EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

This is my first post to this group. I finally have a problem I can't  
solve by either searching previous messages or by reading the manual.
I have Logic Pro 7.1 and GigaStudio Orchestra 3. Gigastudio comes  
with two discs of samples from the Vienna Symphonic Library. On the  
discs, the samples are stored in two folders, 16 bit and 24 bit.  
Following the procedure in the Logic manual, I am trying to convert  
these samples and instruments to the EXS format. I loaded the files  
into the Sample Instrument folder in the Application Support folder  
of my user Library folder. I open an instrument in the EXS, and it  
converts the instrument and samples. Here is the problem. The  
instruments in the 16 bit folder convert extremely well. However, the  
instruments in the 24 bit folder do not convert correctly. The  
samples convert just fine, since I can load them into the audio  
window and play them. It is the instrument files that are getting  
mangled. For example, none of the key mapping seems to be converted  
correctly, since playing any pitch on the keyboard produces the same  
pitch. Also, when the instrument is a violin pitzz., the sound that  
results is a sustained violin. All the Giga instruments are bank  
files. The structure of the files seems to convert correctly, since  
the EXS instrument has the .bk ending and each bank contains the  
correct instruments. Is there something I am missing in the  
conversion process?

I have a 1.8 GHz G5 with OS X 10.4.2, 2 gigs of Ram. Any help would  
be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
