GIGA-to-EXS Headache HHELLPP!!

2003-11-02 by pj8531

I know that this issue has been discussed to pieces already, but I'm
having no luck getting GIGA converted to EXS. Here's a quote from
another thread:

"Converting a Giga file to EXS is simple, you just put the file with
the .gig
extension in the sampler instruments folder. Open Logic and an EXS
instance,
select the sound and Logic with automatically start to convert it."

Guess what? NOT!!

I bought Quantum Leap Brass, GIGA format. It came with 31.41 GB of
.PERF files and .GIG files. I placed all .GIG files in my Sampler
Instruments Folder on the same level as Logic 6.3.1. The .PERF file
folder, presumably from the size, contains the .WAV info, which I
could see within the path name while scanning with Project Manager.  I
opened Logic 6.3.1 and EXS, no luck when trying to open from EXS's
sticky menu.

Going nuts here. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
PJ
