Re: [exs] Can EXS24 replace a hardware sampler?

2002-01-11 by Alvaro Villalobos

Hello Joeri!

It seems like you havn\ufffdt heard the Xtrem Analogue from Emagic??

I know people are using the CD as a complement if you don\ufffdt own Roland 
Matrix 12 for example..

So I\ufffdm not sure about your point Joeri??

And I also wonder if you are not using the EXS for sounds what do U use it 
for??

I only use my EXS for sounds and not for having sex with my girlfriend or 
something like that! *just kidding*

Best regards,

Alvaro Villalobos.

Ps. I have found a free VST piano for some time ago and it sound superb so 
I\ufffdm not sure that you have to buy everything for using it with Logic. Ds.
