Just assign the midi track to an EXS instance instead of some 
external machine.  I.e. insert the EXS in e.g the "Audio Instr 1" 
channel strip.  Then assign the Arrange track to "Audio Instr 1". 
Very straightforward really.

If you want to process base & snare separately you can either use the 
multi-out version of the EXS (needs LA5.2+, if I remember correctly), 
or use separate tracks indeed.

For multi-out use, insert the EXS as a multi-instrument instead of a 
stereo instrument.  Change the instrument definition in the EXS 
instrument editor to route different instruments to different outputs 
-- like snare to out3-4 and base to out5-6.  Then set up 2 Aux 
objects, and pick those EXS outputs as their input.  EXS outputs 1-2 
will "come out of" the regular EXS channel strip.  Outs 3-4 and 5-6 
will come out of the 2 Auxes.

If you want to use separate tracks, just load 2 more EXS's with the 
same instrument in e.g. Audio Instr 2&3 and assign those to two 
Arrange tracks.  Copy the EXS drum-sequence and paste it twice on the 
two new tracks.  Now delete anything you don't need from the 3 sets 
of sequences, or, if you have a recent LA version, use the mute-tool 
in the Matrix editor to mute the redundant notes.
