EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I agree.  I would be willing to pay an upgrade fee to get my 
sample libraries in new formats.  

I could not pretend to know every detail I am missing from a 
patch/program and I would prefer paying for the original sound 
designers and programmers to provide upgrades.

Hopefully, they could do this at a fair price, since we've already 
purchased the liscenses to use these samples.
