EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

thanks Mardy,
I converted the whole CD this mornng and still have clicks.  Don't get it
except that I've seen people have trouble with discs that I never had
trouble with.  The clicks sound like the clicks you get when an audio edit
isn't quite right.  Not all the samples in an instrument have it.  About
half.  I went into the waveform and can't seem to improve it by changing the
start point to the next zero crossing.  I guess I'm heading for a third
party converter.  Thanks again for the suggestion.

Julie

hi Julie,
I've converted the ultimate piano collection. It works perfectly.
The best thing is to convert the entire CD at once. Or at least every
partition.
BTW thanks for the tip on copy-paste when merging instruments!
To obvious I guess:-)

"I converted the whole CD this mornng and still have clicks"
-----------------

i had loads of clicks on several discs worth of conversions pre 
4.7. its way better since i re-converted post 4.7.(still some there 
though...) the clicks im getting are all at the ends of samples, the 
end points hadnt translated properly it seems. i was told by 
chickensys that this was an error in the original files which only 
became apparent once the files were ported to the exs format. i 
cant vouch for the truth of that but i have no reason to doubt it.
as far as im aware chickensys are working on a mac 
programme to deal with these kinds of issues. i recommend 
getting in touch with them about your experiences and also 
contacting the makers of the disc you're having problems with 
and explaining whats going on, that you've heard its an original 
file issue, and do they have any recommendations for you.
the problems you're having may not be related to those ive been 
experiencing, but thats my penny's worth anyway :)

On the Roland sampler series there was a unique loop feature called reverse
looping. It was possible to make the sample play forward and backwards
between the loop points set. Wouldn't it  be cool to have that in the EXS?

YES!.  excuse me for shouting.  I couldn't contain myself.

U mean, the first in the normal play and the reverse at the end of the
Sample ??
NO, this is not possible ( well i think, julie ;o), all the sample Yes but
not in the two direction....
igor

At least two hardware samples do this. I think Julie means it would be cool
if the EXS did also. I agree.

Translator supports this translation into EXS-24 by altering the wavedata 
to accurately simulate this effect. Three samplers do bidirectional looping 
- Roland, Ensoniq, and Kurzweil.
