Re: [exs] HALion vs. EXS, was: Free Spectrasonics library if youcan figure this out first!

2001-12-12 by Alvaro Villalobos

Hello guys!

I wonder how I mapp instruments.

I\ufffdve been using my QY70 and it\ufffds so great I get all my drums in one GM drum 
mapp but can I do this with EXS so I can have all the drums on the same 
editor because it\ufffds hassle to always have to use different windows for 
different channels.

I don\ufffdt remember how I can use the Martrix window with more than one channel 
anyone??

Best regards,

Alvaro Villalobos.

Ps. Please email me @: Villalobos@... otherwise I\ufffdll never find the 
mail. Ds.
