EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Sascha,

Please don't thank me, thank the guys who maintain that site! My last visit 
to Hollow Sun before last week was October of last year, and I was shocked 
to see that the content had more than doubled! My personal favorite aspect 
of the site is the detailed information on each of the synths and drum 
machines. It makes me feel more like I'm playing an instrument than a set of 
samples.

Hmmm, well that explains a lot.... Thanks for that tidbit Sascha.

I had a read about their policies, and it seems to me that it would be 
perfectly acceptible to create and share EXS instruments of these samples, 
as long as they're aware of it:

"Hollow Sun also agrees in principle to the sounds available here to be made 
available on other 'free' websites that may provide the sounds in a 
different format (e.g. HALion, Reason, etc.). As long as the sounds are not 
being used for commercial gain or profit, permission will normally be 
granted in return for full credit and a link to this website but please 
contact Hollow Sun before proceeding."

I'll contact them, and obtain permission to share the EXS instruments 
because I have (or will have, in the case of the new content mentioned 
above) already done the work, well CDXtract did the work for me.... I won't 
have time to correct any of the .EXS files, but at least we'll all have a 
starting point.

Mark
