I like that solution; would be nice if you could get an original sample that was pitched higher or lower. Most multisampled things get pitched samples from the original source at about 2-3 pitches per octave. (More or less depending on your anal capacity or the need of the sound; e.g. vocals don't transpose well, while soft strings do.) Just out of interest, Tascam released a free piano instrument that is made out of just ONE piano sample! It's more for geek showing off, but it uses impulse manipulation and other techniques to "stretch" the piano sound to be legit up and down the keyboard, and also replicates an valid velocity timbre. But that takes a lot of special technology and certainly isn't applicable to the EXS24. SampleTank has a Stretch feature that is more formant based then impulse based, but it can go a fairly good job at making one sample work across a wider range of pitches. It's really cool, especially when working with vocal phrases and licks. Garth Hjelte Sampler User

I've been doing research on the web and can only find really expensive sound libraries that have taiko drums in them. Anyone know of any sample cds that don't cost the earth?

I am experiencing an issue in the 'group' section of the EXS sampler - the group is only receiving midi when set to channel 1 in the 'select by' 'm.cha.' parameter box - however, when set to channel 1 in this parameter box, samples will play triggered by ANY channel [1-16] from my controllers. I'm stumped - Thanks for help !! Charlie

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to load the same sample into an EXS instrument more than once so, for example, I can have a Hi-Hat sample triggered from two different keys..? At the moment, once I load a sample it's filename disappears from the browser so it cannot be loaded again into another zone. Is there a workaround for this..? I know I can disable pitch and set the keyrange for the keys I need, but this is not practical if I want to use black keys for the hats and white keys for something else. Cheers, Andy M

Is there a > workaround for this..? Yes. Actually there's two workarounds. 1) Switch off "filter used" in the EXS' file loading dialog and you'll see all the samples you're using already. 2) Copy the zone already using the sample. The usual copy/paste commands are working just fine. I would also set up a keycommand for "move zones left/right with root key", so you can instantly move the copied zone in order to avoid later confusion. I'm using Ctrl + (left/right) Arrows and it suits me fine. Regards Sascha

does anyone know of a free online resource for the exs-24 and vienna samples. for example free presets or screen shots of usefull configurations for vienna samples and exs?

I am currently using Logic Pro 7.2.1 and I'm using Recycle. When trying to create a new EXS instrument using REX files it greys out the option. Is there an software update I need?

I've just transfered all my sounds onto a new machine (Mac Pro 2.33 dual core), My old system was built up to Logic 7.2 off of upgrades from as early as Logic 5. My samples in the old system were kind of scattered due to the different ways that Logic dealt with samples thru the each revision. Anyway I'm doing a new clean install of 7.2 and having issues getting all my stuff to gel. I had an Akai samples folder created from importing off of Sample CDs. When making the transfer I realized i dont have the CD ROMs any more to reimport them into Logic, But I do have the .Aif files created by Logic on the import. As a quick fick I went thru and made new instruments from all my .AIF drum samples from the Akai foler (mostly dance mega drums stuff) When I created them they showed up in the EXS browser fine complete with all my subfolder organizations. After Coming back to the machine (after reboot) Only One (1 !!) of the drum kits shows up while the many other drum kit instruments were not to be scene. All searches with project manager give me nothing. It sees everything there just fine but has many samples it can't place. In the Finder all the instrument files are greyed out (not selectable) and are labeled just "Logic Pro File", while the one that shows up in EXS shows it as EXS instrument file. All these instruments were created at the same time (in one 2 hour session of fun! not) All samples are there, but the instrument files got messed up... Anyone? PS thanx for listening to my saga S

I own an imac G5 and hve recently bought a Samson CO3U USB MIC - there is massive background noise! I really did n't think my MAC was that noisy. I have tried moving the MIC further away from the MAC but apart from moving the MAC out the room ANY ideas!? Paul

I actually have these samples on a sample cdrom called 'dance mega drums' but it is not reading properly. I am creating an 80's drum machine kit from the following drum machines: Oberheim DMX Oberheim DX Sequential Circuits Drumtraks Emu Drumulator Linn LM-1 Linn 9000 etc Linn Drum those sort of drum machines. In the late 80's early 90's Jamaican reggae was dominated with a sound mostly created by the Oberheim DX in the hands of 'Steely and Clevie'. This is the main reason I am putting together these sounds. To emulate this era of reggae dancehall. Yeah my akai cdrom must be scratched or something. I can load some of them but I want to make sure all the drum sounds from each machine are included in this kit. Thanks yall. Roman.

You can use the directional patterns of the mic to reject the computer noise to some degree but the real solution is to encase the computer in a sound absorbing box of some kind. These Isolation boxes can be bought from some places but they aren't cheap. You can also build your own out of timber and/or drywall and sound deadening materials quite cheaply but you have to maintain ventilation or your machine will run hot and fail. Having access to DVD slots and power switches etc and being able to see hard-drive lights etc are other issues. Ideally you should be able to easily open the box and access the machine and if the front panel is glass or perspex you can get visual feedback from the machine case too.

Aside from the iso box route you can try one of the new devices like the SE Reflexion Filter. They've been backordered but I'm expecting one tommorrow. I think Real Traps now makes one too. They will mount on the same mic stand as your condenser but form a nice acoustic barrier between it and your noise source. They are often recommended by Sound on Sound Magazine to anyone who's not recording vocals in a professional room. JP
