EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

Fernando is right about the programming of Kirk Hunter's Virtuoso 
Strings. Even the Akai version is more involved with velocity and 
controller crossfades than most any other title, which can translate 
unpredictably into the EXS.

As an alternative, the SampleCell version translates quite well, with 
fewer anomalies. If you contact the ILIO crew we can work on a case by 
case basis to find a solution for you.
