EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

This is really frustrating! *Every* synth/keyboard etc I've ever known will cut off old notes 
in order to play new notes when the polyphony is low.

I'd be grateful if anyone could try out this:

- create a new instrument, and load it into the exs
- create two zones on c1, one shot
- create one zone on d1, one shot
- load in two short samples to the c1 zones, make them different enough so you can hear 
that they are both triggered. a closed hi hat and a kick sample are good
- load in a longer sample, an open hat or something

Set the EXS24 to polyphonic, and set the voices value to 2, so we have 2-voice polyphony.

Ok, now when you play a C1, you will hear the two-sample layer, and the voice display will 
show two while the note plays.

When you play D1, the voice will show one, as D1 plays one sample/voice.

*Now*, and this is the kicker:- Play a D1, and then while it's decaying, play a C1. What in 
my view should happen is that the older note (the decaying open hat) should be cut off in 
order to play the C1 which requires all two voices to play.

But in 5.5.1 up to 7.0 here, the open hat continues to decay - the new C1 note is played 
but only one sample/zone plays correctly, the sample on the other zone clicks but is not 
played.

So, does this happen for you? And if so, this behaviour seems to be wrong?! And it would 
make the polyphonic hats tip mentioned before that seemed to work for so many people 
completely wrong and not workable.

So, for todays' prize, what obvious thing am I doing wrong and how can I have one of 
those d'oh! moments and get this thing working...?

Many thanks,
