EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

EXS loads (err... converts that is) directly.
Put them into your "Sampler Instruments" directory.

Just to add to Sacha's post. I have converted more or less 1GB worth 
of soundfonts using the EXS24. The first released that came out only 
handled AKAI conversion so be sure to be on a recent update. 

It seems to me that, say 95%, of the conversions go well, but some of 
them ended with the zones f...ed up. Well, I wouldn't know, 'cause I 
don't know how the soundfonts were originally, but when you end up 
with an acoustic bass preset, where you have to samples on each key 
10 semitones apart, you tend to think: This is probably not how the 
soundfont programmer had envisioned it. 

Still, There are loads of soundfonts floating around for free, and 
now we can enjoy them. 

Kind regards,

You have probably converted many soundfonts that won't sound as they should
(especially considering the volume of sounds you did this with) because,
neither Halion or the EXS convert soundfonts' filter and mod properties. The
only company to do this is Rubber Chicken (Translator) at
http://www.chickensys.com/ with complete soundfont conversion due out at the
end of this month (so I've been told). This is important because nearly all
soundfont synth patches use filter/mod data to achieve the desired sound.
You may think you converted these sounds, but I can assure you, the result
is a fraction of the quality and form it should be had all the data been
converted. You may want to consider getting Translater and reconverting all
of these soundfonts. You'll hear substantial improvements on almost all
non-percussion patches.
