EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Where are the sample instrument files located in OSX?  My manual is for the 
OS9 VST version of the EXSP24, and it says to put them in the VST 
instruments folder, which I don't have.

The factory presets are in a folder called EXSP24FactorySoundset inside my 
Shared folder.  I also have an EXSP24 Samples folder inside the Shared 
folder, but nothing shows up on the selection list.  There's a  Sample 
Instruments folder inside my Logic 6 Series folder, but that has the same 
problem.  None of this makes sense to me, why is it in the shared folder in the 
first place, and why is there an "EXSP24 Samples" folder if the sample player 
doesn't even look in there?  For instance: if I put the Factory Soundset folder 
inside the EXSP Samples folder, all the selections dissapear from the list.   
rrrrrrrrrrrgggg.

AFAIK OSX and OS9 are the same in this regard: sampler instruments 
(.exs files) should go in the Sampler Instruments folder which is in 
your Logic application folder.  The samples themselves can be put 
anywhere on your system and will be found when you load an instrument 
for the 1st time.

I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say nothing shows up in the
"selection list."  Hendrik is right in that the SAMPLES can go anywhere, and
the EXSP will find them.  I however, have all my INSTRUMENTS in the in the
SHARED folder.  Not the SHARED folder in my home folder, but the general
SHARED folder just inside the USERS folder.

If I move any instruments outside this folder, they are not accessible to
Logic, so that seems to be the only place you can safely put the .exs
(instrument) files.  The .aif (sample) files can go anywhere.

So if you are saying that your .exs files are in the right SHARED folder and
don't show up when you try to load a new instrument into the EXSP GUI, then
I don't know what to tell you.  Except that you have to quit Logic and
reload it if you want it to find instruments you have just moved into that
location.
