EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I just loaded the EXS24 and have been fooling around with it for a 
few hours, and am disappointed to find that it won't play back when 
set at the receiving end of a drum map.  (e.g., directing some notes 
to one sampler, and others to EXS24)  Does this have to do with the 
fact that an audio object has to be selected in the Arrange window?  
This would be a very disappointing discovery, as I bought the EXS24 
simply for playing back hi-hats, rides and crashes, as part of my 
drum mapping layout, where my Kurzweil K2500 generates the kicks, 
snares, toms and percussion on 4 different channels.

Before I jump to any more conclusions, I could really use some 
feedback from someone.  It would seem a shame to not be able to use 
an EXS24 audio object however you'd like in the Environment.  Another 
basic example of this would be to direct midi to more than one EXS24 
object at a time via a splitter, hence layering EXS sounds easily 
within Logic.  

I'm going to peruse this list to see if this has already been 
discussed (and I apologize if it already has!), but I could really 
use your advice.  Thanks!
