EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Using LPM 4.8.2 I seem to have lost the connection between the 
exs24 instruments and the samples. Is there any way to fix this 
globally? So far it seems the only way to fix it is to choose each 
and every zone and manually rechoose the audio files. Here is 
what happened:

I have installed an external firewire drive and copied all of my 
samples to that drive. After the fact, I discoverred that the EXS24 
software didn't want me to do that, it wanted me to open every 
exs instrument and chose MOVE AUDIOFILES from the 
INSTRUMENT menu. I assumed that the software would operate 
the way the AUDIO WINDOW in Logic works: if it doesn't find a 
file, it comes up with a dialogue box saying it found the file 
somewhere and do I want to choose that file. However, in 
EXS24, there does not seem to be such a utility to simply ask the 
software to search all attached drives for the audio files you 
need. I have tried copying aliases of the folders I need to the 
place where the files used to work, but that has not worked for 
me.

So I reinstalled the Factory presets, figuring that they would be 
put in the right place by the installer. And my plan was that once I 
had confirmed that they were working properly, I would delete the 
files I had copied over to the external drive way back in part 1. Ha! 
I chose the external drive during the install procedure, but it does 
not matter which exs24 factory instrument I choose, it cannot 
locate the correct files and always reports the audio file 
connected to zone #1 as 'not found.' I have spent five hours trying 
to figure this one out now, and I am stumped. HELP!!!

Open the EXS, choose edit and go into the edit menu.
Open  Preferences and choose "Search samples on: External Volumes"
Have you done that? Does it help?

I'm having the same problem and NO it doesn't help.  I copied 
my whole Logic folder, samples and instruments to a new laptop 
I got but while the instruments appear, none of the samples can 
be found.  I see them in the same sample folder they've always 
been in but now on the laptop Logic doesn' t see them EVEN 
after I adjust the pref to search external drives .

Hi there,  I seem to have the same problem as you've listed 
below.  Have you found a way to resolve it?
