EXS slows down Logic boot!!
2001-08-09 by Roger Jackson
I'm surprised that no-one seems to have mentioned the fact that when you have converted several discs for use with EXS Logic takes a loooong time to scan them all every time you boot, whether you are using them in that song or not. I feel it would be much better to be able to audition the sounds - maybe even sample only, then load in only what you need. But as it is, you have to have everything there in sampler instruments which have to be scanned every time. Compare the funcionality of Akai 5000 and its USB card giving you storage of all the parameters on the computer along with the song, and you only load in what you need. Emu are coming up with a similar arrangement too.
