EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Everyone -

Here's one that I can't seem to figure out -

I'm currently running Logic 4.8.1 with EXS24.  (I know - I should 
update...)  If I open Logic into a new song then I have access to my 
audio instruments and can use EXS24 with no problem.

However, if I open songs that were sequenced earlier (and under earlier 
versions of Logic) then there is no option to select an Audio 
Instrument.  There are no Audio Instruments in the Environment window.

I've tried to figure out if there's a way of importing an environment 
from an existing song, but I can't seem to figure it out.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Tim

The easiest way to do it is to copy and paste the MIDI data from the 
old sequence into the new one.

You can create new ones. Just because they are not in the environment,
doesn't mean they are not there. Create new object, select it, double-click
on the item to quickly convert it to a track, in the box on the lower left
of the screen (CHA), select audio->instrument channel and the instrument
channel number.

I've moved to a new CPU and moved my apps to new drives.
Now, my EXS24 sees some samples and not others, even though all the samples
in question are on one drive. Why might that be?

Assuming that your samples are not residing in your Logic folder, because 
your samples are on another drive, and you are instead using an alias in the 
Logic folder, you may need to create a new alias to allow your instruments to 
locate the samples' new drive.

I had a similar problem. Turned out when I migrated my samples and 
soundfonts to the new 'puter, I burned them on disk and put them in a 
new 'sampler instruments' folder. You could try to find that folder 
and make sure that Read-Only is turned off...if you have a pc.
