Per-
That was it.  It now works great.  What a sweet sound!  I've been using an
old Kurzweil 2500 for sampled piano, and while it was good in it's day, no
comparison here!

I do share your frustration with EXS's inability to intelligently handle
note off samples.  I really couldn't use the White Grand with release
samples because 1) I'm using a Korg Trinity as keyboard controller that
seems to send a uniform note-off midi velocity of 64 as opposed to the
actual velocity generated by my hands on the keys and 2) the EXS triggers
the note offs when I let go of the keys even though I'm holding down the
sustain pedal.  If it's a quiet chord and I lift my hands you hear a big
damper noise as the chord continues to ring out.  We have been asking Emagic
to fix this for some time.  I wonder what's going on over there.  If you
read the Logic forum, you'll find that an overwhelming majority of us favor
fixing all the bugs in Logic as opposed to continually cranking out new
features.  To date, the requests seem to be falling on deaf ears.  Instead
we get Logic Pro (6.4) which is identical to Logic 6.3.3 only you get all
the virtual instruments which I already paid excessively for, and a new
startup splash screen.

If you feel ambitious, you might try writing to them and explaining how the
EXS really needs this note off update if it's going to compete with the Giga
Studio.  I have many libraries now that use this feature, but can't be
implemented correctly in the EXS.

Anyway, many thanks for your efforts, I'm a very happy customer, and I plan
to post (if you don't mind) a quick synopsis of the last 24 hours to the
Logic and EXS forums so everybody can read a testimonial of what incredible
product support looks like.

Best regards,
James Ryan
