Andrea, if you are reading this.... you are a genius. The depth of these applications are going to require me to do some serious reading in the coming weeks.

Hi Chris It's the <sarcasm>wonderful</sarcasm> Spam filter Yahoo have operating on their lists. Not only is it not very effective, it doesn't light up warnings that it has caught a mail as it IMHO really should, so yes, your last was unfortunately overlooked. Sorry about that. If it happens again, feel free to contact me privately. >Admins are ya out there?? Always, if a little busy due to the Redmatica group buy going on here and on the LUG just now :-) kind regards Mark Cahill

In actual fact, I confused Andrea as to when the store should close. We caught it fairly quickly, it was my fault, not his :-) It will remain open for roughly 13 hours as from the time of writing this mail - 18:50 CET. kind regards Mark Cahil

The Group Buy has now finished, sign ups will no longer be accepted. Thanks to everyone who participated for helping make this another very succesful group buy. Please note, payments must be received by January 5 2008. kind regards Mark Cahill

This is a final reminder that the special on-line store for the Redmatica/LUG/EXS group buy is closing at 24:00 pacific time / Jan 06 8:00 a.m. GMT, in less than 15 hours from the sending of this mail. Until then the software is still available to those who signed up at the achieved discount of 40%. After this, the discount is no longer available. Everyone who signed up should have received details from Redmatica about how to proceed with payment and access your software per Download. If anyone is in any way unsure about this, or has any sort of question, please contact either myself at this address, or Redmatica at info@redmatica.com urgently. As we rely on subscribers making up the numbers to obtain the discounts we negotiate with the developers who we work with when running group buys, if we have reason to believe that somebody remained signed up without the intention of proceeding, and we hear no more from them, it may cause them to be excluded from future LUG/EXS group buys. Therefore it is very important to contact us, even at this late stage. thanks and regards Mark Cahill LUG/EXS Admin

Hi folks, I just discovered something interesting in Logic 8: Go to the Channel strip pop-up menu in the Mixer and select something from one of the Jam Packs eg : Jam Pack World Music / Mallets / African Marimba The Garageband instrument [Tuned Percussion] opens up with this sound. Now, click on the Instrument slot and choose EXS24 instead of Tuned Percussion EXS24 opens ...... with the African Marimba already loaded!! Nice, if you want to take the sound further, edit, etc etc. Regards - Colin

Yes, but they do not always sound identical as the EXS24 has some filters etc. that the Garageband version does not.

>Message posted by Jay Asher <jay@jayasher.com>: > >Yes, but they do not always sound identical as the EXS24 has some >filters etc. that the Garageband version does not. You're quite right - but you have the option to choose. For more "editability", EXS24 is generally far more powerful.

There are thousands of free sounds including seashore sounds here: Free Sounds - http://www.sounds.beachware.com In fact, I recorded or made almost all of them. Though they are fairly low res at 8/22, but small in size. -T

Hey All I have been using rex and apple loop files more lately for drums but still would like to sweeten them with some single hits. I built a nice sounding kit from A Discrete Drums library single hit collection, and while the sampler is dealing with velovity splits for different velocity layers fine, it does not respond to different velocities within the layeres themselves. For example a snare drum which is assigned to play from velocity 40 to 80 plays at the same volume throughout the velocity range. Can anyone share the correct way to enable the sample to play correctly with regard to the velocity? Thanks!

Does anyone know how I can bring my Roland CD-Rom (700 Series) into the EXS or Logic? Thanks

Is there an easy way to find which of the thousands of samples on my EXSamples Folder are not associated with my EXS24 instruments. I would love to erase the orphaned samples and get back the Drive space. I am using Logic 8 but the samples in question are from Logic 6 and still reside in a Logic 6 Series folder set. I hope this makes sense....

I'm looking for a Fairlight(?) type voice/choir sound (the kind that can be heard on 'Blue Monday') Searches led me to the omega-art site but it seems that the raw sample data is no longer available for free from hollowsun. Is there anywhere else I might find a free (or relatively cheap) download of something close?! Thanks to anyone who can help /Mark

Not free or necessarily cheap, but I like the way they sound. I haven't bought them yet myself, though. Shmoe

Hi guys, Within one of my sessions under Logic Pro 7, when I select any audio instrument track featuring an EXS24 Instrument plugged, and I press the caps lock everything seems to work as usual, but this virtual keyboard does not reach the EXS24, and hence no sound comes out when I play from this Caps Lock keyboard. However, when I go inside the EXS24 Instrument Editor and I click on any sample-key of this Editor's dedicated keyboard with the mouse, it works. As I never use any other keyboard than this Caps Lock one, it's a problem, cuz I can't record anything on the fly in such tracks. I've tried working around the midi channel a bit, but it doesn't work either. Has anyone a clue of how to make this little keyboard work? Thanks in advance.
