EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I just upgraded my computer to a to a G4/1ghz machine, 1.3 gb ram. OS X 10.3.x

I currently own Logic Platinum 4.8 and EXS24, but I was thinking about upgrading to the 
current version of Logic 7 now. Logic Express seems to be in my budget but I notice it 
comes with the EXSP24 and not the EXS24....what's the difference between the 2 samplers? 
Will I still be able to create my own sample libraries? I checked the apple site and they 
really don't detail the differences between both applications.

Hi Staphanie,

AFAIC the both are - playingwise identical.
allthough - You can't edit in the EXSP24...
that means that You cant change an existing sample program to fit Your 
needs.
I'm not sure if You can use the convert function either.
That would mean that You had to use a external convertion program to 
fix that.  ( more money )
	If You really want to build up a big library - then there is no way 
around the "hardware-formats" -
     ( AKAI, EMU, (giga)...  etc )
allthough,   this group seems to have a certain urge to convert 
everything to EXS ( which is nice ),
so maybe that won't be nessecary...        ;   )

It costs $300 to upgrade from Platinum to Pro, doesn't it? I don't 
even think there's an upgrade from Platinum to Express, but if there 
were I sure wouldn't bother. Pro has a staggering quantity of 
features, including some really interesting synthesizers, the EVP88 
electric piano, and lots of really good plug-ins. And I mean really 
good plug-ins, like a linear phase eq, a convolution reverb, a pitch 
corrector, etc.

EXS24 lets you edit, and there have been conflicting reports over 
whether EXSP has disk-streaming.

EXSP24 in LE7 comes with a lot of great sounds/patches. I believe it it 
playback only. There's no editor. You probably want to know if you can 
port over your
existing EXS24 library. Would there be differences in file structure? 
Maybe someone else can answer.
Good luck.

No difference in reading, between EXS24 and EXSP24.
the "P" stands for "player" - it's exactly the same engine - but no 
edit functions implemented.
the  EXSP24 reads all the files that the EXS24 reads

I think Logic  Plat, even 4.8, to express is probably a downgrade not
an upgrade

Thanks everyone for the tips. Last I checked, versions of Logic 4.x or lower do not qualify 
for the $300 upgrade, so it looks like I'd have to shell out a lot more for pro, because 
editability in the EXS sampler is important for me. 

Then who even knows if Logic 7 will be stable on my 1ghz G4. We'll see..

I run a dual 1.25 GHz G4 quite successfully Stephanie so you shouldn't 
have a problem, depending on exactly what you do of course.

You CAN actually edit EXS patches without having to own the EXS or LogicPro.
The EXS editor is part of Logic and will work without the full version being
present as well. The only problem here is that you WON'T be able to listen
to your edits in realtime. So, you'd have to open the editor, do whatever
you want, save the patch and reload it into the EXSP.
From what it seems, this could become a time consuming process on, say,
chirurgical edits such as finetunings, for setting up rather basic
zone/group mappings it could however work fine.
