The word *should* is the operative word here. I recently had some percussion samples(slate rocks) set up in KM 1.5 to do a Round Robin. I brought them into the EXS and they worked fine. I brought that same EXS instrument into Kontakt 2 and the RR did not work at all. I sent Garth an email at Chicken Systems and he had it fixed in Translator within 24 hours (another guy who has incredible tech support BTW). I assume that fix will be in the next version of Kontakt as well. I have not used MachFive or Halion or Giga in a while, so I cannot comment on their import abilities. But certainly if you understand the architecture of whatever format you are importing into with a bit of tweaking you can straighten this stuff out anyway. Also.... yesterday I was working with a gigabyte on Zither samples. Keymap 1.5 has a new auto-tune type function which can be used on a per-sample/zone basis. Well I was just BLOWN AWAY by how easy it was to tune all those samples. I was left thinking of all the hours I've spent in the past years tuning samples "by hand", it was depressing and exhilarating at the same time. Anyway ... Keymap totally kicks some butt!!

Hey Andrea, My name is Willie Dowling and I¹ve been using your programme EXSManager Pro (I¹m currently v 2.9.2) for some time now. I compose music mostly for film and television (www.williedowling.co.uk) interjected with occasional band projects, and I¹m just about to start a new film wherein one of the key instruments is a Welsh pump organ. This is comprised of all home made samples which I recently, for the very first time, crudely imported the samples into an EXS24 instrument. No looping, nothing complex. Just simple import each sample to a Zone on each key note I sampled, tell the sample the range of notes it is to play over, even out the volumes a little and make minor adjustments to sample start times, and that¹s about it. And it works ok. Sustain a note too long and it just stops of course, but the thought of learning how to loop over each sample is too daunting and time consuming. But I¹ve been following the recent traffic in the Logic user groups with interest, and it seems that your keymap one (if I¹m right in what I think I¹ve understood!) is the intelligent and simple way to do this kind of import job much more efficiently. I should stress that for the most part I rely on my rather huge music library which I use within EXS24 and rarely even edit sounds, let alone create my own, but I do have a number of folders of wav samples of various instruments , including the pump organ, that are currently unused simply because I¹m not that experienced in creating my own EXS instruments from scratch, and whenever I¹ve tried it seems extremely time consuming. Would I be correct in thinking that this new program of yours would be ideal for me, and is it really as simple as people are suggesting, given that not only am I inexperienced at this kind of thing, I am also intensely lazy! I would appreciate any advice you may have. I run a G5 quad OSX 10.4.8, using Logic Pro ver 7.2.3 combining a DAE-TDM environment with core audio.

Im running it on a dual 1.6 G4 (was originally a single 800Mhz) and it uses a bit more cpu then 7 did.. At our studio we have a dual 867 that I got brave and upgraded as well. Our mixes that used to use about 50% of the CPUs are now using up about 80 and often they overload now and quit. Was doing a mix last night of a two mic jam we did live, has 5 tracks total, some compressors, and EQ's on some of the tracks.. And that thing was using an entire CPU and then some.. 5 tracks!! Both of the machines also have substandard graphics cards though as well (Logic Studio wants 64MB of VRAM to use the OpenGL features) so that may have some effect on performance as well.. Youre lucky though, youll be fine once your MacBook Pro arrives. The jump in performance from the G4 to the Intel line is like night and day. Since I cant afford a new one soon Im thinking of making my new Dell CoreDuo at work into a Hackintosh hahaha. --- Chris www.monotrematamusic.com www.descentrecords.com

