EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Here's a basic logic/exs operation quesiton for anyone who'd like to
answer.
I've got a song with several exs instruments loaded in.  I like all the
logic settings, so I'd like to make a copy as a template, but without
all the exs instruments.  What's the quickest way to delete all the
instruments?  I've learned that to simply remove the channel from the
arrange or mixer window does not remove the instrument from memory, and
I've learned (only took one mistake!) that "delete instrument" in exs
COMPLETELY removes the instrument- erases it from all memory.

Suggestions?
Thanks.

Go to the audio configuration page and go to one of the pull down menu's
(can't remember which one) - Then remove plug in's.

As the instruments are plug ins they will disappear.

Unfortunately so will all of the other plug ins...

Maybe there needs to be a "remove all instruments"  setting.

Emagic?

Ever since I dumped OMS in lieu of Unitor8 with direct Logic support, I have
not able to disable the knobs of my SuperNova (for example) from sending
messages both to Logic as well as back to itself. This has caused me many
problems and inconveniences. As a result, I leave the controller inputs to
my outboard synths unplugged unless I absolutely require them to be attached
for a specific purpose. What I would like to know (off-topic I know, but I
trust the users of this list), but how do I establish logical routing
without sending unwanted messages straight back into the SuperNova
automatically. In other words, I want to twist a knob on the SuperNova and
have it send pure MIDI messages to Logic and not additionally back to
itself. So if the filter cutoff knob is sending on a Nova-defined control
number to the EXS, that's all it does when I twist the knob.

I hope this makes sense. Do you think this is something on my hardware
synths I should alter or something in the Unitor8 control panel? My original
thinking was to allow MIDI messages to travel to all other "out" ports
except the SuperNova from within in the Unitor8 MIDI routing graph editor.
But my changes have no effect or I'm doing it incorrectly. As I recall, this
was a piece of cake in OMS. I'd uncheck the box that routed the SuperNova to
itself, save and that was it. I'm convinced that it's not a SuperNova
because it happens only when the MIDI return to the SuperNova is plugged in
(As I said, this is true of any synth. I'm using the SuperNova as a primary
example). The ill effect is when I do some menu navigation or knob twisting,
crazy messages come back to the SuperNova and screw up navigation making it
impossible to work and to edit. If this clicks with anybody, let me know. If
not, please do not respond. I am positive I haven't described this issue
with complete accuracy, and therefore I would only expect someone who has
experienced this very same problem to fill in the blanks or correct any
inappropriate assertions. Thanks, in advance, to any users who might have
some expertise with this for their assistance. If you feel this is heavily
off topic, feel free to e-mail me directly rather than posting to the list.

Thank you. -Jer
