Seriously, when it comes to drums, I highly recommend getting something in addition to the EXS. Battery 2 right now might be your best bet. I find drum mapping (especially velocity mapping) to be a way too laborious experience in the EXS, and as the import function is only covering a few, rather old-ish formats (which more than often enough aren't imported properly, too), you won't have much luck with existing libraries either. So, to make use of the latter, you've got three choices: - Go through the remapping nightmares. - Buy a translator tool, such as CDxtract or Translator (having one of them might be a more or less something like a must one day...). - Buy a dedicated drum sampler. If programming drums is one of the main things you're concerned about (it certainly is for me), I'd go for the last option. I simply couldn't live without a dedicated drum sampler anymore. - Sascha

Does anyone know of accurate sounding Wurlitzer electric piano samples? (As opposed to the EVP88 "Wurlitzer" patch or the like). Thanks, Michael A. Levine www.MichaelLevineMusic.com

To be honest, I never used any TDM system, so I can't tell you anything about that. They're running fairly stable as AUs on the university's G5s (which I am sort of maintaining) though. > What¹s your system setup? My private setup is still based on a Windows machine, mainly running Logic 5.5.1 (and I'm happy with it, too). Regards, Sascha

That might be true for HTDM/RTAS versions (I'm native now), but in Logic wouldn't you be using them routed into ESB-TDM? If so, they will be running native just like any other AU, no? Btw, I'd also recommend Battery 2 for drums and single-hit samples with individual settings. Glenn

I'm wrong, that's great news however I looked around on the sonicimplants site and there's only 3 files for the exs24 and in the soundfont category there are a couple of files I'm interested in but they have the .exe extension. Sorry for the confusion here because this thread started out about the wurli and I'm confused about this because a while back I found this site with the wurli and rhodes in soundfonts and have now lost that link but was sure it was the same product. It also was in soundfont format and would not work for Mac. I know how confused this sounds but that's because I'm confused. I also think the wurli was a free download or at least not too expensive. Maybe it is the same guy and his product is now commercial. The whole subject of soundfonts drives me crazy as I have some that work perfectly and others that won't even open with sfArkXT for Mac. Thanks Wayne

Hi folks, As of lately there's been quite some discussion about drums, so I thought I'd post this here. Some very kind soul named Salvador Pelaez has made two drumkits available for free. They're in HALion format but I'm almost done mapping the first kit for the EXS (manually, *sigh*...), will post it in a bit. But, as you need the original samples anyways, I recommend getting them allready. Here's the link: http://audioshots.com/auditorium/viewtopic.php?t&41&postdays=0&p ostorder=asc&start=0 You will most likely have to register, but Spe3d/Peter (the dude running the site) is a top bloke and you will never be harassed with spam or whatever. Registering is as painless as it gets, too. Plus, you may find some other gems up there as well. And you can even share your music there, if that's what you're into. As said, I'm gonna post the first EXS version later on. Regards, Sascha

I used Kontact a bit ago under TDM and while it worked on paper and I met my deadline, at the end of the day I didn't find it to be very stable at all and probably would be hard pressed to install it again.

The EXS mapping for the first kit is uploaded. Same link as before. - Sascha

Thanks Sascha. michael On 27/09/2005, at 6:42 AM, Sascha Franck wrote: > The EXS mapping for the first kit is uploaded. Same link as before.

Hi chaps, There appears to be an issue with the amount/Max no' of EXS instruments allowed in your EXS instruments folder. I am still on Logic 6 but could anyone shed any light on this: Strangely enough they appear in the EXS drop-down menu list within Logic but do not allow selection from this list. My Sampler instrument collection appears to be too much for Logic..??? Thanks in advance for any light shed.. Sam

I have a light shed in the back of my house. It's a little house built for putting in riding lawn mowers and such, I put a bunch of lights in there for storage and now I call it my light shed. j/k Yeah, it's around 32,767 items that can be put in there. I'm not sure if that includes .exs files and folder or just .exs files. I know people that hit this limit and they've set up a shuttling system where they have 6-8 "sets" that they pull in and out via aliases. Garth Hjelte Sampler User

I also had to change the outputs back to "Main" because I only have two outs in my MBox. Question? Do the names also have to be edited in the .exs file? Also, should the sample folders be placed in a certain way? I got cymbals only for a while but then placed the "Drum kit 1" folder on the main directory but now I get nothing. Sorry to be a pain after all your efforts. Thanks Wayne

B) You can use the imdividual outs inside Logic, routing them into Aux objects (for the outs to appear in the Aux objects input selector you simply have to load the EXS as a multiout insttrument). That way you got individual (internal) audio channels/faders for each of the individual instruments! > Question? Do the names also have to be edited in the .exs file? No. > Also, should the sample folders be placed in a certain way? I got > cymbals only for a while but then placed the "Drum kit 1" folder on > the main directory but now I get nothing. Sorry to be a pain after all > your efforts. It *should* work like this: Place the samples *anywhere* (beside your other EXS samples or whatever), rename the ones with more than 31 characters accorinf to my descriptions, now load the patch into the EXS. It should find them automatically after a while. I'm sorry, can't recreate any Mac related here as I'm using 5.5.1/PC. Will try things out on the conservatory's Macs one day, but right now they're both used. Regards, Sascha
