EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Sascha, Hendrik, Darcy and others

Reading the various posts no one came up with this solution that works
fine for me. Or did I overlook it? In that case, sorry. Anyway...

I use pitchbend to control CC96 in the active instance of EXS24, loaded
with, let's say strings. CC96 is controlling a EXS parameter called
"Level Fixed". It acts as a surrogate Expression. Well, not quit, but it
controls volume apart from CC7.

The reason I find this useful is because CC96 defaults to -16dB. When
pitchbend is in the middle, the volume is somewhere halfway the dynamic
range. So there is room for crescendos and diminuendos, moving pitchbend
up and down. 

The obvious drawbacks are of course that pitchbend, if needed, has to be
recorded in a separate run and the left hand is busy.  The level changes
are not allways very smooth, but that is merely a matter of a steady
hand on the pb controller. If someone could come up with a "control
value damper"...

Regards,
Herbert

(thanks to Hendrik who helped out with the proper transformer settings.)


Ps. And yes: I second the request to Emagic to implement CC11 in the
next release. (And a true intuitive file management, sigh...)
