Garth - Sorry for the confusion ­ lack of experience with the EXS editor showing. Each *note* has four zones assigned to it, and each zone is assigned to one of four groups. - PH ------------------------------------

So you got the ModWheel XFade working, but you had mentioned earlier that your Zones were already grouped according to velocity, which you had 4 velocity splits. Did you notice that you couldn't combine the two - Vel splits and MW xfade? Or did you just substitute the Vel for Modwheel xfade? I'm asking just to be sure there wasn't any other way to do this.

Velocity is still controlling volume for all four groups, so controlling timbre with the mod wheel is an acceptable trade-off. Thanks, again. - PH ------------------------------------

I'm trying to switch EXS in Logic Studio (8.1) from poly to legato using a pedal switch. The Logic 8 manual does not even list the controllers for any of these functions, though Logic 7's manual tells me it's CC 71. But I can't seem to get CC71 (or any other controller) to talk to EXS in either version of Logic - is there something I'm forgetting about here? -- with best wishes, John http://abram.ca ------------------------------------

Hi John , I just checked, by hooking up a monitor to the channel strip, and it seems like the three modes are controlled by fader message 7. A value of 0 is poly, 1 is mono, and 2 is legato. Don't forget that these respond to fader messages; so you'll need to hook up a transformer in the environment to convert the incoming pedal messages appropriately. Also, don't forget that with L8's internal architecture, the instrument plugins are set to respond on MIDI channel 2. HTH. -------- Eli Krantzberg http://www.elikrantzberg.com http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com ------------------------------------

If I understand correctly, all u have to do is make a copy of your EXS24 Sampler Instruments contents, and place them into the same folder in L8. ------------------------------------

Hi, Can someone please tell me if I can load different sample libraries into the Logic Express sampler? I just bought a sample library from realsamples (the Dulcitone Celesta) and it comes with EXS24 samples, but I can not get them to load into the player. I have tried putting them into the application support folder under Application Support/logic/samplerinstruments and under Application Support/Logic/channelstrip settings. Please help, thanks.

Hi Christopher, It sounds like you put them in the right place. Put the Sampler Instruments in User - Library - Application Support - Logic - Sampler Instruments. Just make sure to hit the refresh menu command inside the EXS 24 pull down instrument menu from within the plug in. Either that or relaunch Logic. And of course make sure the samples are on your drives somewhere.

I put them in the right place, but they don't seem to find their way in there. I did take the .exe files out of the folder at one point just to see if that would do it, but it said there were duplicates and then went to find the file and couldn't find it. Well, I have emailed the software designer, so he might be able to help. Is there any difference between the Express sampler and the Pro sampler features that night inhibit this from happening? I assume you can load other sound libraries into the EXS 24 in express right? thanks Chris

So this appears to be a bug then, 'cause it never did work.

Hi Christopher, Sorry for the delay responding - it should work. The only explanation I can think of is pilot error somehow. You can absolutely bring in and use third party EXS formatted libraries with any version of the EXS 24 in any version of Logic. So, I don't know where the error is, but just to repeat what needs to be done: * The sampler instruments (should have a .exs at the end of the names of the files) need to be in the User Library folder. In Applications -- Logic -- Sampler Instruments. * The samples need to be somewhere on one of your drives that your system can see. That should be it. Make sure the sampler instruments aren't nested too deeply inside sub folders. Maybe that could potentially be a problem. Don't forget to "refersh menu" in the Instrument menu after placing them where they need to be. Other than that - it should work!

Oops - that should read "Application Support" instead of "Applications".
