RE: [exs] EXS + Keyswitches?

2002-07-17 by Mark Hiskey

You can also use the velocity zones to mock-up key switching in one 
instrument. Use a series of transforms to convert note pitches to control 
inputs, using the cable switcher to patch them to velocity zones. The 
disadvantage is you get limited velocity control of volume and sample 
switching. I'll try to post an example on our website in the next couple 
of days.
