EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I have Logic 5.5.1 and I have not used samplers much in the past. I 
now want to get my EXS24 activated so I called a UK Emagic 
distributor for a code.

He told me they stopped selling them for PCs 6 months ago and the 
only way I could get one now would be to buy Logic 7 !! Is he having 
a laugh ?!!!!!! So I have to buy an Apple computer and Logic 7 just 
to get the EXS24 !!!

Does anyone know a way I can get this thing working on my PC ????

Its a diabolical liberty, I understand that Emagic no longer deal 
with PCs but I spent over £500 quid for a legitimate setup and know 
I am getting no help at all on my fully legal system, just because I 
did not activate all of the software available at that time, these 
plugins cost money though !!!!!

Thanks for any help in advance.

Maybe a mail or a call to Emagic helps?
The website is still available and the claim to continue support...

I dropped the Dutch distributor a line. They still have the service to
buy an upgrade to Logic 6.4 (Mac) which included all the activations of
plugins for Logic Windows, including EXS.

But you need to be very fast, because they are clearing stock next week!
Maybe they sell to the UK, dunno.

I will send you their e-mail off-list. Good luck!

If at first you don't succeed. . .  Try getting in touch with the Apple/Emagic sales and tech folks here in the U.S.  You may in fact be too late, but it's worth a try.  I'm a PC user as well and have been extremely lucky to have gotten authorization codes for the EXS24 and other virtual instruments for the version of Logic 5 Platinum I purchased a few months ago.  You should note that if you call Apple/Emagic you will almost certainly have a much easier time of getting through to the sales division than if you were to try to call the tech support side.  I have never placed a call to tech support which didn't involve being put on hold for at least a half hour (and usually more!) before getting to talk to a tech rep.

If you like, I can give you more specific info.  Feel free to e-mail me directly.  John F.
