EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi there,

Found another site with pretty nice samples recently.
http://www.alchemystudio.it/FrameSet_en.htm
Click on the "Free Samples" link on the left.
You'll find a whole lot of stuff there, the patches I converted are the
following (you should find the appropriate samples easily, of course I can
only host the EXS files):
http://home.arcor.de/s.franck/exs/alchemy/DeepMinorPad.zip
http://home.arcor.de/s.franck/exs/alchemy/JupiterPad.zip
http://home.arcor.de/s.franck/exs/alchemy/LushPad.zip
http://home.arcor.de/s.franck/exs/alchemy/NuBambu.zip

Same procedure as usual, there's allways one "Patchname basic" file in the
zips, containing no GUI information but the mapping only, so it will adopt
the settings from any previously loaded patch. To listen to the "raw" patch,
select "Recall default EXS MkII settings" from the options menu. Then
there's another "Patchname 01" EXS file which contains some GUI information
written into it. This time I didn't take much time to construct something
special, but it might be just OK as a starting point.
The JupiterPad is a bit obvious IMO but the other three patches I like a
lot, "LushPad" is some sort of sound I didn't have yet - also does a nice
job for a deep, very soft bass.
The octave settings might not fit everybody's taste, but for me they work
fine.

Will perhaps convert a few more later on. Weird thing is, quite some of the
patches contain some .sts files, apparently files for Creamware's sampler.
From what I understand, CDxtract is supposed to read them, but when I went
to a friends place to convert them (he's got CDxtract, I think it should be
version 4, but I'm not sure about that), nothing was shown. As I don't have
it by myself I can't check whether I did something wrong or not, maybe
Bernhard could comment on that...

Regards,
Sascha
