Sascha, there is no problem, in Logic 7 it works exactly like you describe it. I used ExsManager and it works also. Perhaps of interest for people with ExsManager: If you don't rename the samples, ExsManager will not take them and shorten the names on its own. You get an error which looks like the samples or the instrument are not working. But just believe what Sacha said and rename the files. Then everything is ok. If Andrea Gozzi is listening here: Maybe you find the time to check ExsManager with sample names longer than 31 characters? So far I have seen it does not correctly react to that. ___ Peter Ostry

I've tried everything including directing the project manager. The very first time I load it, I do get the hats but that's it. The next time... nothing. Next I took all the samples out of their individual folders and placed them all in the "Drums 1" folder. Nothing. I've got tons of other instruments and drums in the exs and have never had a problem like this. I tried stereo and multi. I don't think I missed any of the files that needed a name change and followed your instructions carefully. If there are any other Mac guys out there (and I'm on Logic Pro 6.4.3.) that have downloaded the drums and have no problems please let me know. Thanks Wayne

All is working fine and my mistake was that while removing the -AAX from the files in the hats-2 folder I also removed it from the... HHats-CL-V01-SABIAN-AAX.wav and this was the problem. After double checking all the files, this was the problem. Hope this also helps some other idiot as well. Thanks again Sascha and I'll be looking forward to possible future maps to drums 2 and the extra symbal perfomances if you are so inclined. Egg on his face.. Wayne

The EXS mapping for kit #2 is done. No sample renaming required this time. http://audioshots.com/auditorium/viewtopic.php?p 246#20246 Cheers, Sascha

Forgot to copy the open hat zones, uploaded a corrected file. Same link as before. - Sascha

Greetings, Though I've had logic for years, I've only started making use of EXS recently, thanks to my new G5. Out of curiousity, are their any sources of free online samples for EXS? Any "mother lodes" I should be aware of? Thanks, -Mark

Just wondering if any TDM users of Logic have tested if streaming string samples from a TDM EXS is any more or less CPU or disk I/O intensive than running the exact same thing in Native. My brief tests over the last few days have the native version handling tasks better. Come to think of it does anyone know if VM actually works on the TDM version? I mean it's there in in the prefs but does it actually work? Phil Buckle.

Thanks Alain!

Don't forget the EXS will import soundfonts as well. A good place to start looking for them: www.hammersound.net - has gazillions. - Sascha

Finally switching back to logic after too many problems with too many other software companies. I'm looking to fill out my instrument and sample library so I was hoping someone could post a list or link to the list of instruments that come packaged with Logic. Also any reccommendations as to sample libraries I should consider purchasing would be appreciated.

When we insert EXS into a TDM auxiliary track, it is still running native EXS, not running on the TDM chips. The output is still transferred to the TDM mixer by ESB, though not limited to the 8 ESB buses used to transfer the other native instruments. In my tests, I have not seen any difference in how EXS performs whether it¹s in a TDM AUX object or a DTDM Audio Instrument object. I don¹t know the answers to your specific questions about the workings of VM with EXS. * Dave

Thanks, JP

The patchname stays the same, only the samples have to be renamed. You don't know how to rename filenames on a Mac? Using a PC I don't know either, but I'm sure it's easy to find out... Personally, I'm using a batch renaming tool, makes things easier. Again I'm sure there's something like that for Macs as well. I mean, hey, they "just work"... - Sascha

On a Mac click the file name once, wait a second, then click it once again. It will then highlight and you can rename it. -Mark

I just remembered that there were 2 choices: A "preferred" one and a "mirrored" one. The preferred ian't working out so I'm in the process of downloading the "mirrored" one. What's the difference?

What's the difference? There's no difference, it's just two different download occasions to take away some server load. Simply make sure to rename the samples as described in my little ReadMe. - Sascha

Well I must be doing something wrong here because when I download (Mac 10.4.2) from either server, it takes over 20 minutes, and it mounts as a 181 mb text file. It opens with text edit and I get pages and pages of printed gibberish but no samples in sight. What have i overlooked this time? Anyone? Thanks, JP

The samples file is in a RAR compressed format, and I don't know a lot about Tiger (I'm still in OS9), but I'm pretty sure you need a utility to decompress that file. Otherwise, your system won't know what to do with it. Have you tried to use UnStuffit - isn't it standard in OSX? If that doesn't work, you could go to a shareware site and look for a RAR utility for OSX.
