EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I have been able to map aftertouch to the EXS using environment 
objects (instrument->fader->exs) with good results.

But I think that EXS v2 could use native support for aftertouch (and 
possibly foot pedal, breath controller, etc.) in some sort of 
modulation source-destination matrix. Roland and Kurzweil have done 
this quite nicely in hardware, of course, but it really is the key 
difference between a sample-playback device (EXS) and a synth-sampler 
(i.e., Roland XV-5080).

It is always a delicate tradeoff between simplicity and depth, but 
without broader modulation options, the EXS cannot really shine as 
a "performance" instrument. I still LOVE it for sample playback 
though (it is the PERFECT Groove Control sampler!).

Just my 0.02, of course.
