Message posted by Michael Ruiz <mcruiz@...>: Is it possible to break out the midi note numbers in the percussion tracks to multi-tracks in Logic Pro? What i want to do is process separately the individual drums and cymbals.

Excuse me if I misinterpret your question... If you open the editor of your drum sample (far right top of the sampler) you will see it is broken into groops. The groups are on the left. Open a group and you will see channel outputs for them near the bottom. I cannot recall if you can change the midi, sorry but I am betting you can. To use this as multichannel you must load it into your channel strip from the multi instrument drop down. You can isolate samples or group them together, send them to different mixing channels, sends, buses etc. I send them to aux channels and then group them accordingly in the mixing environment for more control. I hope that helps a little. I am pretty green but I like to do this with a jazz drum kit I have for the EXS.If there were a way to post my autoload song I could just send you that to look at. I've got it all set up for Kontakt and the EXS for multi channel output. Good luck

I'm not in front of my DAW to try this, but what about copying the MIDI to mutiple tracks, assigning them to multiple instances of the EXS, and then using some sort of filtering object in the Environment section to only allow certain note values for each track? I haven't checked the manual to see if the last part is possible, but I'd be interested to know if anyone could verify if such a capability exists. Regards, Lenny

Sorry, but this didn't make it through due to Yahoo telling me my mails were bouncing, so I'm posting it again.
