EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Greetings all,

     I just wanted to know how everyone here programs their custom 
drum samples on the EXS24.  I'm not sure if its like this for 
everyone, but for me, browsing through drum samples on the EXS24 is 
painfully slow.  It seems to take about 1-2 seconds to load and 
preview the drum samples.  Is their another way to load drum samples 
into zones?  Also, how can you get Hi-Hats to choke on different 
velocity groups.  I know how to do it for one group and 1 note 
polyphony, but how can you do it for, let's say, a 6 layer velocity 
hi-hat group?

     I guess what I'm looking for is to preview drum samples quickly 
before I load them, similiar to all other soft samplers can.  I 
really would much rather use EXS24 for drums because of its 
stability as opposed to AU-VST wrapped RMIV, NI Battery and Ritmo.  
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi everyone,
I upgraded to panther last week.  Seemed painless enough.  Today I took 
my laptop to a gig along with my mt4.  I plugged into a keyboard and 
started Logic up.  I play the keyboard...mt4 sees midi....Logic doesn't 
see the mt4.  I go to my preferences and "reset all midi drivers"  This 
usually fixes issues like this.  I opened Audio Midi setup and the mt4 
is dimmed in the application...the mt4 is offline.  I redo the hookups 
...no luck.  I rescan for midi devices...no luck.  The mt4 is still 
recieving midi. Logic doesn't see the mt4.  I checked the emagic site 
and was assured that the mt4 is still compatible with panther.  I 
thought I might need to download a driver or something.   What is going 
on?  any clues?

By the way.  When I got back home and plugged everything in...the 
problem followed me.

Thanks in advance,
julie


I'm running Panther 10.3.2 with Logic 6.3.2.

Hi Julie

This question is really more suited for the main Logic Users Group - 
I suggest you post it over there

kind regards

You're probably right Mark...you guys are just so responsive.  
Anyway...I solved the problem.  midi drivers.  I had just assumed that 
new drivers for emagic interfaces would be included in upgrades to 
Logic...

Thanks,
julie

Glad you solved it so quickly. FTR, I am running an MT4 and have booted into
Panther with Logic and it all worked fine (although I still work in OS 9
when doing "real work").

Yes, I made sure to get the latest midi drivers from the Emagic site. I was
going to offer to email them to you in case you couldn't access them. Glad
to see it's not necessary.

That is the version I am using. AFAIK, it is the most current one available;
and it works fine with my MT4 in Panther.

Isn't there a 'play' button in the file-open dialog?  Or is this only 
the case when opening samples in the sample editor?

If you have 6 velo-layered zones and assign them all to the same 
group (which thus consists of just those 6 zones), can't you simply 
set the group's polyphony to 1 then?

I guess the trick is to make up the prgrams full of drum smaples 
beforehand and save them off that way all you have to do to chekc out 
different sounds is to move from one program to another within the 
sampler.

Its really HUGELY easy to load up samples into a program when in edit 
mode - and let the EXS24 choose its own note values.....

re the choke issue - just make sure that you put all the hihats into 
the same group and make sure it is set to mono (1 note only) that way 
at any one time you will only get one of the samples playing - just 
like real life! :O)