Hello Willie, my personal experience too is that with the traditional tools you try doing these things once, and then twice, and then... you stop, because it's too boring and time consuming. Keymap was designed exactly out of my frustration with current tools and to make instrument building/editing a great and simple experience. > > > But I’ve been following the recent traffic in the Logic user groups > with interest, and it seems that your keymap one (if I’m right in > what I think I’ve understood!) is the intelligent and simple way to > do this kind of import job much more efficiently. Keymap One is the entry level version, but contains the same looping and autolooping functions than Keymap (the bigger one), and is an excellent way to start editing/building your instruments. Respect to Keymap, in Keymap One you will miss some potentiallly useful things, as automapping by pitch detection (i.e. drag and drop instrument building), but you can always upgrade from Keymap One to Keymap for not much more than the difference (this upgrade is not yet available on the site, but will be in a few days). > I should stress that for the most part I rely on my rather huge > music library which I use within EXS24 and rarely even edit sounds, > let alone create my own, but I do have a number of folders of wav > samples of various instruments , including the pump organ, that are > currently unused simply because I’m not that experienced in > creating my own EXS instruments from scratch, and whenever I’ve > tried it seems extremely time consuming. Yes, but from the feedback we got from users, once the process becomes simple and fun, you have a huge incentive at building your own personal sounds/effects/drums, or at least that's what we see. > Would I be correct in thinking that this new program of yours would > be ideal for me, and is it really as simple as people are > suggesting, given that not only am I inexperienced at this kind of > thing, I am also intensely lazy! Well, i'll tell you one thing: i'm *very* lazy too, or at least I totally hate doing repetitive and boring tasks. That's why Redmatica focus is on apps that automate and take care of complex/repetitive/ boring things! The application is deep, meaning that you can do a tons of things with it, but we spent lot of time to make it simple to use, with great visualization at all times of what you do. > I would appreciate any advice you may have. I would try the freely available demo, and btw, if you want, why don't you send me 3 or 4 of your organ samples so I can check them and tell you if you can get a good result out of them? We are always interested in checking our apps against real world situations. > I run a G5 quad OSX 10.4.8, using Logic Pro ver 7.2.3 combining a > DAE-TDM environment with core audio. The configuration is good (especially as you have a quad), provided you have some decent amount of RAM (1GB is ok, but 2GB and more would be optimal). Best Regards Andrea at Redmatica

Hi guys, just to let you all know Ive mailed the forum owner (using the mail at the bottom of the page) to find out what if any the process / owner how we proceed with this.

Hi Guy We are certainly aware of the interest in doing another Group Buy with Redmatica, in fact we did one for the EXS manager back in 2003. There isn't anything else you need to do, the interest is shown through the number of posts written here, and the quality of the software certainly speaks for itself. It can boil down to whether it is possible to set one up or not - typically, the issues can be, first of all if the developer is in principle interested, whether he may have other commitments such as distribution agreements, whether we can reach suitable pricing etc. kind regards Mark Cahill

HI Mark, and thanks for the clarification. So I guess if anyone is interested in being included in a possible group buy they need to post a confirmation here now so that Redmatica can either make comment or contact you with their thoughts...?

Hi Guy Anyone who wishes to post that they are interested in partaking in a group buy is of course perfectly welocme to do so. There is however, no need to do this. Whenever we run a group buy, that is when people have to get in touch in order to subscribe. They don't do that by writing here, instead, typically a mail address gets set up to accomodate subscriptions, together with a group buy page at our website, logic-users.org. Just in case you haven't seen this, here is how the last group buy looked: http://logic-users.org/groupbuy/vimag HTH, kind regards Mark Cahill

I think TapeOp and GearSlutz are good places also. Im sure there are many other places to post, so if you guys have anymore places/forums that you go then let me know and I can send you the "post" and you can just copy/paste it there.

--- In exs-users@yahoogroups.com, "guy lewis" <guypersonal@...> wrote: > > Ho wdo we get this to happen Mark? I think I already explained in general terms how LUG group buys work, Guy. I appreciate and understand your curiosity and enthusiasm, but please understand that the most important issue is if a developer wants to do one with us, and we can work out all the details involved and reach agreement. If this is the case, then a group buy may at some stage come to fruition, and as you can see on the group buy history at logic-users.org, IMHO we have quite an impressive track record. However, if a developer isn't able to, and there can be all sorts of reasons why not, then it just won't happen. I have been quite involved in helping setting up quite a number of the LUG group buys over the last four years. We talked with some companies for well over 6 months until we were able to do something. Please also bear in mind that it is our cast iron policy to never pre-announce any group buys. kind regards Mark Cahill

Sorry to be a curmudgeon, but to me this is just plain wrong. If I were Redmatica, no way would I stage a group buy on Keymap. I've been working for years on a brilliant and unique program that threatens to revolutionize sample library development. Why should I lower the price? I can't raise it again after a group buy, in fact it's already a problem that people have been trained to expect group buys with bargain basement prices before they buy anything. Of course it's nice to get ridiculously cheap prices, but if we want to have great software, we need to pay for it. Now, lest anyone think I'm a hypocrite, we did run a group buy for VI mag on the Logic list. But that wasn't anything that's going to hurt the industry by lowering the prices to the point that magazines can't survive. So it's not that I'm against normal capitalistic processes or that I don't see the other side, just that I want great software to continue to be developed.
