EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Per,
Sorry to disturb your Saturday night, but my new EXS version of the White
Grand arrived today.  I installed it.  Immediately used Redmatica's
EXSManager to fix all the file references so it wouldn't take a half hour to
load and here is the result.

I load it into a stereo instance of the EXS with Virtual Memory on so it
streams and doesn't load the whole thing into memory.  Even with
EXSManager's corrections, it takes about a minute and a half to load.
Still, there are a lot of big samples, so I will assume for now that this is
normal.

Now the shocker...all I hear on all notes is white noise.  Whoosh whoosh
whoosh.  I click on edit and open up the EXS editor for the White Grand,
randomly select a note to open it's zone parameters, click on it's assigned
sample which quickly takes me to the original sample.  In the ensuing
dialog, I press the play button and the note sounds perfectly.  I press the
same corresponding note on my midi keyboard and get white noise.

To be sure nothing else was going on, I trashed the logic prefs, checked out
three or four other EXS instruments from my HD and all instruments played
normally.  I then repaired OSX Panther 10.3.3 permissions and rebooted the
computer.  No luck.  Still white noise.  Opened the HD that had the White
samples on it.  Navigated to some random White Grand notes, used Panther's
preview pane to test them, and all samples played normally.

I then created a new EXS instrument, created a new zone, randomly selected a
White Grand sample, and it played fine.  The only thing I can imagine is
that the two EXS White Grand instruments were corrupted on the DVDs you sent
me. 

If you believe that is the case, the simple solution is to send me a fresh
copy of the two EXS White Grand instrumnents (obviously not the samples).
Since the files are just over a meg, my email client will probably not allow
them, so I've given you a folder on my website to upload them to.  Use Fetch
or a similar FTP program enter the following exactly as typed here (no caps)
Host:  rampagemusic.net
Username:  per@...
Password: larsson

Ignore the folder in there and just drop the two files into the main
directory that the program takes you to.  Please stuff them in a binhex mode
to prevent any internet corruption.

If you think they aren't corrupted and there is something else going on,
please let me know.  I hate when these things happen.  I was so anxious to
start using it tonight!

Best regards,
