EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

3 new environments online: Random CC, Random Notes and Transpose. 
Blurb from the website:

*** Random CC

Upon reception of a note-on, Random CC generates a user-adjustable 
controller with a random value. This controller might be used in a 
variety of ways -- sample switching, random cutoff frequencies on 
synths, etc.

Random CC was originally intended to implement a feature missing in 
the Emagic EXS-mkII sampler. You might find other uses for it though.
You can let the EXS switch between layers in a layered instrument, 
based on the value of some adjustable controller. That way you can 
use e.g. your modulation wheel (controller 1) to switch between a 
violin pizzicato and a violin legato layer.
One obvious application of this feature would be: have a few layers 
of drums, and have each note-on trigger a different drum-layer. This 
way you could have maybe 6 slightly different snare drums, each being 
triggered at random when a note-on arrives, thus giving more realism 
to the sound. Unfortunately, the EXS doesn't provide such a randomise 
option. Therefore this macro was created.
Documentation included.


*** Random Notes

A simple environment macro that turns incoming midi-notes into 
totally random notes. The output range is adjustable. The macro is 
intelligent enough that it remembers which note-ons it has sent and 
sends the appropriate note-offs when releasing the keys. This means 
you can use it for polyphonic play. People asked for it, so I built 
it. Don't ask me what to use it for... Documentation included.


*** Transpose

WARNING: Logic 5.x only!
Transpose is a macro that allows you to quickly transpose your MIDI 
keyboard, using "unused" keys. You can use it if you e.g. want to 
play a full grand piano on a 5-octave keyboard. Another use might be 
with samplers that don't support key-switching: assign different 
sample sets to different parts of the keybaord, and use Transpose to 
quickly switch from one set to the other. Documentation included.
