Thanks for re-posting this material Hendrick -- I missed it the first time
round. I can't help but reflect on the situation where the developers at Emagic
have obviously thought long and hard about what features to build into this new
EXS version and yet the thinking behind the features -- articulating the uses
to which they can be put  -- is not communicated. Not even any new patches to
demonstrate the various operations -- these could use the audio files the EXS
installs. 

If _I_ had done all that work to design and build new features I would want to
tell people about them and about the new things you could do with the
instrument. I am not the only person with these wierd ideas -  go to KVR-VST
and look at the news item on the new version of Z3ta+. The developer has given
a complete list of bugs fixed and the new features.
