Hello Fellow EXS Users

My question concerns the EXS output.

I primarily use the EXS for creating drum tracks in my projects.  I 
use the drumkit from hell samples, which i highly recommend by the 
way.

I end up with one track which contains all the different drums... for 
instance, i will end up with a Audio Inst 1 track with the EXS where 
the midi track in it contains all the drum, cymbols, hihats, toms etc.

However, when i then come to add an eq, or a plugin or anything, it 
will apply it to the whole sound, ie. all the toms, cymbols etc.

What would be great is if there was a way to make the ouput of the 
kick drum go one place, the ouput of the snare drum go another place, 
and same with all the other drums/cymbols, so that I could eq them 
all individually.

I currently cut and paste the midi parts for the different drum parts 
to different tracks to accomplish this, but this is time consuming 
and takes up too much RAM and is thus not a very good way of 
accomplishing it.  Im sure there is a better way of doing this.

Thankyou very much in advance for any replies.

Thanks, Jamie

Instead of choosing a stereo version of the exs, use the multi version. 
Then edit the instrument
and assign each group to a separate output. (ie, Kicks to one output, 
Snare to another
and so on.) You should obviously save this new version of the kit.

Then, in your environment, assign each aux to receive on the 
corresponding
channel from the exs instrument. Now you have complete control over 
each drum!

Hope that makes sense. :)

The only drawback I know by using this method is that you can't freeze 
a multi instrument.

And yes, Drumkit from Hell does sound really good.
