EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I just made my ' first'  instrument with the EXS24.
At least, I tried.
When I created it, I heard wonderful staccato bariton sounds.
I saved it. But now I restarted Logic, the instrument is visible in the 
arrange-window, all other EXS24 sounds work fine, but not my bariton.
During the time I should hear the sound, it gives noise instead.
Could somebody give me a hand with this.

Rob

I forgot to say: the files are aiff format. Should I have converted them first?

You would think they were the same, wouldn't you? However, I have also 
noticed this odd behaviour sometimes in other applications - .aiff 
extender = noise, .aif plays back fine. If I remember correctly, simply 
removing that extra 'f' was sufficient to cure the problem.

What???  If this is true (which I suppose it is -- otherwise I would 
accuse you of lying, which I wouldn't want to be caught doing :-), 
this is completely ridiculous... The filename shouldn't matter at all 
(of course).  Oh well, I guess this fits in nicely with stuff like 
the EXS factory disk installer not finding Logic if it doesn't have 
'audio' in its name...  Sigh...

All my hope was on your solution, Guy. Thanks for your input by the way.
I changed the aiff extension to aif, did all the neccesary changes, but after a 
restart the problem was still there: noise when I touch a key, although I hear 
the sample sound somewhere very far behind the noise. 
If I press E in the editor, the sample editor opens and I can play the sound with 
no problems.

Maybe Michael Haydn could shine his light on this problem.
I couldn't find anything on Infoweb about this eighter.

You're very welcome. I'm only sorry that it didn't work for you in this 
instance. i hope you do manage to find a solution.
