Logic Express, Suggestions, Want to use Logic Express w/ Mbox Options

[td3k]

Can anyone tell me if you can import your own samples into the ESX24 in LE, or are you limited to pre-made ESX24 librarys? Also, has anyone used it with an Mbox? I am looking to use it on an iBook 900 G3 w/ 512 as a slave to ProTools LE on a Desktop G4. Mostly to host virtual instruments and samples and do some sequence programming. ( I guess I could also use the mBox to record into Logic if I wanted.) If I can rewire slave my Digidesign Ableton into it, would also be nice. Are the features in the Express version adequite vs. the Pro. Particulary the sampler and plugs. At the educational price, Logic Express is starting to look pretty good.

Thanks,

TD
