Re: [EXS] Upgrade possible from EXSP to EXS24 mark II?

2004-10-04 by deweycooksey

Is it possible to use EXS24 in Express?  I have  Logic 4 and purchased
EXS24 (full) seperately.  I have not used either in a couple years,
but would like to get back into things, cheaply.  That's why I'm
looking at Express instead of Logic.  TIA!
