EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I'll gladly convert the rest of those patches - but it's gonna take a while
as I'm in holidays for two weeks (finally I may learn to surf, let's see how
the weather south of Biarritz is going to be like...). So maybe someone
else's gotta do it.

A good time to all of you,
Sascha

Sascha, or anyone else doing Hollow Sun conversions, before we get 
any more duplicates: I intend to do the following today or tomorrow:

Arp 2600
Arp String ensemble
Arp Pro Soloist
Memory Moog
Moog Opus
Polymoog
Prophet VS1

I want to purchase some sample CDs. Akai is a sort of standard format so I'm
just wondering if people have successfully converted Akai to EXS. Was much
tweaking required afterwards?

Also, a classical pianist friend of mine came around last night and I asked
him to comment on the "pianoness" of a solo piano piece I'd written using
Logic and the EXS default piano. He has a pretty discerning ear and said it
sounded "a bit" like a piano (bear in mind that he wasn't commenting on the
music, only the timbral quality) . His main criticism was of the lower
notes. As crude as this sounds, would boosting the lower frequencies help?

Would anyone recommend a kick ass piano CD? The EXS default sounds quite
good already so I'd be after something that was substantially better.

Andris

Andris,
 
You may want to check out the Bardstown Bosendorfer Imperial Grand 
Model 290.  This piano was programmed and built from scratch in 
EXS24.  There are many mp3 demos of this beautiful sampled piano on 
our web site, plus a lot of other useful information as well.  
www.bardstownaudio.com

If you like the sound of a Yamaha, Vintaudio's Yamaha C7 in EXS24 
format is another good piano to consider as well.  www.vintaudio.com

Hi Andris.
 
The White Grand from SampleTekk comes in native EXS24 format.
Besides having a great sound, it also has 16 velocity samples pedal up
and 16 pedal down (+ 4 release samples).
No other sampled piano in the market comes close to this.
IMHO this gives the White Grand a dynamic response that’s unequalled and
gives the instrument a feel and playability that’s hard to match.
WH recently got a 10/10 review in Swedish magazine “Studio”, (first time
the magazine gives a “10” ever!), and it also has got a 4/5 review in
“Sound on Sound”.
Check out demos and more info on www.sampletekk.com
<http://www.sampletekk.com/> , or if you have any other questions,
please contact me directly at per@sampletekk.com
This month we are also celebrating summer by giving all our WG customers
a FREE piano together with WG! You canchoose between the “Studio Grand
88” and “Rain Piano”. (Value $95!) Read more about the deal and about
these two pianos at our site.
 
Best,
Worra

Sascha's Ensoniq Q80 conversions were incomplete -- some pads plus 
key-spike or something.  I couldn't understand the reasoning behind 
it (Sascha?), so I threw those conversions out and replaced them with 
a full set of SQ80 conversions.

My favourite must be the Theremin... if anyone cares... :)  Play 
legato and use modwheel for volume control.  Happy downloading.
