EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

How do you set up a sampler for multiple outs ? So you can say send a kick or 
snare to indiviual outs. Of course the manual says nothing about it. At least 
the EXS one . I'm using Logic 5.2.
Thanks

First, you need to use a Multi Channel version of the EXS24 or whatever sampler
you are using. 

If it is the EXS24:
Associate your samples with groups eg Snare, Kick, Hats etc. 
Then pick suitable outputs for your groups -- if your samples are stereo choose
stereo pairs. 
I use a standard set for all my multi out kits of stereo samples:
Kick -- Main Outs,
Snare -- 3-4
Hats     5-6 
Toms   7-8
Cymbals 9 -10
Percussion 11-12
etc 

Then -- no matter what multi-out capable sampler you are using:

Set up some AUX objects in the Audio Environment -- make a set of stereo ones
if your samples are stereo and have some mono ones for mono samples. Then
choose the outputs of your multi-channel instance of the EXS24 as inputs for
the Aux objects. So for my set -- AUX 1 gets outputs 3-4 from the EXS24 MC ,
Aux 2 gets outputs 5-6 from the EXS24 MC and so on.

This is a tedious process to do over and over so the easy way is to do it once
and save the song as a template for tunes where you will use multi-out drums
and name your AUX objects -- eg Hats, Snare so you know what is what in the
mixer.
