EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello All,

I'm working with some South American Flute samples. I've set them up  
in the EXS and they sound good (these are using POLY mode).

But I also wanted to create an additional folder of the same  
instruments with the MONO button engaged on the front panel of the  
EXS 24. So that a user may get a more realistic playing response  
being as you can really only play one note at a time on a wind  
instrument.

The problem when in MONO mode, there is a unsettling bump or slight  
low end click in the sample upon changing notes on the attack. Even  
slowing down the VCA envelope attack does not really help much.  
Engaging LEGATO mode does not help. Setting up a short glide time  
does not sound good either (it sounds too much like a synth) I've  
done this kind thing in Kontakt 2 without any glitch at the onset of  
the new note occurring at all.

Any suggestions as to how to remedy this in the EXS settings?

Thanks!

Maybe Sample Start needs to be adjusted, also you might try the
"legato" setting instead of the "mono" - I've found some EXS
instruments sound good with one but not the other.

Sorry, you had already tried legato. Didn't read carefully enough...
