Hey all - Joe here, got a question.  Is there a way to load loops into the
EXS24 sampler that can be triggered from the keyboard but they will adjust
automatically to a song's tempo?  I've converted a lot of loops into Apple
Loops format and that's great but I'd like to have a lot of loops under my
fingertips so I can check them against an open song, at that tempo.  Is this
a REX2 issue?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

thanks,

joe

I too would like to know if you can use the EXS the way that Sampletank works...... allowing you to change pitch and time independently///???

No, that's a SampleTank exclusive feature, called STRETCH. EXS works 
like all other samplers do, just playing back a samples and faster or 
slower rates.

The STRETCH feature in SampleTank takes a sample and can raise the 
pitch using formant conversion, so the sample changes pitch without 
changing length and also removes the munchkinization. The tradeoff is 
in latency and sound quality, but in most cases it's pretty good.

Hey,
Just looking through the forum and a little note which may be 
appreciated by some. I'm not sure if it works with the EXS24 or 
Sampletank, but I know of a really good time/pitch tool which I must 
say works much superior to logic's (that's what I find at least). It 
is a plugin by Serrato called Pitch n' Time. Very excellent at 
slowing down a wave form without changing pitch or changing pitch 
without change of tempo etc. I have not noticed any degredation of 
sound quality and it is solid as a rock. Go check it!

CHUG.
