EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi EXS/Logic environment geniuses out there!

I have been trying to figure out a solution to a serious shortcoming in Logic 
with using Audio instruments for over a year. It's time for desperate 
measures!

I will give the first person to solve this problem a Spectrasonics CD-ROM 
library of their choosing (that's a value of up to $500 if you want Symphony 
of Voices!). BTW, all of our stuff converts great to the EXS.

Here's a page list of the juicy options awaiting the winner:

OK..here's the brain twister:

I want to layer two audio instruments in real-time from MIDI input. I also 
want to use a split keyboard from MIDI input to have one audio instrument on 
the left and another on the right (in real-time).

Sounds simple...right?

Wrong....try it and you'll see the problem.

Logic only allows you to activate one in real-time. The environment should 
fix this, but no cabling tricks I've tried work. However, I know that the 
environment is incredibly powerful, and that there MUST be a solution in 
there somewhere!

This stuff is really easy to do with MIDI instruments, but with virtual 
instruments...OY!!

I have a keyboard that can send two MIDI channels at once, with zone ranges, 
all the Emagic interfaces and all of the functions of Logic Platinum at my 
disposal.

See if you can figure this out, and the first to do it will win the library 
of their choosing.

(BTW, don't tell me about making zones in the EXS...that's not an option 
here.)

Good luck and may the best man (or non-man) win!

Thanks,
