Re: [EXS] Best format?

2005-09-24 by Sascha Franck

Seriously, when it comes to drums, I highly recommend getting something in addition to the EXS. Battery 2 right now might be your
best bet.
I find drum mapping (especially velocity mapping) to be a way too laborious experience in the EXS, and as the import function is
only covering a few, rather old-ish formats (which more than often enough aren't imported properly, too), you won't have much luck
with existing libraries either.

So, to make use of the latter, you've got three choices:
- Go through the remapping nightmares.
- Buy a translator tool, such as CDxtract or Translator (having one of them might be a more or less something like a must one
day...).
- Buy a dedicated drum sampler.

If programming drums is one of the main things you're concerned about (it certainly is for me), I'd go for the last option. I simply
couldn't live without a dedicated drum sampler anymore.
