Hi Sascha,

OK -  thanks for the clarification I knew there was some compensation. 
It doesn't cope with SIR though -

Yes - makes life a lot easier doesn't it.

LOL - I find that for untuned drums EXS24 sounds good and is extremely stable
and low on CPU.
I would have to agree that programming kits in the EXS24 is tiresome though. 

I use DR008 for some of these kits and things like the Randomiser and
Alternator are great for exploiting the L/R hits in DFH for example. There
seems to be a CPU penalty for using DR 008 UltraSampler based kits compared to
the same multi-sampled kit in EXS24. Is DR008 your preferred sampler for drums?

In any case these soft sampler based kits like the Mixtended Set are well
behind the state of the art  - BFD and DFH Superior are light years ahead in
terms of realism and ambience.
