EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

This mail is addressed to Eric since he originally asked a question a while 
back that I believe this post may answer (it may benefit more people though).  
It involved triggering multiple instances of audio instruments (I think exs-
24's) in realtime in Logic to achieve layering of sounds similar to what you 
can do in "performance" mode on many synths.

Now, I cannot take the credit for this if it answers the question but I found 
this post on the Logic TDM list by Laurence Cedar and I believe that it solves 
the problem.  I do not know if this does solve his problem though.  Here is the

I can't remember if the requirement was to be able to play without th sequencer 
playing back or not.  If it solves the problem, perhaps Laurence deserves the 
free CD-Rom.  For me bringing it up here, perhaps I deserve a discount on one ;-
). 

Oh well, I hope that this helps someone at the very least.
