I.e. insert the EXS in e.g the "Audio Instr 1" channel strip. Then assign the Arrange track to "Audio Instr 1". Very straightforward really. If you want to process base & snare separately you can either use the multi-out version of the EXS (needs LA5.2+, if I remember correctly), or use separate tracks indeed. For multi-out use, insert the EXS as a multi-instrument instead of a stereo instrument. Change the instrument definition in the EXS instrument editor to route different instruments to different outputs -- like snare to out3-4 and base to out5-6. Then set up 2 Aux objects, and pick those EXS outputs as their input. EXS outputs 1-2 will "come out of" the regular EXS channel strip. Outs 3-4 and 5-6 will come out of the 2 Auxes. If you want to use separate tracks, just load 2 more EXS's with the same instrument in e.g. Audio Instr 2&3 and assign those to two Arrange tracks. Copy the EXS drum-sequence and paste it twice on the two new tracks. Now delete anything you don't need from the 3 sets of sequences, or, if you have a recent LA version, use the mute-tool in the Matrix editor to mute the redundant notes. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com
