EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi all !
I was always wondering if there´s a fast way to drop audiofiles 
from the arrange window into the EXS. Since I am doing a lot of 
sound design I need to transpose sounds.
So what i´d like to do is pick a sound in the Arrange, drop it into 
the EXS and get a new EXS Instrument with this sound on C3 
and pitched up and down around it. Is that possible or do I have 
to open an new EXS Instrument, name it, find the right sound file 
somewhere on my hard drive, tell the EXS what to do with it, save 
it, open an Instrumet....takes too long for my taste....
Is there any help out there?

Thanks!

You've already answered your own question I'm afraid...  The EXS 
doesn't do drag & drop, and the Instrument Editor feels and acts 
almost like an MS-DOS command line interface.  In other words: you're 
hosed... (and so are we all).
