EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

This is the best way to make drump loops.. Map out a kit in the EXS24.  You 
can have just one bass drum, snare, hihat, etc., and make one kit out of it, 
and load in an EXS24 instrument for each kick.  Or, you can map several 
different kits in one EXS instrument (more efficiant).  By doing this now 
you can easily step sequence or record in real time and you will  be praised 
for making your own loops instead of ripping pre-made loops from a generic 
CD.

Mark
