EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Yes, this should be perfectly do-able.  Not a bad idea at all. 
Should also be very easy to make in the environment.  I could give it 
a shot if anyone's interested.
Such an environment patch should have a setting for "number of zones" 
and something like "width per zone" and "lowest keyboard note" or 
something...

The only drawback is that you'd have to create dedicated 
exs-instruments to work with it...  OTOH, the advantage is that you 
would end up with all midi notes on a single track, instead of having 
them distributed over however many different tracks.

Wow, if only Emagic had implemented this stuff properly, how much 
easier would life then be...
