EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Eli, hope you don't mind if I jump in here,

The thing that I find limiting in your suggestion 
(although it is a good one) is that the user 
cannot play a given line at the same time. If the 
switcher is selected, then you're using the midi 
controller to send switch commands, not midi 
note-ons, and of course, if you're sending 
note-ons (exs instrument is selected), then you're 
not sending commands to the switcher. The ideal 
thing would be to be able to tell the environment 
that the first octave of your controller sends 
data to one track, while the rest of the range of 
your keyboard controls another track...
