[GEN] Sam horns posed a question...

Saw all the posts and zipped over to the site to download. Awesome sounds. I now have to go back to every song i have and replace all horn sect. with sams trumpet. (This says something about the state of my library, Saving my pennies for VSL.... I wish I had that many pennies! ;-) Anyway, being brand new to logic and the exs something is confusing me. I opened up the exs editor to take a peak at the sample layout... Wow! My biggest patch has maybe a quarter as many zones. I counted 16 layers before my eyes went blurry. My question ( concern) is what are they all for? I dragged the top two over to the right in order to fill out my keyboard (Midiman Keystation) and I was getting Identical sounds as the keys depressed where the full zones were....soo.. the 14 other layers are doing...? I'm guessing varying expressions and phrasings? If so, great! Unfortunately, I don't know how to access them. As I said, still getting my feet wet and when you guys talk about Velocity layers and midi controller numbers I just go numb. Oh, I know I'll get it, but if one (or more!) of you can jump start this phase of my education I would greatly appriciate it.. I have noticed some posts referring to a lack of control info with a giga import. Is this a prob with my scenario? One last question, When the exs does the import it converts the doc into an aiff sample right? Can I then delete the original to free up some drive space? Love the forum Christian
