EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Just wondering if any TDM users of Logic have tested if streaming  
string samples from a TDM EXS is any more or less CPU or disk I/O  
intensive than running the exact same thing in Native.
My brief tests over the last few days have the native version  
handling tasks better.
Come to think of it does anyone know if VM actually works on the TDM  
version? I mean it's there in in the prefs but does it actually work?

As I understand it, there is no TDM version of EXS.  When we insert EXS into
a TDM auxiliary track, it is still running native EXS, not running on the
TDM chips.  The output is still transferred to the TDM mixer by ESB, though
not limited to the 8 ESB buses used to transfer the other native
instruments.

In my tests, I have not seen any difference in how EXS performs whether it¹s
in a TDM AUX object or a DTDM Audio Instrument object.

I don¹t know the answers to your specific questions about the workings of VM
with EXS.
