EXS24 won't appear on an Audio object (channel) You need to use an *Audio Instrument*. You may have an Environment layer specially for these, or they'll be in the Audio objects layer. You can also create one: Maker a new Audio object and go to the parameters. At Channel, select [Instrument] and then one of the Instruments no1-xx. Just under the label I/O is a blank pop-up. (Just above the Output selector) This is where you'll find all of Logic's internal instruments like the EXS24, plus any 3rd party ones you may have installed. You'll see [Mono] and [Stereo] and [Multichannel] In all cases, you can then select [Logic] and then you'll find the EXS24. That should get you going.... Regards - Colin
