EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi,

I am having a problem with the new version of Logic Audio on OS 10.2.2. 
  I can't seem to gain access to all of the sounds I used to have on my 
EXS24 in the old OS.  They just disappeared!  Where can I find these 
sounds?

To be more "OS X" like, eMagic moved the location of the Logic 
executables in LogicX.  They are now in the Application folder in a 
folder called eMagic Platform or something like that.

The old 9.x executables are probably in a folder called eMagic or 
something right off the root of your hard drive.

As we all know, everything that plugs into logic has to be in a folder 
on the same level as the executable.  Since the executable has moved, 
that means you have to move your support folders too.  You'll find all 
your EXS intruments in the EXS intrument folder off the root of your 
hard drive (or wherever you originally installed Logic).  Move those 
folders to the new location of the Logic executable 
(/Applications/eMagic/Logic) and your instuments will show up again.

If you are still going to be going back and forth between 9.x and X and 
don't want to keep copying folders all the time, you can just make an 
alias and move that into the new Logic folder.

Reading back over this, it doesn't make much sense.  If I've confused 
you, write back and I'll try to be more explicite.

Well, they are in the "old" Emagic folder. (were you using OS 9?).

If so, you need to "point" to the old sample instruments folder - use 
an alias under OS X.

Alternately, of course, you could copy the old instruments into the 
new sampler instruments folder.

In OS X, search for Emagic and you will find the old Logic Audio folder.

Aron,

  I copied all of the .aif files from the old (OS9) EXsamples folder 
into the new (OSX) sampler instruments folder.  Still there is no 
response.  I looked in the old sampler instruments folder and there was 
nothing there.  I assume that there are supposed to be some .exs files 
somewhere on my computer to make the EXS24 work but I can't find any 
anywhere!  How do I go about getting these samples back if they were 
somehow erased?

Bryan

At this point, use the find command in OS X to find those .exs files.

Very strange that they are not there!

The samples themselves (the aiff's) can reside _anywhere_ on your 
harddisk,  No need to move them.  Only the *.exs files need to be in 
the Sampler Instruments folder.

'Find' (command-F) ".exs"...

>How do I go about getting these samples back if they were somehow erased?

.exs files are not samples, but simply files that describe to the EXS 
which samples should be loaded whrer, which filter to apply, etc.

I've used the finder to try to locate .exs files but they aren't on my 
computer!  Does anyone know how I can get them back so that I can use 
my EXSP24?

Now THAT is strange.

Reinstall.

However, if you added new ones yourself, you will have to find where 
you got them and place them yourself.

Good luck,

Aron
