Hi
I've had to reformat and reinstall everything recently and was unable to
save the old Sampler Instrument folder.
I have a very large Akai sample library on another HD and am now wondering
how to reconnect EXS24 with it...
Do I really have to re-import all that again from the CDs?
Thanks for any help

No, just create an alias to the folder that the .exs files are in and 
put it in your new valid Sampler Instruments folder.

Then, in Options make sure that EXS will look on the proper volume 
(Local or External) for the samples.

Then, each time you select an instrument in EXS, it may take a second 
to find the samples, but once it does the instrument will load quicker.

He said the old Sample Instruments folder was lost - that's most likely 
where the .exs files of the converted AKAI disks have been (the EXS places 
them there automatically), so I'm afraid all that's left is the extracted 
audio files. In that case, the conversions have to be redone indeed.

Yes, Saacha, 'all that's left is the extracted audio files', and now 40Go of Cds to re-import.
I think I'll copy the Sampler Instrument folder to the external HD next time to avoid this sort of thing!
Thanks for the info,
Doug

Yeah, that's highly recommended. I'm doing a backup of my own instruments 
folder like once a week (depending whether there's new stuff in it or not). 
After all, they're not wasting too much space, so there's always space for 
them on one of my several external drives. I do as well backup my samples, 
which is a bit more tricky as over the years, they've become quite a lot, 
but at least I only have to do that for "self-created" material.

Hi Garth,

I just tried translating from Roland Sx format to EXS24 and 
Translator crashes every time.
I select an S550 disk image and click the Translate button. It starts 
to translate then crashes.

I have attached the crash report plus 2 example files.

Regards - Colin

Sorry for the last post - it was supposed to go directly to Chicken Systems....

Thanks, this was for the Mac beta.

I got your email and files and I put it through Bug Reports so it's 
categorized.
