Somewhere in this world there is an oboist, male or female preferably, since this is a female instrument to me, although hard to process, recording a solo performance in a studio and with some time left after the recording doing an EXS24 instrument and giving it to us, thank you in advance

There is a set of Oboe samples available free here: http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.Oboe.html they just need to be assembled into EXS instruments kind regards Mark Cahill

Hi..I was wondering if anyone knows if you can create ultrabeat samples with the EXS??They have a ubs. exstension and I haven't found any mention of a way to make your own in the L7 manual..Any body know about if it can be done.Or if it;s a file that can only be made by Apple>Co..T

I do this by accessing the sound via MIDI, bouncing the triggered sound to disk and then editing the sound. A bit of work I suppose but it works. Matt

Thank You for this wonderfull link,Mark Alain Berthe

Hi Matt.I know many formats can be loaded but the ones that come with ultrabeat have the ability to crossfade via velocity..When a wav/aiff/etc file is used you don't get the option to load two samples and velocity switch them..With the ubs files you load ONE and get two samples that are able to be adjusted independently as far as velocity swithching goes..It must be some new format.It's not mentioned in anything I've read so far in the logic7 manual...Thanks..T

Have you tried posting on the Apple/Logic forum? Unfortunately, the manual seems to indicate this can't be done: User-supplied samples loaded into Ultrabeat cannot be separated into velocitydependent layers, and therefore the Vel Layer slider has no effect on samples you have created and imported. If so, this is very user-exclusive and as such....sucks! Regards - Colin

I admit it would make Ultrabeat even more useful if we were able to fill it with our own samples. Or samples from other libraries. I just love the way you can deal with drum sounds in Ultrabeat... but I have cooler sounds than the ones supplied... :-) at least I think so... Cheers Hans

Regarding the MIS samples: Critical stuff IMO. Very tough to loop (and most of the notes aren't sufficiently long enough for any sustained things), some sounds are horribly out of tune too. In addition, on some instruments even the FF notes still aren't louder than -30dB or something (IIRC). Now yes, they seem to be recorded properly - but still, there goes all your bit depth. - Sascha

Steve, Your article hits a few nails lo on the head. Congratulations! In case anyone's interested, the Sound on Sound article I'm referring to is here: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar05/articles/soundingoff.htm Not sure, you may have to be a subscriber. OK, the article isn't specifically about the EXS but it does mention production techniques we can probably all relate to and Steve *is* on this list. Andris

In fact,you¹re right about the usabitlty of this stuff: its pretty poor. I¹ve let myself been impressed by the presentation of the whole thing. But the material looks more like student home work. I checked all the sounds:wouldn¹t make any sample instrument with them. Sorry for any speeded heart!! The Quest must go on!!! Alain

I've been watching the posts about the musical instrument samples at <http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/>; Can you convert these to EXS samples and how? Thanks

Will somebody give us the EXS files to these instruments please, I don't jabe the slightest idea how to produce that document, thanks >http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.html

Hi..I find it obsurd(is that a word>)..That it even has to be put into fiction to be a bravo..Isn't or rather hasn't it allways been about the music??I feel the whole computer thing to be about the truest thing to so called LO-FI as there could ever be. When the technology appears to be able to provide a better product then what occurs naturally it folds back upon itself and reveals the true limitations that are everpresent with all recording processes..That being talent being captured by the talented(think Tom Dowd) And all the other greats of recording..And then there are the great performances captured by less creatives that it had no bearing on.In so much as the moment.although perhaps not near prefect in recording was too great to have even that less then perfect capture tarnish it.I;m guilty of the whole blown away by what I can get for a buck now as opposed to say 15 years ago..Got a bit lost there in wanting and feeling I couldn't move forward or back without the newest tech installed.I'm glad to not be that way anymore(oh at least 93% of the time)..I applaud your work an commitment to the "hollow Sun" project.I have attempted to turn folks onto your site every chance I have gotten..Hope this finds you well and inspired..T

The recording quality is OK it seems, but the performing sucks! It¹s really not worth trying to slice and edit those hundred of files (3.16Gbytes!!!). I¹ll maybe try to do something with the piano files,but without using all the files, wich amount to more than 1Gb for the piano only!! I think my little G4 400MHz would not appreciate Cheers, Alain
