Well, there always just moving it, then letting EXS find the samples as you load them in. make sure EXS is set in Options to look in all volumes. Garth Hjelte Sampler User

I have Sean McCoy's converted EXS instrument files in my lib/app support/logic/sample instruments folder. The .gig files are on my sample drive but they are not converting from there. Do i have to move them into the sampler instrument folder for conversion? It seems like I should be able to have them with my other libraries on my separate sample drive. What am I missing here? Thanks, JP

The samples cannot be read directly from them. Yes, you first have to put them into your sampler instruments folder and then call them up. The act of calling them up from within the exs will convert them to a native recognizable format. Once they are all converted you can trash the .gig files. You won't need them on your HD any more. And if you like, you can trash the newly created Garritan sampler instruments and just use Sean's. -------- Eli Krantzberg http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com Almat Productions

So if I understand you I need to put the .gig files directly in my sampler instrument folder. Then I have to load every single instrument individually into EXS and then I can transfer the newly converted files to my sample drive. I better make a pot of tea. Thanks, JP

Some of the better put together libraries entomb several instruments into each .gig file. So there are fewer but larger files to convert.

Take a quick look through the EXS instruments and see if any of them include "rel" in their filenames. That would be the clue---I could be wrong about this. EXS expands .gig files into a default directory in the Logic Application Support folder called "DLS-Giga Samples," but you can create an alias of this folder to have the expansion directed automatically to the drive and folder of your choice. This will save you the hassle of having to move all the data after expanding. Also, it would be most efficient to expand all the gig files first, then trash all the automatically converted instruments and replace them with the ones we did. If you already have our files in your Sampler Instruments folder some may get overwritten or other confusion may ensue.

You can download it here: http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/ It's an easy to use frag and drop interface for a Unix script that works more reliably than the Finder checkbox. For some reason when you do it with the Finder, the permissions change back sometimes. With BatChMod, they stay put. This little program has solved sticky situations for me many times. - Dave

You know just the audio wav files As long as your instrument files stay in their normal place in the library then logic will look for the corresponding audio files and link up There was something ages ago that said make an alias of yopur libraries new location and put it in the original libraries¹ folder Personally I never have had to do this I have all my Apple loops /BFD modern drummer etc wav files all together and I have called this main folder sample library..Works very well Now if I could only play more accurately!!!

Sean McCoy converted and programmed the entire GOS for EXS users. The files are available here: http://www.garritan.com/GPO-LogicPage.html. Good luck, JP

Instruments that didn't translate well (such as Giga filtered and release programs and those that required both modwheel and key switching) were ignored altogether. Kevin Rix tweaked many of my programs and added several I hadn't gotten to, so the set is pretty complete. Did anyone ever locate the Maestro Tools Environment? Was it on the DVD's? It's required for legato playing, and though I have it, I have no idea where I got it!

Hello, I cannot use some old Wizoo samples that worked fine on Logic Platinum v. 4.7.3 , now I have Logic Pro 7 and I place the samples in the corresponding folder but they canot be used, any idea how to make the work? Thanks

I'm looking for a acoustic guitar multisample that sounds realistic? Is there any out there in exs or soundfont format I can buy? I'm looking at plugsounds vol.2 I believe and soundscan vol. 50. Is there any others out there I should look at? I really want a martin d28 in the future, but that's gonna take ahwile. I'm tired of my presets in my triton right now. Also, tell me if there's any good realistic flute and violin multisamples I can buy? I wish I had the money to get the things I want right now, just gotta do them with samples right now. Can't afford session players, motif, and instruments. DRAW

If the exs instrument can't find them do a scan in project manager or get Redmatica EXS Manager. The exs instruments must be in the right folder.

You might have a look at RealGuitar: http://www.musiclab.com It sounds amazing natural and is built to be controlled by a keyboard. RealGuitar 2.0 comes soon and will add some features but the 1.5 version is great too. > Also, tell me if there's any good realistic flute and violin > multisamples I can buy? A lot, in all price categories. Maybe you are happy with Garritan Personal Orchestra, then you don't have to spend too much money: http://www.garritan.com Dry and wet samples, expression control, individual parameters like panning, variation etc. > I wish I had the money to get the things I want right now...

Check out the Hans Zimmer Guitar vol1: http://www.ilio.com/spectrasonics/hanszimmerguitarsvol1/index.html Unfortunately this disk is in the old Roland or Akai format, but you can easily convert with CDXtract to softsampler formats.

Played with finger vibrato and velocity layered slap so it has a bit more like than most. There is also an Elfolk acoustic with built in amplifier and speaker (really) plus tremelo. Also some flutes which are theoretically quite low fi (downsampled and looped) but actually extremely useable, with and without vibrato. Modwheel crossfades also. -- Pete Thomas www.petethomas.co.uk Logic Tutorials, Hints, Tips, free Icons, Environments EXS Instruments (donationware) ***Please support my trek in the Andes in aid of APEC*** ***info & sponsorship: http://www.justgiving.com/petethomas***

I am sorry if you were cheated and got sold a cracked version with no XS key - I hope not. If it is a cracked version you may find that after a while the tuning goes weird in EXS so if this is the case it's not just an illegal copy, but also a useless piece of software. -- Pete Thomas www.petethomas.co.uk Logic Tutorials, Hints, Tips, free Icons, Environments EXS Instruments (donationware) ***Please support my trek in the Andes in aid of APEC*** ***info & sponsorship: http://www.justgiving.com/petethomas***

Hi, By going Library/Application Support/Logic there is the Sampler Instruments folder. In the Sampler Instruments folder are the sampler instrument library files in exs format. I have no problem loading these into the EXS. Also if going Library/Application Support/Logic there is the EXS Factory Samples folder. And in this folder are different instruments in aiff format than in the Sampler Instruments folder. I cannot load these aiff files into the EXS24 even if I put them into the Sampler Instruments folder. I haven't found any mention of this in the EXS24 mkII chapter of the Pro 7 Plug-in Reference manual although it says that the EXS24 is compatible with AIFF files. Is this possible and if so, how is it accomplished? Thanks for any enlightenment, Jim

Those aiff files are the files that the sampler instruments are reading when you load them in. You don't load aiff files directly into the EXS 24. They are referenced, or "read", by the sampler instruments. That's the way this whole architecture works. -------- Eli Krantzberg http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com Almat Productions
