EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

"It would be nice (forgive my naivete here) if there was a feature where there was a mapping thing, where you could have a list of 128 .exs files that would respond to Program Changes, according to number. Stored in a Logic Song, where each song would have a different map. "

This would be a feature I would definitely use. Especially in a live situation.

I usually work solo or in a duo so I need backing vox but have to do with a harmoniser which isn't ideal, they sound so electronic.

I use a Fantom X8 and use the song list function to switch between songs on the fly. You never know what song will be needed next, I never use set lists.

I would like to use main stage and set up a ESX instrument with the recorded backing vocal tracks assigned to a different ESX Program and the X8 would tell the ESX which patch to load. Currently all the program change does to the ESX is step incrementally up or down, no good to me if the song I need is 30 higher than the one just played.

Alternatively It would be nice if logic had a play list function where I could lay down the audio tracks along with the midi sequence and use logic instead of the X8's sequencer. You're probably wondering why I don't just use backing tracks, I can't becuase most the songs change sounds on the keyboards I'm playing on the fly.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can achieve this?
