EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

from the Emagic website:

Logic Audio extension for TDM systems.

ESB TDM allows the integration of up to 32 EXS24 units in the Aux 
channels of the TDM mixer. EXS24 outputs can be processed entirely 
within the Logic Audio Platinum MacOS TDM environment, using the 
ProTools DSP. Playback timing is sample accurate. The output of 
Logic's audio engine, including native and VST plug-ins, can be fed 
into the TDM mixer. ESB TDM provides the user with an unprecedented 
amount of control over system resources by combining the best of both 
native and hardware DSP processing.

The ESB TDM expands on Digidesign's DirectConnect technology and 
further demonstrates Emagic's commitment to the TDM platform.
DirectConnect is a registered trademark of Avid Technoloy, Inc., or 
its subsidiaries or divisions.

This will create quite a few jealous PT users.

They claim shipping in May.
