EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

OK, I take it back. It's not as good as the grand is, but to run the grand I
have to set my Dual-800 G4 from 3ms to 29+ and forget adding any production
around it for a song arrangement. To be honest, I've never played the grand
without ASIO clicks in a full (piano-only) composition. Smaller groups of
notes work ok, but a full song chokes a lot in Logic. Still, my work on this
stand-in will come in handy. Perhaps updates of The (original) Grand will
address performance problems in Logic. In the meantime, this recreation is
among the very highest quality I have in my Instruments folder at this
point... Maybe, one day, if I'm feeling very ambitious, I'll take a crack at
multiple layers...

Subject: Re: [exs] Best piano with EXS24 (legal)

I have now created the new "Grand" and it sounds superb as an EXS24
instrument. Weighing in at only 127MB, it sounds as good as "The Grand" does
minus all the malfunctions of The Grand on max settings. I have sampled
every note at full sustain/velocity (at max quality) and programmed the
filter cutoff to rely on attack. To my surprise and delight, it sounds very,
very realistic in terms of its hammer action, as much to me as the original
Grand does. Now the legal question... I'd love to post this to you guys, but
I'm not sure if the Grand qualifies as a synth or would this be construed as
a redistribution of an existing sample factory? Help me out Eric P!
