember hearing some of that stuff on Einstein CD from (AFAIR) 
BestService. Also most of them seem to use Eric Persing's Distorted 
Reality (mostly volume 1) quite extensively, but those are mainly 
loops, not kits. In general, I think if you're really serious about 
processing some plain samples with unconventional means (distortion, 
ring mod, etc.) and not too lazy to experiment you're gonna come up 
with some unique ideas everyone would be curious to know, cause after 
all that's how these guys got their specific sound IMMHO. Just my 
$0.02.

Best,

Andy
