I'm looking at getting the EXS 24 for my new logic/mac setup. I currently use an Emu Ultra 6400 sampler. I have some patches on the emu setup to cross fade between other patches via midi CC from a pedal....these 'other patches' themselves are velocity cross-faded. For example, I have four vocal patches crossfaded (not switched, but crossfaded) on one patch, and moving the pedal sweeps between these 4 patches. I alternately use the pedal to send patch change commands to a single midi channel...this allows me to switch between 4-5 patches in real time with the foot pedal. Can the EXS handle anything like these two scenarios? Can you think of any way it could come close? Thanks, Stephen

I do not recommend use of the EXS for this kind of the thing. Only premium setups have a low enough latency on MIDI input. Most users do experience latency on input (output of course is sample-accurate). Sounds like a live application. Stick with hardware if this is a serious part of your live show. If you're only concerned about performance on playback, I'm sure you can do something along these lines in Logic (don't think velocity-controlled crossfades between patches will happen though). It's the mention of the words "foot pedal" that raised an alarm in my head. This software is not intended for that kind of application. -Jer > From: dakshah@... > Reply-To: exs-users@yahoogroups.com > Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 21:34:40 -0000 > To: exs-users@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [exs] Cross-fade / patch change capabilities? > > I'm looking at getting the EXS 24 for my new logic/mac setup.

Does anyone have a G4 Mac that has errors converting Akai samples? I have tried to convert from many different Akai CD's and am continuously getting errors. The errors take the form of chunks of one side of a stereo sample missing. I've tried to convert from many different CD drives and get the same problem. However these missing chunks are never in the same place......

Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the exs-users group. File : /Apple CDDVD Treiber 1.3.9.sit Uploaded by : joeri@... Description : Apple CDDVD Driver 1.3.9 (German) You can access this file at the URL http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exs-users/files/Apple%20CDDVD%20Treiber%201.3. 9.sit To learn more about file sharing for your group, please visit http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/files Regards, joeri@...

Problem: EXS's AKAI conversion is not able to recognize AKAI CD's with an additional audio partition. This problem occurs with MacOS system 9.1 or later. All the specific AKAI data on such CD's is simply hidden to the EXS's AKAI conversion. This behaviour is caused by a system extension called "Apple CD/DVD driver" with version number 1.4. Using an older version of this extension, e.g. 1.3.9 (the one that comes with MacOS 9.04) fixes the problem. Please note: the name of the exenstion may be different on non-english MacOS systems. PS included, you'll find a link where you can download the german version of the extension "Apple CD/DVD driver" 1.3.9. It may also work on non-german systems.

Hi... I need to trigger some bass drum samples (within the EXS24 hopefully) from a convential Logic audio track (wave file) of a kick drum. Is this possible within Logic? Does it need to use a CV Gate or similiar. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Harvey Mann

ill say it one more time... asking a person like me to ignore something is like saying dont touch that big red button which has "DO NOT TOUCH" written on it..... andy "you dont have to be mad to work here but if youre not ill kill you"

Hi gang, There's a new loop for EXS24 for download over at Spectrasonics..... Regards - Colin

Dear Daniel Thanks very much for you help. Everything is perfect now.

Good link! I have high regard for Spectrasonics. Eric Persing was a major programmer for Roland and you just have to listen to any of their groove control discs to gain instant respect. Obviously he likes the EXS24 - judging from the monthly loop in EXS format among others. Happy sampling Colin

Murray, Go to www.spectrasonics.net I don't remember the subdirectories, but go into the 'Tune In' section, and you're there. on 6/5/01 6:23 AM, Murray McDowall at murraymc@... wrote: > At 03:21 PM 5/06/01 +0200, Colin wrote: > >> Obviously he likes the EXS24 - judging from the monthly loop in EXS >> format among others. > > I couldn't find the latest one on the site.

> There's a new loop for EXS24 for download over at Spectrasonics..... Colin, I saw that a few months ago and grabbed one, hoping to test it with an EXS demo. Well, I just bought the EXS about 5 days ago (LOVE IT!). Do you (or anyone else) have any idea where to find the "back issues" of Tune In? Did anyone keep these files? Scott

Hi Scott, Colin and EXS users group, Glad you've dicovered our hidden free sound of the month in EXS format. (..and thanks for the kind words). There is purposely no "back issues" of the monthly sounds posted on our site. The point being that it is something special that you have to "Tune In" each month to check out. It is not legally allowed to repost or copy these files. Someday we may release a full length product that contains all of the back issues of the Tune In page, but for now it's just a special once a month thing. We admit that this is a terribly nasty marketing ploy to get you to tune in to our web site each month. But hey....it's free after all...not such a bad deal! The Tune In page lets us release loops that are outtakes, special unique sounds and in progress things we are working on. It also allows us a way to demonstrate the powerful Groove Control aspect of our libraries online, without giving away loops from the actual full length products. We ask that everyone please respect our limitation of reposting and trading these sounds. If it gets abused, we'll have to stop it. Since it takes us years to develop and release our full length products, we'd like to continue having this special once-a-month free "micro product" that keeps people aware of what we are up to. Thanks! Best regards, Eric Persing Creative Director Spectrasonics

> We ask that everyone please respect our limitation of reposting and trading > these sounds. Eric, No problem. I have nothing but respect for the work you do, and will be happy to honor your request. After I posted the message, I downloaded June's .exs and read the 'READ ME'. Oops. It says right there "Please do NOT repost or copy these files". Sorry. Thanks for the great libraries! Let's see, I own DR 1+2, Liquid Grooves, Asia, Retro Funk, Ethno-Techno...every one of them is SUPERB! No...better than superb, INSPIRING. Scott

Hi all, I would like to test those sounds :o)) Where it is ?? Igor

Hi fellow users, [I'm using LAM 4.7 and EXS24] I recently bought exs24 and imported a number of akai and samplecell format samples and programs. I notice that they import well and so was excited to think I might be able to use Logic and EXS24 as a live performance instrument, but now that I see how it works I wonder if this is going to be reliable? I have found out that I can change AUDIO INSTRUMENTS by sending program changes from my controller to a switcher which is then connected to the various AUDIO INSTRUMENTS, but the newly selected instrument will only sound if the sequencer is running. Has anybody found a way to change AUDIO INSTRUMENTS with the sequencer stopped? (I realize that I could grab a mouse and change the current track in the ARRANGE page, but this in not workable in performance.) John
