Hi Thomas,

This was happening to me when I was trying to build some large instruments
(ahem) recently -- eg paste in too many zones/groups and they superimpose
graphically and don't seem to work properly in other ways.

The exact limitations of the EXS24 Mk II have not been spelled out and no-one
involved with its development has posted here for a couple of years as far as I
can remember. EXS is still a great sampler -- just wish they took a bit better
care communicating about it. Also the limitations of the cross-fading model
[only one kind of fading (other samplers can crossfade over a range of notes so
that there is no sharp transition between zones) , no velocity switching and
crossfading simultaneously) are a little bit astounding given that they have
been coming for such a long time. 

Perhaps backward compatability was the issue here.

Regards,
Murray
