In case we're talking about whatever patches that are supposed to be loadable by the EXS, these have the suffix "exs", as in "PhattBass.exs". They are small files containing mapping information and sample location references. And if we're talking about them, I still don't understand your problem. Regards Sascha

(Actually, more likely they install Giga files.) What library are you referring to? If that's the case, the .EXE file is a Windows installer. Many Giga libraries came this way; the .exe file is actually a RAR installer. If so, the trick is to open the .exe with StuffIt Expander. Doesn't the library you have come with instructions?

yeah nah they are just the exec files that come with magazine DVD librarys.... I just thought there might be an easier way to load the bloody sampler...

I'll just second the redmatica software on this... this will sound like a product endorsement, take that how you like, but what a huge timesaver that was. I figure even at minimum wage the software paid for itself in one shot of library cleanup. It took about an hour to buy, install, and run it. then I left the room. I was looking at at least a hundred hours of sampler work that had gotten moved and disconnected from the exs. plus I haven't had a sample not found message since I started using it. not one.

Agreed. EXSManager is essential if you have even a fairly large sample collection. Redmatica now has an AMAZING new app called KeyMap - I'd advise any serious EXS-samplist to look at it. You can drag whole folders of sample into KeyMap and it will map all of them according to the original pitch, or sample names etc. Even this is a huge time-saver but it does a whole lot more. I'm still working through the KeyMap manual and I'm very impressed.... Regards - Colin

Im trying to load wav (roland phantom x sounds) files into exsp24. I've read a post that suggests using instrument editer, however im using logic express that doesnt seem to have an edit function any help would be good

i have a scary mystery probem with my exs library... My VSL library, which makes up most of my samples, have stopped working - they won't load at all. The rest of the library (ie the emagic ones and others etc) load fine. i've run exs manager (but not the latest) to re link - no joy. Since I suddenly find myself unable to load songs (which include VSL stuff) I'm currently working on, I thought I would try to open the songs without them automatically loading the samples - i seem to remember there is a pref button for this somewhere - but I can't find it!!! i'm on 10.4.8/twin 2GIG G5/4GB ram btw running version 7.2 any thoughts very much appreciated here... max

Where can I get a sample of the Hiroshima Peace Bell? Anyone??

You must have done *something* to make this happen - perhaps a system update or maybe even your directory is corrupt. Do you have DiskWarrior or any drive repair app? EXSManager should work - when you say "no joy" - what exactly happens? Have you tried posting at the VSL forums? http://vsl.co.at/en-us/69/128/33.vsl Regards - Colin

So, unfortunately this can only be done with the 'full' version, found in Pro. Chris Hellstrom Guitarist - Programmer - Engineer http://www.chrishellstrom.com

If you know where your individual samples are and you know where your exs instument files are you should be able to relink things by hand without too much trouble. Use the <f> find function of the OS to locate individual samples. Or do you have problems with the instrument files? You need to locate them in the same fashion. Then you can create aliases <l> and drag the aliases into the instrument folder, which is inside library/ application support/logic. thie library folder can be both in the users files or the main library folder. disk repair doesn't help you unless your disk is damaged. the disk utility does a good job at repairing trees etc. otherwise you may look into "drive genius". I read a lot here about exs manager but I don't understand the use of it. I think it is more important to know exactly where your stuff is. all the best J

Then it should be enough to know the disk where your stuff is. ESX manager finds all your instruments and samples on a whole disk in minutes. ___ Peter Ostry

I was there in Hiroshima and the sound is deep and heavy. Unfortunately I didn't have sound equipment at the time. I'm hoping to find one that sounds like the bell up close. Dan

I processed my Emu library surprisingly quickly to seek out "clones" (even checking the entire sample file, BTW rather than just the first 60,000 samples) and had the culprits (for me) moved to the trash. I have the "primaries" so there is probably no harm in deleting the clones. This has put an end to the annoying messages I was getting constantly (when I would load an instrument from this collection) to the effect that there were identical samples lurking, etc. Now, loading is practically instantaneous. One thing that troubles me a little is the many megabytes of "unused" samples which exist despite the fact that all 20,000 plus instuments are now "complete," despite a significant incidence of "weak references." I had EXS mgr. move these orphan samples to an "aux" file. I spot checked here and there and was unable to find an instrument which was noticably suffering missing samples. I attribute the detachment of these samples not to EXS manager, which has merely reported them, but perhaps to CDXract or even the original Emu CD's. I'm grateful for its existence, however CDxtract seems to have "demapped" my Emu drumkits and just broke the individual samples out as it they were separate instruments, so maybe I'll get "Keymap" to expedite reassembling them. Something has been lost in translation here and there, I guess, but at this point, I'm moving on from that project. I have a much more accessible collection now, in any event. I can always resort to using the hardware if things seem amiss. Also, thanks to Andrea at Redmatica for the invitation to query Redmatica support.

That at least proves that I don't tell nonsense the whole day. Half of the day, perhaps. > One thing that troubles me a little is the many megabytes of > "unused" samples which exist > despite the fact that all 20,000 plus instuments are now > "complete," despite a significant > incidence of "weak references."

Moving them to a separate place was a good idea. I know of four reasons for orphaned samples. 1 - There is (or was) an instrument somewhere, which EXS manager doesn't see and the samples belong to that instrument. 2 - The samples originally belonged to one of your used instrument but are actually not used and not linked in the original instrument file. Some developers don't delete individual samples after they decided not to use them. 3 - The samples belong to a library you have but do not belong to an instrument because they are for special usage. 4 - The samples are from somewhere else (CD, etc) and don't belong to an instrument. They are probably not even that type of samples but other audio files. 20,000 instruments? Wow. Didn't kow that the EXS can handle that many. Must take days to find a sound. > I attribute the detachment of these samples not to EXS manager, > which has merely > reported them, but perhaps to CDXract or even the original Emu CD's. Yeah, something like that. If the names can't, the sounds of the samples might give you a clue about their origin. ___ Peter Ostry

Whoa! What a huge sample collection this is! Here's the link: http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/index.php Ingo

Great collection, but the bell sound is very weak. The sound up close is truly amazing. Of course I tried the Goolge search before coming to EXS. Your sarcasm is not appreciated Jurgen. If anyone can recommend a site, I'd much appreciate.

I've recorded some conga samples at my friends house and I want to load them onto the EXS sampler. I loaded up the EXS sampler, clicked on edit went to new instrument and created my instrument and then went to new zone. I kept repeating this and I then loaded up my conga samples. Unfortunately they are not playing back. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

You also want to make sure the conga samples loaded into each zone are set to oneshot, so that they play through when they are triggered. -Matt

That method seemed to work. I have a new problem. When I finish loading up my samples I saved the instrument. I then saved the whole file as a Logic song file and quit. When I reopen the file and go into edit function and open my conga samples they don't trigger the conga samples but this horrible noise. Any ideas why this might be the case?

Hi Everyboby, I´m looking for a usable Mandolin- Sample. It seems to be very hard to get one. Can anybody help me. Thanks a lot, Klaus
