Re: [exs] Sharing a string Instrument

2002-02-11 by Sascha Franck

Thanks Michael!

Just downloaded the patch, the only problem is that Windows allows no "?" in
filenames ("Cello Ab-1 B\ufffdttre?" for example). WinZip even didn't let me
unzip them, fortunately WinRar did the job, it only replaced the "?" with a
"_". Will see what Logic is doing with that, most likely it won't find the
samples... and whenever that happens as the first sample the EXS tries to
find you don't have any other option but to press "Continue" which will stop
the EXS's sample searching completely. Uhm! Also, while the EXS would find
files without any fileending, on Windows it doesn't allow loading them - so,
assuming it doesn't find the samples there's no way to get them back in but
to add some fileendings and load all of them manually, which is what I will
do now.
Bah, instead of assuming I will just test it right now....

****TEST****

UGH! As said, the EXS only finds *some* samples. The ones with the renamed
letters of course aren't found at all, but even worse, some zones are badly
detuned (like around a halftone). For example, there's one sample named
"Strings Ab0" which seems to be almost one wholetone out of tune.
Weird stuff going on there!

Anyways, I will now rename all the samples to .aif and then remap the
instrument's zone.
I could then post the updated patch, so Windows users should be fine too.
And then, Windows users should use WinRar to extract the files, WinZip just
won't let you do it.

Apart from that, the samples seem to sound VERY nice from what I can tell so
far, so it's most likely worth all the effort!

Thanks a lot,
Sascha
