EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Thanks for the info.

I've been asking Emagic for Roland support  for the EXS24 since 
before day one!! I sent an "official" suggestion and spoke out long 
and loud on the Logic-Users' group.
And I'm not the only one either.

I can't understand why they overlook this important format.
