Assigning plugs to instrument in a drumkit

Assigning plugs to instrument in a drumkit

2004-09-17 by Andy Hardwake

Hey guys,

Guess now's my turn to ask a stupid RTFM question. Please excuse my 
ignorance (for a decade or so I've been working mostly with my hardware 
boxes, and used EXS only in addition to those, but now I am in the 
middle of a session at a different studio, no hardware machines here, 
only EXS and Kontakt are at hand and need an answer really quickly). 
Let's say I havve a drumkit and need to assign a plug to each of its 
instruments separately without splitting the kit to different EXS 
instances. With Akai I can assign groups to different outs and process 
them separately. Can I do the same in EXS, I.E. route kick to bus 1, 
snare to bus 2 and so on? Just gimme a hint where to look and I think 
I'll guess the rest of the procedure. Thanks a lot for any input.

Best,

Andy

In the instrument editor, route your groups to the different outputs of 
the exs (main, 3-4, 5-6, etc etc) then create aux channels in logic, 
and assign the inputs of the aux channels to the various numbered 
outputs of the exs ...

the instance of the exs will have to be a multi-channel one, obviously 
...

this is not well documented in the manual (afaik)

hope this helps,

Jonathan

Perfect. Thanks a mil, Jonathan.

Oh, really? Now I understand why I felt a bit stupid after quickly 
looking through the manual and not finding any detailed info at all, so 
that's why I asked. Now I have everything working, thanks again. You 
guys rock!

Best,

Andy
