EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I keep running into a problem with EXS not showing all the 
instruments I have in my Sampler Instruments folder.
Sometimes rearranging or renaming the instruments solves the 
problem, sometimes I regroup them into categories etc. such as 
"Drums & Percussion" to help limit the number of instruments 
listed in the main menu, but lately, this doesn't seem to be 
helping out.

I just purchased the Wizoo Grand Piano for EXS, and put it in a 
subfolder called Pianos, that only had 2 other instruments in it 
already, and it just will not show up when I load EXS.

What gives? Seems I have noticed this problem since Logic 5.2 
or so........


Macintosh G4 Dual 1 GHZ, 1.5gb Ram, OS 9.2.2, Logic 5.5, 
MOTU 828.............?

How many are in there? I've heard there's a limit you can have. Try
organizing them into subfolders. That should help.

But I have organized into subfolders, as mentioned in the post, 
I started out with over 100 instruments listed in there, I have 
subfoldered down to around 25 categories, etc. As posted, with 
the Wizoo Grand Piano, I put it in a subfolder called "Pianos" that 
had only 2 items in it, and it is not showing up, but by messing 
around with different setups, sometimes get it to show  up 
in the main menu list, it doesn't make any sense at all, and I 
have experienced this across 2 different production rigs in 
different ways, seems the list always needs tweaking to make all 
instruments show up in the menu.......?

I experienced the same problems - seems Logic or Mac OS does not accept more
than 5 Folders - that means Sampler Instruments +4

I agree then. This is not normal. I wish I could be of greater help.

I've never experienced this. I have at least 25 folders in the root and over
50 drum kits in at least one folder. -Jer
