Dan South Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 And another thing... Is it possible to convert the samples that came with the old EXS24 (folders of AIFF files) to EXS24 II format (.exs files)? The Black Knight always triumphs!

The appropriate folder of AIF's is what gets accessed when you load an EXS file (the .exs thing) - the .exs file is essentially a collection of pointers and parameters that tell the EXS24 what samples to load and how to configure the filters, envelopes, etc. Originally posted by Dan South: And one MORE thing... How do you load WAV or AIFF files directly into the EXS24 II?Hit the "Editor" button that's next to the "Options" button above the volume knob in the EXS GUI. This will open the editor where you can create a new instrument, then add a zone - this enables you to import a single sample or a group all at once with three mapping options. Once you've done that, save the instrument, go back to the EXS plug-in and load the newly created instrument. recording/mix guy don gunn.com myspace.com/dongunnmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I rename the folder and give it a .exs extension? The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where the actual sample file need to reside. The Sampler Instruments folder holds the .exs files. recording/mix guy don gunn.com myspace.com/dongunnmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I rename the folder and give it a .exs extension? Is the folder you copied also named "Sampler Instruments"??? It's possible that a Sampler Instruments folder inside the Sampler Instruments folder might be confusing things. In your Logic 6 folder, you should basically have it boiled down to two key folders..."Sampler Instruments" (that's anything with a .exs extension), and "EXSamples" (all of the aif and .wav files...the actual samples). Both of these folders can have sub folders inside them (for obvious organizational reasons), and be named whatever you want them to. But it should break down like so: Logic 6 (or 5) folder - and inside of that... Sampler Instruments (sub folders inside), and EXSamples (sub folders inside). I hope I didn't make you more confused.

No, it was called Tenor Sax or something to that effect. I'll try moving it to the EXSamples folder (which I DO see there in the same place). Thanks guyz!!! P.S. Regarding Giga CD's, should I copy the entire contents of a CD to the Sampler Instruments folder? The EXS24 book said to copy Giga instruments there, but I don't know whether they mean the entire CD.
