EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

A big hassle for me, and a lot of people, I think, is how to organise 
your samples. If you don't take care of it it will become a complete 
jungle when you have many instruments. If you do want to organise 
everything, it'll cost you lots of time in the finder making lots of 
folders and dragging everything around. If you make up your mind later 
and change the structure of your instruments-folder it will probably 
screw up songs you've already recorded, because the instruments are 
wrong.

I think a good solution would be to be able to add labels to 
instruments. Label all your string-sounds 'strings' and tell the EXS24 
MkII that all instruments labeled 'strings' should be put in a folder 
called 'strings'. You could also label folders in your 
instruments-folder. Maybe there could even be a possibility to give 
instruments several labels. For instance for a Moog-sound that you want 
in the 'synths'-folder and in the 'bass'-folder.
A simple solution which will leave your instruments in your 
instruments-folder where they are, so changing the organisation later 
won't screw up older songs. The organisation is handles completely by 
the EXS24 MkII.

In Logic 6 the Project Manager allows you to assign two comments (labels) to each instrument (in fact to any file whether it be AIFF, WAV, LSO, etc)

You can then use the Project Manager to sort accordingly - It has a great search function
