Sharing samples in EXS

2005-11-20 by Peter Ostry

The Garritan Personal Orchestra works with the Kontakt player and the  
descriptions recommends NOT to use the same instrument more than  
once, to be exact, not simultaneous. Instruments would have to play  
the same samples which is not possible.

How is that with EXS? If I have two percussion sets with different  
parts but using the same samples, may I run into a "sample-sharing"  
problem or is it different in EXS?

Example:
Set 1 - Bongos, Congas, Claves.
Set 2 - Tambourin, Chimes, Claves.

Ok, claves have very short sounds but in case two clave sounds which  
use the same sample play at the same time but on different tracks. Is  
that problem or not?

I ask because I'm reorganizing my samples with EXSmanager and wonder  
if I should select "complete sample set for each instrument" or  
"share samples as much as possible" for certain instruments like  
Wizoo Latin Percussion.
