Managing EXS24 Sampler Instruments
As your sample library grows, the list of sampler instruments will also expand. To help
you keep the list of sampler instruments manageable, the EXS24 mkII features a simple
but flexible file management method.
To organize your sampler instruments into a preferred hierarchy
1 Create a folder in the Finder—Basses, for example—and drag it into the desired Sampler
Instruments folder.
2 Drag the desired EXS24 mkII sampler instruments into this newly created folder.
The modified menu structure will be reflected when you open the Sampler Instruments
pop-up menu.
Note: You will need to choose the Refresh Menu command in the Sampler Instruments
pop-up menu after changes are made to the folder hierarchy in the Sampler Instruments
folder.
The Sampler Instruments pop-up menu will display submenus only for folders that actually
contain EXS instrument files. Other folders are not added to the menu. Aliases pointing
to folders that contain EXS instrument files outside the Sampler Instruments folders can
also be added to the menu. Even the Sampler Instruments folder itself can be an alias to
a folder on a different drive or in another location.
For information on copying sampler instruments to your hard drive, and backing up
sampler instruments used in a project, see Copying EXS24 Sampler Instruments to Your
Hard Drive and Backing Up EXS24 Sampler Instruments.
