EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi again,

Thanks Sascha for answering the "Automatic Sampling of EXS" thread!

Also a question regarding to the so called "Recycle and EXS related" 
Transform trick? I have also read about it just like this.. but I thought 
of it long before that previously.

Quotation from my old letter for a "Logic master" friend o:) (it was last 
year before introducing REX support for EXS, in the 4.8 ages) I digged for 
in my email archive:

"This is the topic of reshuffling notes. Really, it has no sense for 
musical purposes, it can be used for Recycle-based things. Propellerheads's 
Recycle slices an audio groove into several slices based on a amp threshold 
and it can send these slices to a sampler and assigns these samples 
chromatically in a preset. At the same time it creates a standard midi 
file, where each note means one slice at these chromatic steps. If you play 
it back, one note in succession, the sampler plays it back as if it were on 
groove, but it is still many slices. The magis comes, when you lower or 
accelerate the tempo, and without time stretching you'll get amazing 
results. This is also enhancable if you change the order of notes.

That certain "Alter notes" I wrote you about - which is implemented into 
Propellerheads Reason only - does this: chages the order of notes AND THEIR 
LENGHT, while maintain its pitch. In Recycle it means: the sounds - thus 
the rhythm - of the groove will change, but the main point is that there 
will be NO GAPS between the notes, just like in the original Recycle MIDI 
File. "

Is this the thing that "Transform trick for EXS and Recycle" about?

AFAIK this killer feature of Reason not achievable simply in the Transform 
Editor. Am I right?
