Logic Audio Gold Mac 4.8.1 EXS24 Mac G4 733 Quicksilver, 1.152 GB Ram Mac OS 9.2.1 Motu 828 Firewire Emagic AMT8 SoundScan Volume 10 Acoustic Drums Akai s1000 CD The CD is a mixed mode Akai CD ROM and Audio Tracks First of all, I avoided the problems with the CD not being recognized by EXS24 because it is mixed mode. The first method that worked for me was to disable the Apple CD/DVD drivers, and the second method was to burn a new Akai CD in Toast 4.2, but by first DELETING the audio tracks. This method in Toast 4.2 is tricky (I couldn't do this in Toast 5.1.3) - I had to directly burn by reading from one CD drive, and burning to another CDRW drive straight-away. since my Mac OS would never recognize an Akai CD, even in disk image format (Toast Disk Image or Apple Disk Copy) the direct read and burn method was necessary. Nonetheless, I succeeded to get the EXS24 to recognize the Akai CD with no problems after either of these workarounds. Problem: After I do an Akai Import of the above CD through the EXS24, certain individual drum hits in the complete GM drumkits will contain a "double trigger", and certain other notes will be empty (no sample). In other words, when I play the note F#1 or G1 (Zone 13, RAW1TOMF1 -LR), - the note contains only one velocity hit, and it sounds like a double hit on the drum head. How do I fix this? I looked at the actual stereo sample, and when I play back the actual sample by itself, it sounds fine and doesn't have a double hit. So the samples themselves were imported just fine. Somehow the mapping got messed up, and I can't figure how to fix it. By the way, I also used Osmosis to convert the Akai CD into Samplecell format, and then utilized the Samplecell format from within the EXS24 - this solution worked better (no empty notes), but i still get the "double triggers." I tried an EXS24 Akai Conversion with the Merge Programs parameter off, and another with the Merge Programs parameter turned on - it didn't make any difference. Please advise how I can clean up this mistaken "double trigger" in the zone or mapping of the EXS24. Thank you!
