EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello-

just received Steinway D from PMI and cannot get Logic to recognize it.

I've tried  installing the entire Steinway folder in
Users> Library> Application Support> Logic> Sampler Instruments
  and then tried
same as the above but with the folder "K2 Steinway D FULL Samples" > EX 
Samples folder.

How to set things up so that the piano is available in EXS?
thanks,
Larry in S, Oregon

You do not need to put the whole folder in

Users> Library> Application Support> Logic> Sampler Instruments

Just put the EXS instrument/s in there (the samples can go anywhere)

Going further, the EXS instruments can be anywhere as well, but they 
must be "connected" to the Sample Instruments folder via an alias.

For example, if your .exs files are in a folder called "PMI" on a 
drive other then your boot drive, make an alias of that folder, then 
move that alias in the Sampler Instruments folder. The folder will 
then show up in the EXS popup menu.

That way, the EXS can find any file anywhere on your system, without 
putting any actual data in the Sampler Instruments folder.

What I do is I have an alias to the Sample Instruments on my desktop, 
and I just drag fodler aliases in and out of it at will. I also have 
a Sampler Instruments (disabled) alias so I can control how many 
things exist on the popup menu, I just shuttle the aliases back and 
forth as needed.
