You don't have to copy the .wav files to disk. Just make sure the "Use 
Source Samples for the Dest Programs" check box is unchecked; that way, the 
samples get copied to whatever location you choose under Sample Destination 
Folder, and then Translator writes those new locations into the .exs files 
it creates.

This avoids Logic looking for the files.

Remember that also you can choose AIFF in the EXS Options tab to 
automatically convert the S-5000 .wav files to normal AIFF files while they 
are being copied. AIFF files tend to have less hassles in Macs.

If you have any other issues, please contact Chicken Systems support. This 
weekend we are giving away free sandwiches to every 9th caller, and will 
enter you into a drawing for a Caribbean cruise.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
