EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Sascha, et al.,
I took your advice and tried the Bismark bs-1. It worked fine, except some
large GM banks didn't play back correctly. It might be defective banks or
memory issues, or ? Anyway, I went to K-v-R to get some opinions, and one
reviewer said that VSamp was better for Soundfont playback. But when I
looked at the specs, it looked as if VSamp loads Soundfonts but doesn't
reproduce filter settings (similar problem to EXS). Is this the difference
between bs-1 and VSamp?
Regards,
Kevin
