EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

If you like to create realistic drum kits, please read my following 
wishes:

1) Ability to create more realistic and playable drum samples: allow 
multiple samples to be alloted to each zone, then the ability to 
assign random playback of those samples within that zone.  We can 
then use a bunch of, say, medium drum hits in a zone defined as 
velocity 90-110, hard hits in another zone with velocity 11-126, 
soft hits in a zone defined as velocity 0-89, and heres the kicker: 
make a separate zone for velocity 127 so that the hardest hit 
randomly plays back its own special set of thwacks.  This 
functionality would and should be the ultimate way to produce super-
realistic snares.

2) Expanded functionality of hi-hat grouping such that a closed hit 
turns off an open one, BUT at the same time, a closed hit does not 
turn off a closed hit.  The unrealistic-sounding deficiencies of the 
EXS24 are even more glaring when an open hit shuts off an open hit.  
Another wish: the ability to determine HOW drastically a hat shuts 
off another, for example by defining a fade out for the hit that 
gets shut off.

3) Faster way to select multiple zones at once and change parameters 
for all selected zones (e.g., velocity zones, check boxes, etc.) by 
option-clicking.  Doing it one zone at a time is a huge expense of 
time.  I know this one's a no-brainer, but please read on...

4) Rubberband selection of zones on the keyboard.  Geez.  No brainer.

5) The ability to assign parameters to incoming samples that you 
import with the multiple sample import window.  For example, be able 
to set the group #, and any zone parameters.  Working with the EXS24 
with multiple samples is tedious and time-consuming.

Any comments are appreciated.
