EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

there is a reference on the internet for a freeware sf2 to exs
converter by Mikael Persson / Soundware. His website is no longer in
existence. Does anyone have a copy of this free program? If so, can
you post it to the group or email it to me?

Thanks,

 - Joel

Is a program necessary? EXS24 can import .sf2 on its own. Put the .sf2 file into

~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments/

Start Logic, insert EXS24 in an instrument channel, load up the soundfont2 file, and EXS24
will convert it to .exs for you.

I have Logic Express, EXSP24, I don't think it will load .sf2, will it?

Pretty sure it will, havn't used express for a while, but i think it does.... Just checked the 
express 7 manual and it says yes. Express 8 has EXS24 so it definitely can..

Logic Express 8 has the EXS24, but Logic Express 7 only has the EXS24P
(player only), AFAIK, u can only play EXS34 instruments...no converting...

Thanks for your replies.

So does this mean that nobody has a copy of SF2EXS.exe? It is too bad
that a useful free utility like that would have disappeared from the
net with no trace.

Thanks,

according to the manual you can....

"Importing SoundFont2 Files 
To make use of this functionality, simply copy or move your SoundFont2 files into the 
Sampler Instruments folder. 
Select the file name in the EXSP24 Sampler Instrument load flip-menu and the file will 
automatically be converted. An EXS Instrument file will be created in the Sampler 
Instruments folder which contains the original SoundFont2 file. The raw samples 
associated with the Sampler Instrument will be placed in a SoundFont Samples folder 
within the Logic program folder. "

Thanks, big time for that information,

 I'll let you know how it works.
