Eric,
Count me as another user that would love to see additional Groove Control
EXS stuff in these genres. Your comments re: big NAMM plans wouldn't have
anything to do with the TBA "Brazilian Beats" (can't remember the exact
name) set that was one of the original 3 GC sets that has kind of
disappeared from sight, would it?
You mentioned having done these things on Roland formats; would they be
something that might get ported/reformatted/updated for the EXS?
Regards,
Shane
