- Open the EXS. on the top left there is a button called edit.
- Click edit
- In the window that opens up choose File -> New instrument
- Choose Zone -> Load multiple samples
- Browse to your audio file and click OK
- in the next dialog choose auto map (if it's only one file, read the 
doc for the other two options!)
- go File -> Save

Now you can load it up in the EXS pull down menu where your other 
instruments are.

Hi there,

I'm trying to find a good solution to database all my CD samples as 
well as my unused audiofiles that I might use in the future.

What I'd like is to be able to look for keywords in my database and 
finding all the related files that could work.

Pretty simple I know but here's what I'm asking now.

Do you know any good soft that would do that?

Also tell me your wishlist about what you would find relevant to find 
in this software that you can't find for now.

I'm pretty good in programming and if I can't find a software that 
works for me, I'll spend some time building a database for me and for 
you guys. So let me know which features you'd like and I'll let you 
know once it's done.

I have to do it anyway since I'm working a famous film composer who 
wants me to do it for me. Therefore if I can contribute and share my 
efforts with you, I'll do it.

Vincent

The ESX is sampler that can play many different samples across a keyboard 
("horizontally"), and also layer samples ("vertically"). These setups are 
formed in an "ESX file", which is what the popup menu pays attention to, 
not the AIFF files themselves.

So it's easy to create an "ESX file" that contains one AIFF. Use these 
steps (also this HAS to be in the manual or the FAQ here - are you reading 
your manual??):

Start up ESX
Click the EDIT button, this brings up the ESX24 Instrument Editor
Click the Instrument menu-New, this creates a New instrument
Click the Zone menu-New Zone, this creates a New Zone
(Note that it's default is the whole keyboard)
Double click on the Audio File area of the Zone
Select your unsuspecting sample file (can be AIFF, WAVE, SD, Cuisnart)
Play to your hearts content; do the "it finally works!" dance
Click the Instrument menu-Save, save the file in the Sampler Instruments 
folder somewhere
Exit the Editor (get it out of the way)
Go back to the ESX plugin and go to the popup - the new instrument should 
be there
Select it, and play to your hearts content (if there's any contentment left)
Next, and the most important part...
Cook yourself some dinner, while you are doing that, print out the manual, 
and the cooking and printing should be done simultaneously (if you plan it 
right)
Use approved compatible dinnerware, and settle down to a good evening of 
reading and refreshment

(Forgive the fun, I know that Tom Clancy didn't write the manual, but it be 
sure fun if he did. Can you imagine - "The Sum Of All Fears" for ESX-24? 
Some of us have already experienced that...)

CDxtract does this. Check out their demo if you don't have it:

I had a version long ago of SampleSearch but found it a bit disappointing.

Logic's Project Manager does this job too......

Just checkd for disc Recall & found this: CDFinder. Just testing it, 
but if it works fine... For 20 Euros, all you need ;-))

http://www.cdfinder.de/list.html

It seems to work pretty fast to: just catalogued my 30GB System drive 
(with both OS9.2 & OSX.2.6 on in just about 5 minutes!!!!)

Cheers,

Gilles

Yes and in my exs the plug in window just sits on top of the edit window
like a big green and black and silver lump and I have to click it off. that
is an anoying little glitch. It also inserts it's  bad self when I click the
E in the zone edit and enter the sample edit to edit a new file. Yes here it
comes again poping up with all it's buttons as if to say use me use me. Why
I ask Why???
