I just got a new G5 and installed Logic, downloaded the new 6.2.1 version for it and everything is great but I can not get EXS24mkII to recognize or connect to the factory samples that I have loaded into the Sampler Instuments folder. I remember going through this when I updated the last time and it had something to do with the way the folder or the application was named. Nothing I have tried so far has worked. Can somebody offer some advice on what needs done to fix this. Unfortunately the manual which came with the original EXS24 does not offer any suggestions and neither could I find anything on Emagic's site.

AFAIK, 6.1.1 is the latest version of Logic able to run on OS 9.2.2. v. 6.2 and up has been OS X only so far. -- Eli Krantzberg Nightshift Orchestra / Almat Productions http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com

Mats Helgesson -- a rather generous swedish guy has recorded and packaged some quite impressive samples which are available for free on his site. http://exce.ath.cx/~route909/download.html Most are available for download in the sf2 format -- these are in SFPack archives which means Mac users will need to find an SFPack decompression tool if they don't have access to a PC. There are some quite decent drum kits -- close mic and room mic kits and a clarinet with various articulations. The piano is in gig format and has five velocity levels. To quote the readme is a"sampled reproduction of a Yamaha CF-3 grand piano from the early 90s. It was chromatically sampled, to maintain the tempered tuning." It is a very pleasing instrument and well worth downloading IMHO -- I prefer it to some of my other commercially released piano sample sets. It is now uploaded as a 337 rar archive and also as a 616 MB zip archive. Regards, Murray

What PC do you use for Giga ? If you have a diagram of your installation, I would love it, because I cannot yet figure out how is your setup. How reliable is Giga on PC ? How many crashes a day or a week ? Thanks in advance. Best regards Cyril Blanc France If you want to be sure I read your answer leave my name in it ! Spam mails are directly going to trash

I've got a copy of the EXS already but I want to run a copy on my powerbook as well, is there anyway of doing this without having to buy another copy exclusively for the PBook? also I'm not interested in using a crack to get round this. pete diggs. _________________________________________________________________ Find a cheaper internet access deal - choose one to suit you. http://www.msn.co.uk/internetaccess

The simple way is to take your dongle (assuming you use Logic 6.x) and swap it between the 2 computers. The dongle is really what carries the licence. Apart from that, maybe you could ask your local Emagic agent if there is a special licence that allows you to do this. Regards - Colin

From: Cyril Blanc <blanc.cyril@...> >What PC do you use for Giga ? As mainstream a machine as possible: P4 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP, motherboard with Intel chipset. I bought it only for this purpose - my first Windows machine - and I plan on adding another one in the near future, depending on how things shake out with the G5s (which can access 8GB of memory, making the prospect of having it all on a single machine theoretically possible). I'd be happy to give you more details off the list if you're really serious about taking the leap of faith. > If you have a diagram of your installation, I >would love it, because I cannot yet figure out how is your setup. I have a somewhat roundabout system, but this part of it is very simple. The Giga machine is simply an external sound module, with the eight TDIFs on its soundcard (a Tascam-branded PCI-822) going into the same digital mixer my Pro Tools audio interface is in. So I monitor the Giga outputs through the mixer, and then bus them into Pro Tools when I'm ready to mix. I also have the VSL Orchestral Cube in EXS format (on my main Mac), so the library is running on both machines. Oh, and for clocking, I have a MOTU Digital Timepiece feeding word clock to the mixer, Superclock to the Pro Tools system, S/PDIF to the Tascam PCI-822...and also ADAT sync to my mobile PowerBook rig, which is a MOTU 828 Firewire interface. >How reliable is Giga on PC ? How many crashes a day or a week ? >Thanks in advance. It's 100% reliable. I leave the computer on and loaded, and it never crashes. But you have to get the right hardware, or this won't be your experience. -- Nick Batzdorf 818/905-9101, cell 590-9101, fax 905-5434

Hi, I´ve got problems at the converted LargeString Esp of the Kirk Hunter Virtuoso Strings: At some notes, you hear 2 different pitched sounds and "clicks"… I´ve converted with the internal EXS Converter… Does CDExtract "manipulate" the sound? Anyone help?? Best Chris

I've got the E-mu version and converted it using Translator. I've found that the exs converter at times gets the loop points incorrect and those are the clicks that you hear. This used to happen with earlier versions of both Translator and CDXtract (although not as much as with the exs converter). The most recent versions of both of those programs are much better. As for the different pitches, I have no idea. Have you tried checking to see if any of the zones are have their tuning adjusted? In regards to clicks, if it is at the beginning of the sample, change the start point of the sample by a few samples (start with a small number like 15 and go up from there). If it is in the loop, then the loop points are messed up. HTH, Fernstudio

Hi All, Subject pretty much says it all. I have heard rumors that Emagic / Apple kind of bent the rules as far as the AU spec goes. Not really sure what that means other than it seems at the current state of things an AU plug/app is not really the universally compatible format that we had all hoped for. (yet?) I have heard that the EXSP AU will not work w/ DP. Any info to the contrary? Steve

I had the same problem too, but I have cleaned some of my ESX lib. But the instrument setting I have lost where still there ! This is very strange, they may be a bug somwhere !

Hi all, I have trouble with finding some sample-sounds of (non classic) trumpet, trombones and saxes. Most of the cd's I see, seem to be full of (user ready..my God..) riffs, which I don't want. I want the tones themselves. With and without scoops, fall offs, different dynamics, sforzati and so on. I also want seperated sounds of these instruments, not mixed. I can do that myself. So no trumpet and tenor sax together. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or better, does anyone know a place to download.

Hi, Steve Morrell wrote: > I have heard rumors that Emagic / Apple kind of bent the rules as far as > the AU spec goes. What do you mean by "Emagic/Apple"..? Considering that EXSP came out _before_ the Apple buyout, I think you mean "Emagic". The Apple Core Audio developers are putting together an AU validation tool, so it will be interesting to see how well both the EXSP24 and EVP73 do in the test (rumour has it: not good :-( > Not really sure what that means other than it seems at the current state > of things an AU plug/app is not really the universally compatible format > that we had all hoped for. (yet?) Its still a growing format, and certainly for the early adopters (Emagic included) there were/are misinterpretations of how an AU should behave. Over time these will be resolved, especially as more and better documentation becomes available. As for the future, things are looking like being a hell of a lot of fun!!! > I have heard that the EXSP AU will not work w/ DP. Any info to the > contrary? I've tried both EVP73 and EXSP24 in SynthTest without success--GUI appears, but no audio output. I gather this is common.
