EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Group,

On the Vienna Symphonic Library forum I asked about the future support
for MKII on Logic Windows 5.5. They are developing special software for
realistic orchestral (legato) performances that will be released soon.

I don't know how many of you care about this, considering the costs of
VSL, but I found the answer quite pleasing.

Moderator Martin G. Tichy answered:

"The Legato Tool included with the current Demo Cube works with
GigaStudio only. We're just developing the Performance Tool (including
the Legato Mode) for the the EXS24 mk II. It will work for both OS 9 and
OS X as well as the PC version of the ESX mk II. It reqires Logic 5.5."

As I understand it right this tool sits in your midi stream and 
renders a convincing legato play for strings, wind instruments and so 
forth. It is not just tieing notes together. The tool listens to 
timing and intervals and decides in realtime which following sample 
to choose that fits nicely with its predecessor. The EXS instrument 
needed for that has a hugh set of samples to pick from. They are 
selected by key switches. Sort of articulations on a note to note 
basis. 
Maybe I didn't understand the demo right, but someone will correct me 
here then.
The reason I posted this is the last remark. The tool will be 
published for MkII and requires logic 5.5. So the guys from VSL see 
Logic pc platform as a market for their product, months after Emagic 
pulled the plug on their pc productline. Not that I will buy a top-
notch library like VSL very soon, but it gives some confidence in the 
current Logic/EXS combi on pc. It _is_ alive and powerfull. That's 
reassuring just after the V6 launch.

I agree and look even further - it's reassuring that a major library 
like VSL chooses EXS24/Logic as one of 2 formats to release on. Kind 
of makes you feel you put your money on the right horse.......

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way to batch process (normalize in this 
case) all audio files that belong to one of my EXS instruments.

Thanks

Peak can do this. It has a batch processor. -Jer

Another way of thinking of this is to proportionally normalize the samples 
so that the relative amplitudes between them all stay the same. We'd been 
asked to do that in Translator, we're trying to get to it - it's a long 
standing request.

Yeah, that would be even better.  You got yourself another customer if 
you add that feature.

Or, as they say in the art world, "scale the levels." It would be a 
great feature inside the sampler itself.
