EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Cyril,

I also am using the SAM + EXS in Mac combination.

SAM Horns are fantastic. They are my favourite samples right now! Do note 
however that you'll need a friend with a PC in order to decompress the 
cd-rom that SAM will send you. Just go over to your friend's place with a 
bottle of wine or a few beers, and two blank cd-roms (after decompression 
the data will not fit on one cd). The whole process will take less than 45 
minutes (copy from cd-rom, decompress, burn cd-roms).

It's a GREAT deal for the money.

Enjoy,

Ned

Totally agree, SAM horns is a great sounding library and amazing value.

The alternative to decompressing the files on a PC is to use MacPARdeLuxe on
Mac OS X.

See info below from ProjectSAM website:

Installing SAM Horns on a Macintosh
Some of our users won't be using SAM Horns on the PC platform.
Giga-compatible software samplers like EXS, Halion and Kontakt run on both
PC and Macintosh platforms. The sample data on our SAM Horns cdrom has been
packed in .exe self-extracting RAR format. If you don't have a PC around and
would like to directly extract and use the cdrom on a Macintosh, you will
find the following information of use.

The application MacPARdeLuxe, running under OSX, can extract both RAR and
self-extracting .EXE files:

At this moment, MacPARdeLuxe is the only application able to handle RAR 3.0
files. Under OS9, applications like StuffIt Deluxe and MacRAR have yet to be
updated to RAR 3.0.

I wonder if this will handle the .exe file(s) on the '56 Strat  CD-ROM.....
