EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Julie and Jon,

Although the .gig files do show up as SimpleText files, EXS _will_ 
recognize them. This is how I have dealt with the Garritan String 
Orchestra, and the free G-Town .gig files I've downloaded:

1. drag the file from cd or from your desktop into your Sampler Instruments 
folder
2. If Logic is already running, don't forget to hit 'refresh list' in your 
EXS, or else it won't know that you've added a new file to your instrument list
3. select your new .gig instrument, and wait while EXS 'translates' the data
4. voila
5. consider getting rid of the original .gig file, as Logic has just made 
an EXS version of that data in a folder called 'DLS-Giga Samples', so you 
now have one too many files (and .gig files do tend to take up a lot of 
room - I deleted almost 6 gigs of doubled files this morning...)

Don't be nervous about the fact that they are Txt files. The important 
thing, I think, is the .gig extension at the end of the names of the files.

As for the .rar compression format, you can deal with it easily with

PS: when, I wonder, will we get a new EXS manual update?
