EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Greetings,

What's the status of the issues with the "Old Lady" piano samples? Is this a
problem that everyone has, or did it turn out to be something platform or
sampler specific? Please keep us updated.

Thanks,
-Mark

Here's the fix for the Old Lady Note cut-off problem;

Load an Old Lady Instance (preferably a copy)
open the exs editor,
select all samples,
go to "Zone/Update selected Zone(s) info from Audio file/"

That's it

That is indeed it. I can finally play with no notes cutting off.  
Brilliant.
Michiel should post this obscure, but very necessary little trick on  
the PMI website.

Peter Ostry, I wonder if this fixes your B1 problem.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to help out. What a great  
resource we have here.

Exactly which instrument is this working on?

I've tried it on the "OLD LADY Fixed 2755"  without success - the
programme complains that "Differences were detected for 668 zones". If
I fix them all these samples (most of which are below C3) no longer
play at all.

I'd love to hear from others how they fixed this problem...

I got the same results as you and thought it stuffed it right up, but  
then I thought about the alchemy that working with software can be  
sometimes and I decided to save that (668 zone fixed) version of the  
Old Lady. Then I selected a different patch and proceeded to load  
this new Old Lady, and voila, it worked perfectly.

So, to answer your question: Do what you did, save, reload new Old Lady.
