Help!! My EXS24 is loading the wrong instrument file! I am trying to save a EXS plugin setting setting file which contains a reference to the clavinet exs instrument that was installed to my hard drive from the EXS factory CD. This clavinet instrument is stored the file: D:Sampler InstrumentsEXS24 Factory Sounds

I've found that this happens consistently when you have .exs instruments in the different folders with the same name. EXS24 loads the first one with that name...whether it's the correct one or not. The only way I found the deal with it was to rename instruments with the same name. A unique number or letter before or after the file name suffices.

The thought of going through my EXS library to find and rename .EXS files with the same name does not fill me with joy and happiness :-( G.

A recent wonderful invention by Andrea Gozzi: http://www.arcanoise.com/ExsManager/index.htm I don't know for sure, but hopefully it can solve your problems automatically.

I've downloaded EXS manager, but haven't had time to explore its features yet. However, this hasn't been a problem for me really. I just deal with the duplicates as they pop up. There haven't been very many. Fred Story Concentrix Music and Sound Design www.concentrixmusic.com
