EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Here's the info from Gary Garritan's website:

VIRTUAL MAESTRO TOOLS for the EMAGIC LOGIC ENVIRONMENT by Roman Beilharz

In the Update package is a MaestroTools equivalent for the Logic Audio 
Environment and requires Emagic Logic Audio to operate. Maestro-Tools 
extends the capabilities of GigaStudio by intercepting and then 
manipulating MIDI data to produce, for example, alternating bow strokes and 
the ability to play in monophonic mode. Emagic's Logic Audio comes with a 
programmable MIDI architecture, enabling the user to create special MIDI 
features. Within Logic Audio, a user can accomplish most of the things 
MaestroTools does, but without the need for a stand-alone program. Many 
thanks to Roman Beilharz for producing the innovative programming. This 
program is available in MAC and PC formats. More information is included in 
the update package.

Bob,

 From what I can gather, it seems to me that this is for people who control 
Gigastudio from Logic, not users of the AKAI version of GOS (Garritan 
Orchestral Strings). For one thing, there's no mention of EXS. Also, note 
that the 'update package', where one can find this environment, is for GIGA 
users.

I know that quite a few composers run Gigastudio from a PC and connect it 
to their MIDI interface. It basically becomes another sampler connected to 
your main computer (Mac or PC). It'll be interesting to see if the new 
version of EXS makes it easier to integrate more of the GIGA format's 
potential for expression...
