EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Sascha,
thanks for the feedback.  Sorry I didn't mention, but I'm on Mac.  I 
know I have a better outlook than windows users as far as 
Logic's/ESX24's outlook is concerned, but Apple could and 
probably will discontinue the Logic/EXS24 Mac apps, and use 
the technology it acquired to create their own audio apps, and 
being that the EXS24 is not a standalone app, its useless if I 
move on after Logic.  I wish Emagic direction was more clear, 
cause I really want to move onto an all software based system 
(sampler, synths, effects).  But then again, nothing for certain, 
with anything, so I may as well get what's gonna work for now.

Paul
