EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi friends -- my first post -- I've been lurking and learning from you all for many, many 
moons, and I thank you for that!

I'm running L7, using the Opus 1 Orchestra samples from VSL on the exs24.  

I just loaded into the exs24 an instance of one of the VSL viola section instruments (I tried 
several) and received the following window:

"File not found
Result code = -43"

No sound.

I reinstalled the instrument and its appropriate samples from the original discs, rebooted, 
and still have had no luck.

Any thoughts?  

With thanks, and greetings from Toronto!

-  Jim

I ran across something about this in the LUG archive a few weeks ago.  
I have had "File not found" messages relating to fade files...result 
code 38.  Never found an answer to that one.  They wouldn't let me post 
it here.  It wasn't specifically an EXS issue....so I had to post on 
LUG...no luck.   You're right....this is a great list.    but...I did 
find an answer to your problem in the LUG archive....sorry....I can't 
remember it....but it's there.

Hi Jim,

Scan your drives with Project manager. Or better yet, buy EXS manager from www.redmatica.com .

Best,

Andy

However, I don't think this is the answer to the original poster's problem.
I agree with the Project Manager/Redmatica suggestion as a first stop.

I have also had strange stuff lately with folders on drives other 
than my system drive having "wrong" permissions which block access to 
files.
I solve this as follows:
Get info on the drive.
Near the bottom of the info window (above comments), check the box 
which says "ignore permissions on this volume".

??? Maybe this will help.

I'm not very familiar with EXS nor Logic7 right now, 
so I export the track as an .aif, open it in Audacity 
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ 
create a fade within a blink of an eye and drag it back...

As for external discs, I had the internal disc replaced with a larger Apple one, put the old one in a box, both discs are recognized as Apple, got the picture?
Anyway, in disc utility, formatting an external disc under OS X extended (journaled) should solve the problem

I agree, it's a shame, after putting so much money in it, we still have to waste our precious creative time in thinking about binary code and compilers, is greed really good?
But don't u worry, in them Sawtoothtiger days there will come a solution, even for musicians...
In the meantime try tihs:

There's even a list of translated error codes on Apple's website, sorry I've forgotten where...
