EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

This idea of an EXS24 instance loading new instruments during the playback
of a song is more problematic than some seem to suppose. 

This operation is going to put a serious load on your sample drive if the
instruments being loaded are at all large. Think about how long it takes
some of them to load when the transport isn't running. Do you think this
would disrupt playback of your big orchestral mix? 

This is one of the reasons why Giga on a separate machine is more suited to
this approach - all the resources of the machine are devoted to sample
playback and gig files also have the option of compression to accelerate
loading. It would be great if EXS24 also operated in stand alone mode or
better still if it could work with another instance of the Logic mixer on a
second machine. Of course synching multiple machines introduce all sorts of
issues and things like delay compensation go out the window.

The best solution at present is to load all your instrument sounds into
separate instances.
