EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Can anyone help me ­ I am converting my EMU library to the EXS format.  When
using CDXtract do you need to change any of the settings in the EXS
conversion window.  For example, can I leave the tuning as is or does EMU
and EXS use different tuning.  For that matter does anyone know of any
Sample Libraries that would need to use this when converting to EXS ­ a list
would be very helpful.  Also, is it best to leave the attenuation alone or
set it to the ³­6 dB (average)² setting.  If anyone has any specific tips
about converting EMU to EXS with CDXtract I¹d love to know
Many Thanks

It's not that the EXS has a different tuning, this option is
useful if you are converting Sample CDs that don't have
the same A tuning reference that the one you are using.
Today, the A440 Hz tuning pitch is mostly used by
Classical Symphony Orchestras. In most other music
circles, there is a tendency to move towards a pitch
of A442 Hz, while some Jazzmen have been known
to use A445Hz as a tuning reference.

I understand that but does anyone know what reference the EXS uses and do
EMU samples need converting?
