Dear Logic Pro 7 Users, Please forgive me if this topic has been covered many times before but if anyone can help you learned folk can. I recently upgraded to Logic Pro 7 from 6.34. I have some Halion 2 programs and I just wandered if they can be converted to be used in the EXS24. I've searched the net for answers but have so far far come up with nothing. Any words of wisdom gratefully received. best wishes, Damon London, UK

I have a large Halion library but have now dumped Cubase and moved to Logic Pro and EXS. I can convert from my original Akai discs except my orginal sample sets and Halion Strings. Is it possible to convert from Halion to EXS?

Damon and Colin: It's possible, but not on the EXS itself. You can convert from HALion for to EXS on the PC version of Translator (www.chickensys.com) currently; a Mac implementation is due out shortly. Garth Hjelte Sampler User

I see the program change actually appear in the Transport, so I know they are hitting logic. I checked to make sure they aren't being blocked by the filter preference, but there's no result. The program doesn't change like it once did (like in V-Station for example). There's got to be something somewhere in Logic that is screwing this up now. Any suggestions?

Update: I've spent the last couple hours driving myself nuts about this, but I've learned a few things. It's not the USB driver of the controlling keyboard; it's not my Autoload file; and it is not my preference files. I'm reduced to thinking either Apple screwed up Logic in regards to external program changes in the last couple versions, the program changes really aren't getting through, or they are getting through and they aren't allowed to control changes in Logic by default (and I just can't find the switch). I swear on whatever is important to you that this was working around version 7.1. I'm stumped. I've looked at every preference option as far as I can think of. My only final thought is there's some switch in the arrange window or environment that I've overlooked. I'm going mad, I tell you, mad!

One more think that I've noticed. Program changes do not affect external midi hardware either. Also, when I play a note, it appears on both the input and output of the tranport midi readout. But when I send a program change, it only appears on the input readout and not on the output. So, it seems clear to me that Logic is receiving the program change but doesn't want to send it to the active track, whether it be a software instrument or my external hardware Supernova. So, Logic, what are you doing with my poor program change commands? Anyone have any idea?

Sorry folks, the solution is here (I am kulturshok there): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=615284&tstart=0

I have some great beats & breaks that are in Reason Refils that I want to use in Logic via the EXS. I have done this with other Rex Files that were not packaged in Refills, but is there anyway to do it with Rex Files that are in Refills without using Rewire. i have a mac, so refill extract (which is apparently only for PC) won't do me any good. Unless i went through the hassle of extracting the files on a PC then burning to CD then importing to my computer. But even if I do this will I run into any PC-MAC compatibility issues?

Whenever I use the mod wheel to access volume or crossfade layers, I get that "zipper" sound...very unstable and not smooth. Is there any way of getting rid of this? I suspect that it's because the midi date needs to be thinned out. But I don't know where to do that. And if there is some way of doing this, can it be saved to the instrument itself, or is it a Logic preference? Thanks, Kirk

Hi, I downloaded the Rex converter from the Propellerhead library but have no idea how to use it? Anyone? Thanks! Bradley Fish www.bradleyfish.com

Dont think there is any easy way to grab them and use them as REX files in another sequencer unless you could load the Refill into Dr Rex and maybe export each individual REX file.. The REX Converter mentioned I believe is to rectify a problem dropping old REX files into a particular version of Logic Pro.. -- Chris http://www.monotrematamusic.com http://www.myspace.com/monotremata http://www.descentrecords.com

I >did a search there for "REX converter" and found nothing. You can't use the Refills with EXS, they (meaning the samples) can't be extracted out nor referenced using EXS. There is a rumor of a Refill extractor and I've seen it, but it's PC only and it doesn't work too well anyway. I've never seen it nor experienced it to work at all. I won't give out the link since it is not PHead's intention that Refills be extractable, plus it would screw up certain people's copy protection scheme. Garth Hjelte Sampler User

Hey guys I'm getting this question alot so :) The Direct Download version of the libraries are exactly the same as the ones we ship on DVD :) > > Kindly > Franky > Vintaudio > www.vintaudio.com >

It only takes about as long to do as it does to type this, though it sounds really complicated. I had a (cracked) version of Reason I used only for that purpose. Then I felt guilty about having a cracked version of anything and deleted the program.

I bought the EXS24 version of Clean Guitars yesterday and I am very pleased with them.

I was at Kirk's studio yesterday pklaying this and all I can say is "Wow!". It sounds great in the cpu efficent EXS24 and Kirk has added a lot from his upcoiming Ruby library. At these prices any EXS24 user should have this library. http://www.kirkhunterstudios.com/khsogigaork2.html

Jay, How wet/dry is this product? Some of the demos I've heard are so over processed that it's hard to tell. With regard to ambience, would you say that this KH product is dry like VSL? As wet as EWQLSO Gold? I realize that this is hard to describe, but please try. I'm definitely interested. Thanks, -Mark

The samples were recorded in a "FAR" position but have to trailing reverb apart from a little on pizz and staccato sounds. Otherwise you can safely put your own reverb on it. The demo I did had some tweaking done by Kirk. I would have done it differently however so I can see where it might be hard to tell. Thanks, Chris Caouette www.chriscaouette.com

Chris beat me to it! (Nice demo, btw, Chris.) Yes, wetter than VSL, dryer than EWQL which IMHO makes it a great library either by itself or to blend with others.

Although I own EWQLSO and VSL I'm always looking for something else to add to the mix but it just didnt grab me. The IDEA is totally awesome though, a light processor weight orchestral library for the EXs24 that is cost effective and (more or less) complete. -Terry Michael Huud www.Music4TheMovies.com

Hi Terry How do you like EWQLSO and VSL? Do you prefer one or the other? How are they on the processor load, do you use multiple computers or run all in one box? Thanks! - Dave David Gordon Composer/Producer Sequoia Records http://www.sequoiarecords.com
