just further to this quote of my LUG post:

I did not hear Phil Jackson mention mention of any specific timetable for
the sorts of enhancements he spoke of. He talked about where the EXS24 is
heading -- eg toward possible Gigastudio format compatability perhaps and
Roland format compatibility.

At one point he flipped open the extras editor for parameters at the bottom
of the EXS GUI and there were like 40 parameters instead of the 8 or 10 in
4.8. He said we might get a second page of the GUI or something. Things
like velocity crossfading and switching were part of the revamp of EXS as
was improving the editor. 

He also mentioned better access to rapidly stepping through patches --eg
declare a "Performance" directory and have the option of stepping with the
up and down arrows through the patches there.

Hopefully we'll see these enhancements in 5.2 or perhaps later in the year.
 The EXS24 is such a great tool I really hope they make building
instruments and auditioning patches easier.
