Hi,
This is my first post to this group. I finally have a problem I can't
solve by either searching previous messages or by reading the manual.
I have Logic Pro 7.1 and GigaStudio Orchestra 3. Gigastudio comes
with two discs of samples from the Vienna Symphonic Library. On the
discs, the samples are stored in two folders, 16 bit and 24 bit.
Following the procedure in the Logic manual, I am trying to convert
these samples and instruments to the EXS format. I loaded the files
into the Sample Instrument folder in the Application Support folder
of my user Library folder. I open an instrument in the EXS, and it
converts the instrument and samples. Here is the problem. The
instruments in the 16 bit folder convert extremely well. However, the
instruments in the 24 bit folder do not convert correctly. The
samples convert just fine, since I can load them into the audio
window and play them. It is the instrument files that are getting
mangled. For example, none of the key mapping seems to be converted
correctly, since playing any pitch on the keyboard produces the same
pitch. Also, when the instrument is a violin pitzz., the sound that
results is a sustained violin. All the Giga instruments are bank
files. The structure of the files seems to convert correctly, since
the EXS instrument has the .bk ending and each bank contains the
correct instruments. Is there something I am missing in the
conversion process?
I have a 1.8 GHz G5 with OS X 10.4.2, 2 gigs of Ram. Any help would
be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
