EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi..I was wondering if anyone knows if you can create ultrabeat samples with 
the EXS??They have a ubs. exstension and I haven't found any mention of a 
way to make your own in the L7 manual..Any body know about if it can be 
done.Or if it;s a file that can only be made by Apple>Co..T

I like to make samples from the ES1 and ES2 soft synths. I do this 
by accessing the sound via MIDI, bouncing the triggered sound to 
disk and then editing the sound. A bit of work I suppose but it 
works.

Hi Matt.I know many formats can be loaded but the ones that come with 
ultrabeat have the ability to crossfade via velocity..When a wav/aiff/etc file is 
used you don't get the option to load two samples and velocity switch 
them..With the ubs files you load ONE and get two samples that are able to be 
adjusted independently as far as velocity swithching goes..It must be some 
new format.It's not mentioned in anything I've read so far in the logic7 
manual...Thanks..T

Good question!
Have you tried posting on the Apple/Logic forum?

Unfortunately, the manual seems to indicate this can't be done:
User-supplied samples loaded into Ultrabeat cannot be separated into 
velocitydependent
layers, and therefore the Vel Layer slider has no effect on samples you have
created and imported.

If so, this is very user-exclusive and as such....sucks!

Funny thing: if you double click a .ubs file Logic crashes... hehe so 
much for open format.

I admit it would make Ultrabeat even more useful if we were able to 
fill it with our own samples. Or samples from other libraries.

I just love the way you can deal with drum sounds in Ultrabeat... but 
I have cooler sounds than the ones supplied... :-)

at least I think so...

I read here:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@770.0SZdaAVkN3m.0@.68a56ce1
that one can make a 'single note' layered patch with EXS...
then import that into  UltraBeat...
Sounds cool... Haven't tried it YET.

??
If you  make a multi-layered "patch" or rather instrument in EXS24, 
it is just that - a patch. I still don't see how Ultrabeat can use 
this info.

Does EXS24 have some secret way of creating a multilayered AUDIO file?
