Hi Bob
This is where the environment steps in...
The easiest way is to use 4 exs24s, create a midi instrument and connect it to a chain of
three transformers, with these you can split different keys to different exs24s (by note.)
Midi Instrument connects to transformer A which splits the midi note (say <= X) the top
output goes to an exs24 (1) and the other to another transformer (B) which splits again
(say <= Y) again one output goes to an exs24 (2) and the other to another transformer (C)
which splits (say <= Z) and send each output to an exs24 (3&4), this should give you;

EXS24 1 <= X < EXS24 2 <= Y <  EXS24 3 <= Z < EXS24 4

This will give you your keyboard splits. I know this may seem convoluted but you only
need do it once, you can save a default template in your autoload and adjust it according
to your needs when required. There is a lot of other things you can do in this way and
create complex velocity, note and mod wheel splits accross various instrument plugins.

Hope this helps, Mike
