EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

We were all missing the point here. What he wants is two songs to access the
EXACT same EXS24 instruments. This is not possible as all VST/Logic
Instruments are song-specific and not a global resource. The same exact
instruments can't possibly be accessed in this way. As nice as this would
be, it's more important for me to be able to save every parameter per song.
If both ways of doing things were permitted, that would be great. But if I
have to choose one way or the other, the current system is better for me.
What is being requested here is really multiple sequences (subsongs)
accessing a single song file's resources. No one does this from any company
as far as I know. You could use various songs in packed folders. Actually,
that might work very well. Write a song, pack the folder in the arrange
window. And Mute the songs you don't want to trigger. Always keep a generic,
ready-to-go packed folder to start new songs. You'd have a lot of midi data
in your file (make lots of frequent back ups since you would have so much
riding on this single file). This method would enable you to access the same
resources from multiple songs (the packed folders within a single logic song
file). Hope this helps. It's the only way your idea will work. -Jer
