EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

I found that the 32 zones and groups limit are gone away at least in 6.1,
now I have another huge problem:

Can you please verify if this happens to you too?

Assume I have 4 samples assigned to 4 different groups
The samples play on the whole keyboard
Groups are "clean" apart Select by: (if you can't see it select the item
from the view menu)
Select by is assigned to Midi CC Controller in the 4 Groups
It doesn't matter which Controller number you choose (I say 1 since it's
modulation and it is easy to verify!)
You assign Group 1 to be selected when CC is between 0 and 31
You assign Group 2 to be selected when CC is between 32 and 63
You assign Group 3 to be selected when CC is between 64 and 95
You assign Group 4 to be selected when CC is between 96 and 127

Now if you play a note on the keyboard you should hear the sample assigned
to the group with CC 0-31

What happens is that you can only switch between two samples (or groups
which is more appropriate) for every CC.

What you were supposed to have was to switch between the 4 (or 8, or 16 or
whatever) groups (with assigned samples)... this doesn't happen and makes me
feeling very bad...

Every other *+#> soft sampler from the competition can do this easily
(Halion, kontakt, Gigastudio and I bet MachFive too)...

Problem is that I am a Logic user and I want to develop my library mainly
for EXS then for the other formats... this way I won't be able to deliver it
for EXS...

Can you please verify this for me? If you encounter the same problems as I,
can you please send tons of email to Emagic telling them about this problem?

I love Emagic but it's a love and hate thing lately... more and more...

Best regards,

I velocity switch between more than 2 groups all the time.

I meant Midi Continuous Controller switching... velocity switch is ok.

Thanks for your help,

but I got it figured out.

What was supposed to work (Midi CC switching between up to more than two
groups at a time) is actually working but I found a bug:

while programming in OSX and Logic 6.1, I copied 3 groups by mistake (the
ones with the Midi CC switching) and I erased them; after that they remained
in the pop up group list (you find it in the zones section) and Midi CC
groups switching didn't work anymore on more than two groups... even
creating a new instrument didn't solve the problem when the old instrument
was still in memory...

Solution: I selected the zone with Midi CC switching, did Cut operation and
Paste right after it: everything was working again...

Now I live in happy EXS programming world (even though it's still an hassle
to program related to the other samplers...)

Thanks again,
