You don't have to copy the .wav files to disk. Just make sure the "Use 
Source Samples for the Dest Programs" check box is unchecked; that way, the 
samples get copied to whatever location you choose under Sample Destination 
Folder, and then Translator writes those new locations into the .exs files 
it creates.

This avoids Logic looking for the files.

Remember that also you can choose AIFF in the EXS Options tab to 
automatically convert the S-5000 .wav files to normal AIFF files while they 
are being copied. AIFF files tend to have less hassles in Macs.

If you have any other issues, please contact Chicken Systems support. This 
weekend we are giving away free sandwiches to every 9th caller, and will 
enter you into a drawing for a Caribbean cruise.

Thanks Garth

But even with the  "Source SAmple for the Dest Programs" unchecked, the 
samples dont copy to the Sample Destination Folder.

After that i copied manually the .WAV files to the "destinantion 
folder" and  then when i select the instrument in nthe EXS24 it crash 
again....

I tried also to convert to AIFF the .WAV files but then the EXS24 asks 
for .wav referenced files.

What should i do now?

Here's part of my other post:

You aren't passing on the sandwiches, are you? =) No, really, I've emailed 
you asking some questions and asking some things.

Hi all,

I just noticed White Grand by sampletekk being available for ESX now.
I haven't bought it myself (yet) But the demo's sound absolutely 
amazing to me.
(nope, not connected to sampletekk in anyway..)

Cheers,

Arvid.

Correct! Also, since we had an introduction offer when releasing the
other formats, you can get a 10% discount when buying from our online
store. Just use the code WG332 in the coupon field when checking out and
youäll get the discount (only for a limited time).
I’ll make some demos using the EXS24 version if you like.
 
Per
www.sampletekk.com

Ok, here’s a mp3 made using the 16 bit version of the White Grand EXS24
MkII version:
 
www.sampletekk.com/proddemos/WG/StellaEXS24.mp3.
Compsition, “Stella by Moonlight” performed by Richard Krull

Thanks for the effort!
It still sounds wonderful!
I'd like to be able to use the piano on a G5, for which the 24 bit 
version will be no problem,
but I'd also like to be able to use it on an iBook G4 (with an external 
HD)
Would I have to order a seperate 16-bit version for that? Or do you 
think the iBook can handle the 24-bit version?

Bravo Per!  I ordered the White last week.  Can't wait for it to  
arrive.  Thanks for the EXS version.

Hi Per,
Sorry to disturb your Saturday night, but my new EXS version of the White
Grand arrived today.  I installed it.  Immediately used Redmatica's
EXSManager to fix all the file references so it wouldn't take a half hour to
load and here is the result.

I load it into a stereo instance of the EXS with Virtual Memory on so it
streams and doesn't load the whole thing into memory.  Even with
EXSManager's corrections, it takes about a minute and a half to load.
Still, there are a lot of big samples, so I will assume for now that this is
normal.

Now the shocker...all I hear on all notes is white noise.  Whoosh whoosh
whoosh.  I click on edit and open up the EXS editor for the White Grand,
randomly select a note to open it's zone parameters, click on it's assigned
sample which quickly takes me to the original sample.  In the ensuing
dialog, I press the play button and the note sounds perfectly.  I press the
same corresponding note on my midi keyboard and get white noise.

To be sure nothing else was going on, I trashed the logic prefs, checked out
three or four other EXS instruments from my HD and all instruments played
normally.  I then repaired OSX Panther 10.3.3 permissions and rebooted the
computer.  No luck.  Still white noise.  Opened the HD that had the White
samples on it.  Navigated to some random White Grand notes, used Panther's
preview pane to test them, and all samples played normally.

I then created a new EXS instrument, created a new zone, randomly selected a
White Grand sample, and it played fine.  The only thing I can imagine is
that the two EXS White Grand instruments were corrupted on the DVDs you sent
me. 

If you believe that is the case, the simple solution is to send me a fresh
copy of the two EXS White Grand instrumnents (obviously not the samples).
Since the files are just over a meg, my email client will probably not allow
them, so I've given you a folder on my website to upload them to.  Use Fetch
or a similar FTP program enter the following exactly as typed here (no caps)
Host:  rampagemusic.net
Username:  per@...
Password: larsson

Ignore the folder in there and just drop the two files into the main
directory that the program takes you to.  Please stuff them in a binhex mode
to prevent any internet corruption.

If you think they aren't corrupted and there is something else going on,
please let me know.  I hate when these things happen.  I was so anxious to
start using it tonight!
