Subject: [exs] EXS Instrument Question


Hello group.

I'm still struggling with an EXS Instrument that 
was created by Translator. It is not responding to 
*********
why don't u send it to me :o) just leave 1 sample in the Prg...
I will try here....

Yes, I am seeing MIDI notes on the transport. The 
reason why I'm stumped is that if I call up any 
other .exs program on that channel/audio 
instrument, the sampler will play it.

This sort of thing can happen when the files specified in the instrument
definition do not have the same suffix/type or whatever as the actual audio
files sitting on the hard drive. This happens for PC users with some
instruments built by Mac users. 

If you can go into the Instrument editor and pick a zone and open the
corresponding audio file in the sample editor and it can be played back
from there then the files are OK. 

Othewise it could be some parameter in the instrument definition
(transpose, start point, volume -- any of these can make an instrument
behave unexpectedly -- eg your drumset is octaves up the keyboard from
where you expect it) An unlikely possibility is a corrupt instrument
definition.

Yeah, got that. We'll, the transport midi info is proof. It is starting to
sound like a problem with that patch.
