EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Lee,

Polyphony does not solve the problem I mentioned.  If you set 
polyphony to 2 for the hihat group, a closed hihat won't shut off an 
open one.  So you have to set polyphony to 1 in order to solve that, 
but in the process you end up with open hats shutting off open hats, 
which sounds completely unnatural.  Natural-sounding hi-hat grouping 
is not solved by polyphony, as I mentioned in my previous email.

I'm pretty experience with Environments in Logic, and I know that 
this does not solve the problem.  By needing to highlight the EXS 
instrument in the Arrange window, you cannot use an EXS instrument as 
part of a drum map.  This is one of the (now-known) limitations of 
Logic with the EXS.

Seriously, I do appreciate your help.  But I'm pretty sure the 
problems I mentioned are unsolvable, and are a blatant limitation of 
the programm, as it currently stands.
