Mmmm, copyrights get lost will al that quoting :-). It wasn't me using the
EMU. I never owned a RAM based hardware sampler in my life. I always did my
effects in ROM bases sample synths. Using Explorer32 in the early 90-ties, I
programmed all effects I needed at the time (as far as lions and camera
drives) for scoring video's.
Soft samplers like EXS opened the world of keyboard controlled RAM sampling
to me. I was surprised to read that many samplers can't use more than 128MB.
Never had that problem... Now I understand why film composers need a rack
with 32 Rolands and they never turn them off once the libraries are loaded
:-).

Do you do that with EXS24, in 1 minute?? I can imagine doing that with
Battery of DR008, but not with EXS.
