EXS24 in LAMP V5 - trouble loading instruments?
2002-03-03 by technodork_2000
Has anyone experienced any problems with Logic 5 and the EXS24. Just upgraded from 4.8.1, and EXS is taking a painstakingly long time to load. I have transferred my EXS libraries to new machines in the past, so I know initially the instruments have to be rescanned and found etc., etc. I started off with the EXS demo library that is built into the V5.0 upgrade. Worked fine. I then transferred in my 20-25gb library of Sampler Instruments and EXsamples, just drug from old V4 folders into V5 folders. Reloaded EXS, now when I choose an instrumen, nothing happens, there appears to be no searching or processing of any kind, I waited for upwards of 5-10 minutes, and nothing happened. I ran another test, I emptied my V5 EXS instruments and samples foldrers, and just left one folder say :"Distorted Reality" in the folder, reloaded EXS worked fine, I then added another folder of the EXS Factory Instruments, worked fine, then I dropped the whole library in again, no go? Are there any limitations on EXS24 initially in V5.0? It seems I read in the manual that full REX2 support in EXS was not in place until the official install of EXS happened(entering codes into XSkey). I also noticed a folder at the very top of my patch lists from the pull down menu in EXS called "untitled". The submenus of this "untitled" folder appear to have a carbon copy of my entire EXS patch library. Does anyone know what this folder is for? I couldn't seem to get rid of it? Does it anything to do with saving EXS samples with your song? Sorry if this all obvious, after several hours of tweaking, I am clueless?
