EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

Wouldn't happen to know about a better solution than what has allready been posted, just wanted to chime in saying that the hihat
exclusive group thing is a true pain when dealing with a lot of samplers, even dedicated drum samplers.
It's really beyond my understanding how this can't be adressed properly by each and every sampler developer.
The solution can be very easy: Instead of setting up groups with limited polyphony, the groups should cancel themselves out on a
note number base. That way you could have as much ringing, velocity switched or velocity x-faded samples as you like while hitting a
new key would perfectly shut them down.
Now, would you happen to know what? This is exactly how FXpansions DR-008 is handling things. Individual cells are allways
polyphonic, regardless whether you route them to a "choke" group or not (and fwiw, Battery doesn't do this).
Of course, DR-008 is PC-only, but I'm sure the upcoming Drum 9 (which will come in all plugin formats) will just work the same.

On a sidenote: Without patting myself on the back too much, you may take a wild guess whom it was, requesting this very feature
during the DR-008 betatest... (btw, it has also been one of my first requests when the EXS was tested, but Mr. Developer apparently
didn't agree that this could be important, just as he didn't agree on a whole lot of other points, *sigh*).
