Andrea, you are a genius!
I had almost 20,000 instruments in my Sampler instruments folder
associated to more than 76,000 samples. I had to use the XL version
because of this.
Since I keep all the wave files on my separate drive the sampler was
taking forever to find them while trying to associate them to an
instrument.
Now, loading an instrument is almost instantaneous!
I also got rid of 4 Gigs of superfluous wave files(!)
One important note, while the program is in the first phase which
analysing the instruments and samples, parsing them and associating
them, I could not even go into
Windows Explorer as EXS Manager stopped responding. In the second
phase, in which the program updates your sampler instruments, I had no
trouble multi-tasking.
This a truely a God-send for users with a lot of instruments in their
Sampler Instruments folder.
