EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

OK, so you have to have more than just a bit of pocket change to buy it, 
but... if you're planning to own a piece of the upcoming Vienna Symphonic 
Library, check out this new from their makers:

"Our revolutionary Performance Set in EXS24 mk II format is rapidly being 
finalized as well. Currently we're working together with Emagic to 
implement our Performance Tool with EXS24 mk II. And here's the good news: 
Unlike the GigaStudio version, the EXS Performance Tool will not be a 
stand-alone program. It will be a plug-in directly accessible in EXS24 mk 
II! You'll be able to use all of our astounding tools of expression without 
ever leaving Logic. It will be available for Mac OS 9 and OS X and is 
expected to be ready for download for registered users from our User Area 
by the end of May.


The EXS Performance Tool plug-in will offer the same features as the 
GigaStudio version:

Alternation Mode: As you play in real-time, you step automatically from one 
articulation to the other, without being distracted by having to operate 
key switches.

Legato Mode: For the first time in the history of electronic music it is 
possible to perform naturally fluid and authentic passages like legato, 
portamento or glissando in real-time. Just play without any additional need 
for pedals or key switches!

Repetition Mode: Perform repeated notes without the notorious "machine gun 
effect", with the timing and accents of your choice in real-time!"

Exciting stuff, no?

I wonder if the purchaser of said library could adapt the performance 
tool(s) for use in other sample libraries such as up:down strums of 
guitars.

I recently purchased VSL (EXS24 Format). The Orchestral Cube 
has been delivered and sounds absolutely astounding and 
works flawlessly. The Performance Set and Tool will be arriving 
soon (Time & Space UK approximate 3 weeks) and to be 
honest, I just can't wait. I asked T & S about whether the 
Performance Tool could be used with other libraries and they 
said that it would have to be completely reprogrammed and 
thought it was highly unlikely that it would happen (in the 
immediate future anyway).

Cheers,
