EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I am trying to use the virtual instrument samples in Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra 
collection. They have recently been optimized for EXS users and can be used in Logic. But I 
cannot locate most of the intruments.

I am using Logic Express 7.1 and I cannot find the Edit menu within the EXSP 24 window. This 
is necessary because the various instruments have files originally based on hardware 
concepts that require you to press a physical key on a controller to choose certain 
instruments.

In order to see these keys, you have to edit the instrument in the EXSP 24 window from the 
Edit menu. I can't find such a menu and I can't figure out how to get to an sampler edit 
window anywhere. I'd appreciate any pointers.

YOu can't see what isn't there, I am afraid. The EXSP is a sample 
player. In order to be able to edit you need the full EXS24, which is 
part of the Logic Pro package. You can upgrade from express to pro.

HTH, kind regards

So that's what the P stands for. Thanks for this info. I kind of suspected as much. I've been 
putting it off, but I guess I'll have to face the inevitable and fork over another $700 bucks 
since the kinds of things I'm doing now obviously require the big daddy version. 
Meanwhile I just learned that the Garritan sample library can now be used in GarageBand, 
which is hardly Logic Pro but a great deal more fun. Wouldn't it be nice if Apple could just 
somehow merge all their music software in to something as easy to use as GB yet with all 
the bells and whistles of Logic Pro with an asking price under $500. Dream on!

Thanks again,
