EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I imported some Roland Sample libraries using a conversion package on 
the PC.  Then I brought the files over to my mac via CDR then placed 
the .exs file and the sample in the Sample instruments folder 
(located in the logic folder).  When i select the sound under the 
EXS24 (it does show up in the menu) it says it can't find the 
associated files (or something to that effect) and doesn't give me an 
option to point it in the right direction.  


Also when i opened the instrument editor and looked in the folder 
with the newly created .exs files it didn't see anything.  i'm 
stumped. 

How to i make this work?  I'm using Logic 4.7.2.
on a G4.
thanks a bunch.

Jer, how do you make this work? I don't see how EXS could miss this - it 
would seem like a significant bug if it misses these.

In the .exs file, the path info is stored. Path's on the PC are down with 
backslashes as delimiters, whereas the Mac uses colons. It seems to me that 
the Mac should do what the PC does, which is immediately recognize that the 
path is invalid, and start searching for the file name (which would be 
"brass horn.wav" or something like that. Since the Mac character scheme is 
wider than the PC's, I can't think of many or any file names that would be 
misrepresented.

(I don't have Logic/EXS/Mac at the moment to figure this out...)

Garth,
nice of you to join in...hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this.  
thanks for the help.

Hi folks,

It seems like the voting for features has slowed down to a stop so 
I'll close the 2 polls at the end of Friday. If you haven't voted 
yet, take a look here:

Thanks for all your input.
Hopefully Emagic will take note - they usually do.

Robert, you were correct.  It was the Macintosh truncating the names 
from the Joliet CD.  Thanks.

I was able to find a system extention on the web that allows the Mac 
to read the full length file name of Joliet formatted CD's.  All 
worked well after that.

There is a new problem now...i'll start a new thread.
thanks again.

sorry, i should have posted the link...

the current version of the extention is freeware.  it works great.
