EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Cyril,

Autosampler is really a god-sent application. In brief, I use it to
record sounds from gear that I am going to get rid of and there's that
one patch that's holding me back or when I need a sound for when my
band plays live and I cannot possible bring 5 synths with me.

I haven't done any looping in Autosampler and to my knowledge it
doesn't do it at all. You need Keymap to do that. That program is well
worth it and while I haven't yet begun to use EXSManager, the
Compendium bundle has been worth every penny for me. Keymap produces
such good loops and there are complex features just below the surface
so that when you get a grasp on creating and editing EXSes, you can
take them to the next level. For instance, I just learned how to
normalize and even out the dynamics of a wave so that I can make
better use of the envelope controls.

Anyway, I use Autosampler whenever I can find an hour to program the
names, key ranges, and all that of each patch I'm going to record (I
like being organized) and then set it up to record when I'm asleep or
working. I then turn the volume off and let it ride. I suggest
everyone do the same.

Hope this helps,
