EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I'm looking at getting the EXS 24 for my new logic/mac setup.  I 
currently use an Emu Ultra 6400 sampler.

I have some patches on the emu setup to cross fade between other 
patches via midi CC from a pedal....these 'other patches' themselves 
are velocity cross-faded.  For example, I have four vocal patches 
crossfaded (not switched, but crossfaded) on one patch, and moving 
the pedal sweeps between these 4 patches.

I alternately use the pedal to send patch change commands to a single 
midi channel...this allows me to switch between 4-5 patches in real 
time with the foot pedal.

Can the EXS handle anything like these two scenarios?  Can you think 
of any way it could come close?

Thanks,

Stephen

I do not recommend use of the EXS for this kind of the thing. Only premium
setups have a low enough latency on MIDI input. Most users do experience
latency on input (output of course is sample-accurate). Sounds like a live
application. Stick with hardware if this is a serious part of your live
show. If you're only concerned about performance on playback, I'm sure you
can do something along these lines in Logic (don't think velocity-controlled
crossfades between patches will happen though). It's the mention of the
words "foot pedal" that raised an alarm in my head. This software is not
intended for that kind of application. -Jer
