EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I must indeed agree with Darcy (Phillips), it IS a massive oversight not
having a standard thing such as CC11 implemented into the EXS (and other
softsynths), especially considering the fact that using CC7 is a pretty
lousy workaround because a) it doesn't default to value 127 (which
expression does) and b) you will loose overall volume control.
What I am doing is using a special VST plugin (some kind soul custom coded
it for me) which is exactly doing what CC11 does - default value is all the
way up and there's some smoothing parameter which makes eventual "stepping"
inaudible. I'm just using a transformer to route *whatever* CC into it. The
plugin is PC only, if anybody wants it though, I would gladly post it.

Btw, as said above, this is not a problem of the EXS alone, there's hardly
any VSTi responding to expression - I really wonder how developers can
overlook such a basic thing which is a widely used standard in the MIDI
world since ages. We can only hope that future updates change something with
that (btw, the same is true for essential other things such as CC's 71 and
74) - in the case of the EXS I think we won't be dissapointed... (I'll have
to leave any wild guesses to yourself...).
