EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello.

I'm hearing good things about Reason, Kontact and other samplers (is
that the correct term?).  I'm noticing that a significant number of
the samples I'm interested in are available in these formats and not
necessarily EXS.  Can anyone comment about the ability to move between
some of these samplers and EXS?  Or maybe there's a way to interface
between these samplers and Logic (which would admittedly make it off
topic for the EXS group)?  I'm using OS9, so for the moment VST isn't
an option.  Also, I'm using Logic 5.5.0.  Would Logic 6 make a
difference?  Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Cheers,
Larry

Excuse me?  Logic/OS9 is very well capable of using VST/VSTi's.  It's 
Logic/OSX that can't use VST's (except when you use a wrapper that 
converts them to AU's).

Oops!  Of course you are correct, Hendrik.  Do you know if any of the 
samplers in question are compatible with Logic/OS9?  Or does one have 
to go the translation route?

Cheers,
Larry

I'm still confused...  What translation route?  If you have some VST 
sampler, you can simply dump it in the VstPlugIns folder in the 
Logic/OS9 application folder, and they should show up as available 
instruments.
In Logic/OSX you need to use the AU-versions ofsuch samplers, or use 
the vst-wrapper (3rd party, by whomever) to convert OSX-VST's to 
AU's.  The conversion needs Carbonized (OSX) VST's and won't work 
with OS9-VST's.
