EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Does anyone know if and how I could set up a logic
environment so that my midi keyboard can trigger
samples on the EXS24II where one keypress will trigger
a sample to play until another key press stops it? 
I basically want to set up a system where in a live
situation I can trigger loops to play continuously
without having to use masking tape to hold the keys
down. 
Does that make sense or am I talking gibberish? 

Many thanks 


JF

Doable, but somewhat tricky.  Pass the note-on and filter the 
note-off, then remember which note is being played, and as soon as 
the next note arrives, send a note-off for the currently playing 
note, and pass the new note-on, filter the note-off, etc...  Some 
time again I made something similar for someone.  I'll have a look 
and see if I can dig it up...

Hmmm, couldn't you just use TouchTracks for this?

Set up a monophonic group for each loop and assign a dummy zone (with no 
sample) to the same group to be use as the loop's mute key. So each group 
would have a loop and an associated dummy key for muting. If you want one 
loop to cancel out another, simply assign multiple loops to a monophonic 
group.

BTW - To allow the loops to uh.... loop, you can apply Hold as a destination in 
the mod matrix with Key as the source. This will allow the loops to "Latch" or 
continue indefinitely. It seems that you do have to assign a sample to the 
dummy zone so, I would suggest a HH or something similar and just attenuate 
the volume so it is not heard.
