EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Greetings all,

     I just wanted to know how everyone here programs their custom 
drum samples on the EXS24.  I'm not sure if its like this for 
everyone, but for me, browsing through drum samples on the EXS24 is 
painfully slow.  It seems to take about 1-2 seconds to load and 
preview the drum samples.  Is their another way to load drum samples 
into zones?  Also, how can you get Hi-Hats to choke on different 
velocity groups.  I know how to do it for one group and 1 note 
polyphony, but how can you do it for, let's say, a 6 layer velocity 
hi-hat group?

     I guess what I'm looking for is to preview drum samples quickly 
before I load them, similiar to all other soft samplers can.  I 
really would much rather use EXS24 for drums because of its 
stability as opposed to AU-VST wrapped RMIV, NI Battery and Ritmo.  
Thanks in advance for the help.
