So does everyone think the multiple outs shown in the beta 5.2 at 
MusikMesse will make EXS more suitable for live playing? Will 
everyone just have to create massive EXS instruments to load into one 
instance of EXS and then set up all the separate layers to go to 
multiple outs -- the same limitation of having to have the VSTi track 
selected & have Logic in Play mode will still exist, right? So for 
example a massive multi-timbral EXS24 instance couldn't peacfully 
coexist with multiple instances of Eric's new VST instruments, having 
multiple VSTi tracks being controlled live?

With the Midiman Surface One coming out soon, the Roland HPD15 
already available, and a new touch & velocity sensitive MIDI 
controller (AKAI PD15 I think is the name) announced recently... It 
would really be a shame to have all these awesome touch sensitive 
controllers be crippled by only being able to control one virtual 
instrument at a time.

I guess by the time I can actually afford a few of those controllers 
it'll probably be fixed though... ;-)
