I received my Xtreme Analog in the meantime so now I can say more.
The basic waveforms are very good and in most cases very fat because they
were sampled from heavy layers. A lot of sounds can't even be played in
chords... The EXS24 filter is very good and powerful. It has a nice
selfoscilation and adding drive gives it even more personality. But is
doesn't clone an analog (modelled) filter! It has a character of it's own.
EXS24 + Xtreme Analog is to me a sort of interesting hybrid instrument with
beautiful sounds. However my Pro52 isn't out of business at all!
Also there's the *big* difference in CPU hunger. When playing comparable
voices with Pro52 only 20% of the CPU is used compared to EXS24 with Xtreme
Analog.

No, the filter is used to obtain this. It's good enough to do that and also
more natural with more different nuances. It would take a lot of layers to
do the same with velocity switches. They layers are used to combine
different sounds for even fatter results.

Conclusion:
- When you want beautiful 'analog' sounds with a special character and you
have a fast CPU, go for Xtreme Analog. It's really a quality product!
- When you want to go vintage analog in the first place, Pro52 or Mercury
One (also a lot of CPU needed) come closer.
