EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi everybody,

My understanding of the EXSP24 is that it simply plays back the EXS24's
instruments. I don't know whether the interface has the more recent
improvements (Logic 4.x) in file selection and SF2 playback.  A bunch of
further improvements to the EXS24  are due in 5.2. Will they make it across
to the EXSP24 -- obviously not anything to do with the Instrument editor
but what about the rest?

This thing is VST compatible but does it support multiple outputs properly
in Cubase and other VST hosts?
It is apparently not in a multitimbral form in Cubase-- Emagic.de talks
only about mulitple instances.

Given the removal of PC support by Apple -- how viable do you think this
VSTi is for the future -- just as a way of playing all the EXS24
instruments we have? These are the absolute staple of my work.

If I could easily translate them to Kontact that would be a way to go. The
instrument building facilities in Kontact (as far as I have acertained from
fooling with the demo) do not have the automatic features now in the EXS24
-- automapping etc. I would love to be wrong about this if anyone knows
otherwise. 

Regards,
Murray
