Possibly, this question was made in the past, but I can't find it. Excuse me if this is the case... My first question is: What kind of file is a .akp? My second (and last) is: Can EXS24 read this .akp's? I just find a possible theremin source, but is in .akp, and I would like to know if this file is a valid EXS24 file. If not, know you something about play a theremin with the Logic's sampler? Thank you in advance, alexander

If so you need a program like CDXtract on Chickensys Translator to convert it to exs format. EXS can import akai format cds (allegedly, haven't tried it for a bit and i remember some issues that may have been sorted) but not Akai program files on a normal CD or HD. Hope this helps, Mike

You need to use a thrid party convertor such as Translator www.chickensys.com or CDXtract www.cdxtract.com to convert the .akp into a .exs file. Or you can just rebuild it yourself from the .wav files (which will accompany the .akp). Garth Hjelte Sampler User

Thank you, so much for this valuable information!

Hello, I've got aproblem because of my old equipment and my search for suitable sample-libraries. My computer: i-Mac(Snow) DV-SE 500 MHz G3, 256 MB, Mac OS 9.0.4 - 9.2.2; sequencer: Logic Audio Gold 4.6; sampler: EXS24 1.0. How is it possible to upgrade to a newer Logic version like 6? What are the system-requirements of it? May I get/buy a key for logic 6? Another point of thinking: If I'd buy one of the new available sample-libraries made for EXS24, for instance "Advanced Orchestra Extended" or "Ethno World 2", would the old version 1.0 be able to read them? It wouldn't be necessary to make all new features working, but could I use the sample-instruments? Who can help a little? Yours - Titus

Logic 6 is no longer available, in fact Logic 7 was released over two years ago. Furthermore, AFAIK, there is no upgrade path offered from versions of logic older than 5. > What are the system-requirements of it? The requirements for Logic 7 are listed here, with a G4 as minimum: http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs.html > May I get/buy a key for logic 6? Only second hand, but be very careful that any offers you may find are genuine, and remember that there is no support for versions of Logic older than 7, nor for XSkeys which haven't a 7 authorisation. If you do happen to find a second hand logic 5 or 6, you can then upgrade to 7. kind regards Mark Cahill

Just FWIW, some of the libraries I tried don't sound too good on my 4.8.1 system on a nuBus machine... Best, Andy

i have some piano sequencers and samples tthat I would like to add to my EXS24 sampler......I would like to know how i would be able to do this. At the moment, I have the keyboards and samples saved on a hard drive which is not my start up drive. Logic is installed on my start up drive. if anyone knows how this can be done, I would be happy if i can get some help. Thank you godfrey ...........I use a mac G5.........Tiger 10.4,.........80 Gig hard drive..........3 gig memory

I brought home a new iMac 20" today, and had Logic 7.0 running fine pretty quickly. The iMac is of course an Intel based one. The only problem i am having is that i can no longer make new sampler instruments in teh EXS24 using REX files. In the 'edit' menu, under 'instrument,' the sub menu 'Recycle Convert' is grayed out. Any ideas? Maybe this is some obvious thing, but I just can't figure it out. thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to assign control over the EXS24 ENV2 (Amp) attack to one of the MIDI faders on my keyboard so I can change it as I play. However I can't figure out which MIDI number the EXS attack might have been allocated? Can the EXS24 in fact accept MIDI commands to make parameter changes? Or is this only do-able through drawing in the automation? Thanks, Denis Clohessy

Hi folks, Anrea Gozzi of Redmatica has released his long-awaited software Keymap software: http://www.redmatica.com./Redmatica/Keymap.html This will be a MUST-HAVE for any serious EXS24 owner. I just ordered my copy..... Regards - Colin

WHINING WARNING This is a real drag - it would be much better for Logic's internal instruments not to have to rely on standard CC controllers which are useful for other things. Why is there not a bank of "Meta-Controllers" for internal messages? WHINE OVER I need some wine -- with best wishes, John http;//abram.ca

Keymap seems to have a build-in sample editor, and EXS24's own sample editor isn't really one of it's strong points. But I still have to find a detailed description of Keymap's sample editor in the manual... Ingo

Here's a suggestion: older samplers (I'm a former Roland sampler user) had an alternate loop option, i.e. the lopp is played back forward, then backwards, then forward and so on. AFAIK no software sampler allows for this, though often a good loop can be achieved this way when it's difficult to get a good loop with the standard forward-only method. This could be integrated into Keymap. I know CDXtract can "unroll" alternate loops in existing samples, but it cannot create new ones. Another comment: browsing through the user's guide I found the following sentence: "Keymap is also not a plugin, and you can’t place it in a Logic channel strip" (page 5). It's probably not of much practical use, but this actually might be possible using Jack: http://www.jackosx.com/ And, in my very humble opinion, the Keymap user's guide *really* needs a table of contents... ;-) Ingo

Has anyone else noticed that the Logic Pro EXS24 Double Bass (Arco) is playing up by 4 semitones? What's the easiest way to alter this permanently?

Yes. Each sample has a loop toggle on it. I am trying to just touch the key to trigger a looped sample though. Hit the key once for on, once for off. By having the loop box checked, it allows you loop, but the key needs to be held down. This topic has escaped everyone so far. Anyone know?

Can anyone help? I am new on here and to Logic, reading an article in Compter Music, it is saying to load a sample(s) of drum beats into it then assign them to midi keys. Help please!!!

I believe note velocities from 64-127 will turn sustain on, while velocities from 1-63 will turn sustain off. You might also try creating a dummy Zone (with no sample assigned) and assign that, along w/ your loop, to a Group that is allocated only one voice. This way you can use the dummy Zone for muting the loop. Matt Miller http://www.millertone.com

Also, velocity doesn't seem to have an effect on the sustain (hold) control. It seems that you can only turn sustain on, but not off using note values. However, the system I laid out does allow you to toggle a loop. -Matt
