EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi:  I've recently updated Logic Audio to OSX after using previously 
in OS9.  When I try to access some samples, Logic asks which sample I 
want to use and shows not just the OS9 sample folder, but also 2 
sample folder options in OSX (Users/Data/...) - my question is, where 
should the .exs file go (within Logic's folder?) and where should 
the .aif or .wav files go?  I have my suspicions, but wanted to ask 
advice from people with properly working setups.  

My second related problem is now that it won't always connect with 
the samples and though I choose a preset, it still plays the simple 
sine-wave-esque sound that I believe is it's default.  I think this 
is because the program just isn't connecting with the correct 
folder?  (He asked hopefully...)

Also, what's the max size of sample preset EXSP can address?  Is it 
just limited to the amount of available RAM in the machine?  For 
example, I'd like to try the Pro Samples Steinway sample set but am 
worried that they may be too large to be used correctly in EXSP?

Thanks in advance,
C

Julie, try this link-a handbell library for 29 balloons for the Giga-easily converted to 
EXS I believe...

I've recently added several large Gigasampler libraries, and am neck-deep 
in the tedious conversion process. I'd love to start some communications 
with anybody who has experience (or interest in) bringing PMI Bosendorfer 
290, Garritan Orchestral Strings,  London Orchestral Percussion and other 
big Giga libraries into EXS24 Mac.  It would be particularly useful if 
someone who actually has Gigasampler could get involved.

I know Ned and Julie use some of these libraries, but there must be others. 
We could share files, experiences and whatever else, possibly off-list if 
it gets too annoying for the group. I have CDXtract and Translator for both 
PC and Mac, and also have an FTP.

If anyone's interested, please post to the list first so we can gather as 
many people as possible.  Thanks!
