EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Thoughts from the mind of Joe Moretti, 12-04-2002:

>In EXs-24 you can define zone lengths of just one note - C2-C2 for example

Now that you mention it...  Maybe I should just wait till the EXS 
arrives (demo expired last week), but I wondered what the use of the 
'groups' is.  As far as I could see they're just a convenient way to 
assign the same velocity range to a group of samples (zones) all at 
once, instead of having to go into each zone's definition and setting 
vel-ranges one by one.  Is that a correct interpretation?  Or do the 
groups offer a "real" functionality that's not offered by the zones? 
I.e. are there cases where you _have_ to use groups, instead of them 
being just "more convenient"?

On the same subject: am I also right in assuming that two zones 
assigned to the same key (with both a full vel-range) will cause two 
samples to be played simultaneously when playing the corresponding 
key?
