I just loaded my 2 new libraries to my EXS24 folders, both BackBeat and Stark Raving Beats, and as soon as I had them converted and into the appropriate folders, I went to load a session, and I could not get EXS24 to load any instruments. So I took Stark Raving Beats out of my "Sampler Instruments" folder, leaving BackBeat inside, and EXS24 was working properly again. I proceeded to test taking one folder out, and putting another folder in, to see if one of my new libraries was causing the problem, I couldn't isolate it to a particular folder, but I coulld see that a particular folder count had an effect on whether or not EXS24 was working for me. I had "65" main instrument folders in my "Sampler Instruments" folder. That seemed to be the magic number that caused EXS24 not to load instruments. I read on the Emagic Infoweb that there was a 1000 file limit within a "Sampler Instument" sub-folder, but not a limit to the number of folders themselves. I have since grouped and organized my Sampler Instruments folders to a lower total number, and all seems to be working well for now.......
