EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

To clarify this all, here's a quote from Vienna:

>The Performance Tool (a plug-in with EXS24 mk II):
>Our basic idea is following the nature of making music: Musicians 
>don´t think (and feel) in single notes but rather in tone sequences, 
>melodies. So we established a system, that makes every tone of a 
>sequence accessible, by dissecting the first, second etc. note, 
>leaving the ambience of it´s predecessor to be the authentic and 
>natural connector between the notes of the sequence (which is why we 
>call it Performance!).
>
>For Repetition Performances this means, you have freedom in tempo, 
>articulation, velocity on your fingertipps!
>
>This means: play repetitions LIVE staccato, legato, portato, it will 
>always sound natural, because every tone you trigger was really 
>played in the sequence, and as you finish playing your repetition, 
>you trigger the last originally played note of the repetition by 
>keyswitch.
>
>For the Legato Performances : we have recorded every intervall from 
>the minor second to the octave of every tone in the range of the 
>instrument, always upwards and downwards, p and f, with/without 
>vibrato and for the strings with/without portamento.
>Then we dissected the starting tone, leaving the target tone with 
>the ambience of the starting note (yes, to be the natural connector).
>
>So within a Legato-Mode there´s lots of target notes waiting to be 
>triggered (up to 24 in the middle of the instrument range, always 
>depending on the interval you´re playing, up or down).
>
>As you play an interval, the Midi Performance Tool automatically 
>provides you with the target note you need. Additionally whenever 
>you finish your melody line, it always provides you with a fresh 
>starting note. And of course when you finish your line, you can 
>trigger a release sample for the last tone by keyswitch.

Hope this helps...
