(This is one advantage Translator www.chickensys.com may bring to the 
included conversions)

-Set up a modulator CC1 as the source, and Sample Select as the 
destination. Set amount of 100%.
-For example a 3 way xfade, set the XFade value to anywheres from 25 to 40.
-Set the Sample Select fields in the Groups (you can do this in the 
Zones too, but there's a lot more to do) to the ranges you desire, in 
our example you'd set them to 0-42, 43-85, 86-127.

The XFade value puts a fade in and fade out IN ADDITION to the Select 
values. So a XFade value of 40 will fade in/out each intersecting 
travel the full amount, whereas 20 just smooths it out.

IMPORTANT: There are two limitations that EXS24 has regarding doing 
what Giga does.

You can't have a MW Xfade on a velocity switched instrument on the 
EXS24. This is because the Sample Selects are not available to use 
for MWXfade because they are being used for the Velocity switching.

A Giga instrument can have custom XFade settings per Zone. The EXS 
has just one XFade offset value for the instrument, but if the Giga 
values are consistent (which they often are), the EXS24 can do it.
