EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to load the same sample into an
EXS instrument more than once so, for example, I can have a Hi-Hat
sample triggered from two different keys..?

At the moment, once I load a sample it's filename disappears from the
browser so it cannot be loaded again into another zone.  Is there a
workaround for this..?

I know I can disable pitch and set the keyrange for the keys I need,
but this is not practical if I want to use black keys for the hats and
white keys for something else.

Cheers,  Andy M

Just guessing but try copy/ paste of the sample zone you want. It  
should paste back onto the same key range but then you can move it?

Yes. Actually there's two workarounds.
 
1) Switch off "filter used" in the EXS' file loading dialog and you'll
see all the samples you're using already.

2) Copy the zone already using the sample. The usual copy/paste
commands are working just fine. I would also set up a keycommand for
"move zones left/right with root key", so you can instantly move the
copied zone in order to avoid later confusion. I'm using Ctrl +
(left/right) Arrows and it suits me fine.
