EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Jeremy,

These new instruments are NOT sample libraries, but new virtual instruments that are designed around a core set of samples (similar to a Roland or Korg hardware synth...but better!)

There are MANY things these instruments do that are integral to the instrument's sounds that the EXS and other samplers cannot do (multimode filters, integrated layering with full synthesis for every layer, Analog style legato, Separate parameters for every key, Master Filters, Optimized engine for Bass, etc, etc, )....which is the reason we are going in this direction instead of making more sample libraries...This is a much more powerful concept...and EVERY user gets the same experience (Mac/PC, Logic, Cubase, Performer, Nuendo, Pro Tools, etc, etc)....best of all you don't need any sampler at all to use these, so there is no conversion hassles...install and make music...that's it!

The CPU load of Trilogy uses much less than the EXS24, and it is very stable in Logic (that's our main platform here too!). Latency is the same as the EXS. Basically, everything you like about the EXS use is similar to our instruments, but we go a lot further and make them more powerful AND easier to use, faster loading, more musical, etc. We can do this because the instrument is designed to serve the sounds, instead of the other way around (like is the case with every sampler).

Pwerfully Simple is our concept.

Hope that helps explain.

Best regards,

EP
