Of course, same with Groove Control. I just meant that many libraries out 
there are in REX1 format, which are all mono. The selection of available REX2 
products is more limited.

Well...it will certainly be a great addition, but don't count on it making 
REX files sound better. It still comes down to how well the file is set up by 
the designer.

Most likely, you'll get more musical results from directly loading REX2 files 
into the EXS, than in playing the same files from an audio track. (REX2 to 
EXS is supposed to be an update in Logic 5 as well). This kind of time-slice 
stuff works better when you have more than one voice of polyphony, and you 
add a bit of release.

Best,
