Hi,

I'm trying to assign control over the EXS24 ENV2 (Amp) attack to one of the
MIDI faders on my keyboard so I can change it as I play. However I can't
figure out which MIDI number the EXS attack might have been allocated? Can
the EXS24 in fact accept MIDI commands to make parameter changes? Or is this
only do-able through drawing in the automation?

Thanks,
Denis Clohessy

Hi folks,

Anrea Gozzi of Redmatica has released his long-awaited software 
Keymap software:
http://www.redmatica.com./Redmatica/Keymap.html

This will be a MUST-HAVE for any serious EXS24 owner.
I just ordered my copy.....

Regards - Colin

You should check the preferences in Song Settings >MIDI to see that
the 64 high-numbered Controllers are being allowed to access the EXS
or are used as standard MIDI.

WHINING WARNING
This is a real drag - it would be much better for Logic's internal
instruments not to have to rely on standard CC controllers which are
useful for other things.
Why is there not a bank of "Meta-Controllers" for internal messages?

Just downloaded the user's guide out of curiousity...
ugh, 317 pages and no table of contents, and no index??

Keymap seems to have a build-in sample editor, and EXS24's own sample  
editor isn't really one of it's strong points. But I still have to  
find a detailed description of Keymap's sample editor in the manual...

Chapter 5, page 175.

Ah, thanks! It seems this is exactly what is missing in EXS24 (and  
much more).

Here's a suggestion: older samplers (I'm a former Roland sampler  
user) had an alternate loop option, i.e. the lopp is played back  
forward, then backwards, then forward and so on. AFAIK no software  
sampler allows for this, though often a good loop can be achieved  
this way when it's difficult to get a good loop with the standard  
forward-only method. This could be integrated into Keymap. I know  
CDXtract can "unroll" alternate loops in existing samples, but it  
cannot create new ones.

Another comment: browsing through the user's guide I found the  
following sentence: "Keymap is also not a plugin, and you can’t place  
it in a Logic channel strip" (page 5). It's probably not of much  
practical use, but this actually might be possible using Jack:

And, in my very humble opinion, the Keymap user's guide *really*  
needs a table of contents... ;-)

I totally agree with you.
There's a second manual revision coming very soon.
