EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

I'm considering making my first purchase of EXS-24 format CDs of acoustic
samples. For those who have gone there already, I have a couple of
questions....

1. Can I expect that the samples in sample CDs like, say, the ProSamples
series (which lists 5-7 formats, including EXS-24), will come with EXS-24
instruments already configured? Or will I have to fumble with the zones
myself?

2. I'm finding the ProSamples advertising relatively persuasive, and am
considering getting their 'Rare Ethnic Vol 31' and 'Orchestral Brass Vol
20'. If anyone has these or others in the series and can offer comments, or
can point me at other good sample CDs of acoustic instruments that they've
used, I'd appreciate it.

thanks
