Next Instrument Looping
2002-08-25 by exsmailinglist
Greetings, I am a long time lurker of this list, trying out your awesome suggeston, but running into problems. Just tried setting up the "next instrument" loop in EXS to convert a bunch of .gig samples for the first time. I set up the notes C1 for prev exs inst, and D1 for next exs inst. Everytime --I-- press D1 it goes to the next patch just fine, but when I record a small sequence with D1 in it, and loop it, EXS plays the note D1. It never goes to the next patch. This is in 5.2 for Windows. Is this looping trick only available for Macs? Or was this trick broken in 5.2? Since I am on Windows and can use EXS Manager I have never had a need to do this before, so I'm not sure if this worked in 5.1.3 etc or not for me. The sequence with D1 in it, is placed on the Audio Inst 1 track, which is where I have the only copy of EXS instanciated. The AudioInst is set to "Midi Ch: ALL". Do I need to record D1 to a MIDI track and cable that to the AudioInst 1 track or something? I will try doing so now but I would appreciate any help you are willing to give on this matter. I can always sit here and hit D1 over and over and over again but I have better things to do if possible. Best regards!!! Thomas
