EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello!

For me it has replaced the hardware!

About a year ago I was ready to buy an Akai sampler but then came the EXS 24 
and I got it nowadays I know I couldn\ufffdt haved lived my life without it!!

If it wasn\ufffdt for my EXS I surely would have to buy a hardware sampler but I 
don\ufffdt have any good reasons for that know just get a good soundcard and use 
that for your EXS 24 I\ufffdm sure you would love it!

Best regards,

Alvaro Villalobos.


Ps. I only have one SPDIF in/out but If you are using digital I\ufffdve heard 
there are several reasons to get a card wich is using opticals in/out my 
friend is using this and he has 42 in/out digital wich he surely is pleased 
with! Ds.
