I don't think this is about sample naming but about patch naming. Personally, I don't give a damn about sample names (unless I'd like to reuse them), but I DO give a damn about patch names - and admittedly, especially some older AKAI disks are using funny patch names, so you allways need to have the booklet handy to get a clue about wtf is going on with those patches. However, I do it like this: Once I found a patch pleasing me, I simply do a "save instrument as" action and give it a more meaningful name. - Sascha

UGGG > > > Garth Hjelte > Sampler User I was referring (as I believe was the original poster) to instrument names, not sample names. Of course you don't want to change the sample names. That would be a nasty error from which recovery would be quite tedious. As someone mentioned today on this forum, who cares what the sample names are. We rarely come into contact with them on a working day. James

Hello All, I'm considering buying the whole Sam Brass collection(on sale 30% off at East/West) for use on EXS. Is this a complete and functional set as is on EXS or must it be converted from Giga? If so, how much playability is lost in the conversion process. Thanks for the benefit of your experience.

The SAM Brass Multi versions include native EXS, Kontakt and Halion versions. No conversions necessary, and to my knowledge no functionality is lost from the Giga versions.

It seems to take several days to re-link a large amount of EXS instruments with their samples. I do this overnight now, but next morning I want to continue using Logic as usual so the only option to stop this process seems to force quit Logic. I am aware that Redmatica's EXS manager would help there but I'm on OS9. Ideas?

Theoretically, you should be able to interrupt this process with <Command><.> but it doesn't usually work. Rather select smaller folders of instruments for Find Unresolved..... EXS Manager is *HOT* - what takes a whole night in Logic will get done in a few minutes. (Re-consider OSX?) Regards - Colin

Thanks Colin. Certainly consider OSX but too risky to upgrade in the middle of project... Will deal with small folders only for the moment. regards, Dom

hello I recently got exs with logic pro package and I'm lovin' it. I am having a problem with loading some akai samples. I can load akai samples from akai CD-ROM. I am trying to load AKAI sounds from nero, rfl, bin/cue files. I am a mac user, and I do not have PCs. I can run both OS9 and X (G4 dual boot) Thanx Y

Im new to these virtual instuments for I have used outboard gear for the last 7 years.Please bear with me.I have recently moved up to osx panther series and updated to Logic Pro(And recieved the vsti's in the update) from logic Platinum 6.3.1. My problem is that I cant find the factory presets for the Vsti plug- ins for any of the vsti's..They will not show up in the mixer page when I pull down the down arrow(after I have opened them).Question is ,Do I have to drag the factory prestes from Os9 folders to the OsX folder? Kind Regards, Mr.G

Oops. You missed a point - No VST in OSX, just Audio Instrument (AU) type... (don't beat me) You might be able to convert many VST's to AU with a software from FXpansion. I've heard about something which runs as a VST host. But I don't understand this kind of stuff. Peter Ostry

I'm a little late here (having been on vacation the last two weeks), but there's a limit to the number of files Logic can have open. The solution is to use EXSManager's SampleMerge routine to make one file out of lots of them. -- Nick Batzdorf 818/905-9101, cell 590-9101, fax 905-5434

I have EXSP24 and I am getting distortion when I play a note on my keyboard. I have an old Casio CZ-1 running into a Digi 001 into my Mac with Logic Express. Audio works just fine it is only a problem when I use midi and the EXSP24. Looking for help, Jean-Paul

Hi There! since the HollowSun-exs.zip is not available anymore at the Files section, I would like to ask if someone knows where I can download the last available version, or maybe can someone mail it to me? thanx in advance

Tried a few things to fix it but ended up ditching all things Digidesign. *If* I remember correctly, increasing the buffer size alleviated the problem, but at the expense of having an unacceptably long latency time.

Just a Yahoo glitch, give it a couple of hours and try again... michael

I really like Amadeus II, which is a two-track editor with great sonograms and it also seems to compress to MP3 very nicely as well. (Especially at very low bitrates for voice.) It's shareware.

Strictly this is a Logic que, but I got no response from the LUG, maybe someone might be able to help me here - it does involve EXS24. I have VSL opus 1 but regularly run into problems when opening say seven or so tracks with different samples when suddenly the sound goes (midi messages still going through) and when attempting to play back the "error trying to synchronise audio and midi" messgae appears. Is there something obvious I haven't done - seems like a memory problem maybe? Logic 6.4.2 G4 dual 1.42 (2mb L3 cahce per processor) 1GB ram OS 10.3.5 Unitor 8 midi interface and digidesign 001 box Thank you in advance for your help!
