You can, however, choose to store the current Parameters window settings into a
sampler instrument (see “Working With Sampler Instrument Settings on page 281 for
further information). This overrides the settings currently saved in the sampler
instrument.
The EXS24 mkII is compatible with all audio file formats supported by
Logic Express: AIFF, WAV, SDII, CAF. Each audio file is loaded into the EXS24 mkII as a
separate sample. Each audio file is then automatically assigned a zone in the EXS24 mkII
Instrument Editor. These zones can then be edited and organized into sampler
instruments. See “Editing Zones and Groups” for more information on using audio files
in zones.
A point to note is that the actual audio files themselves are not contained within a
sampler instrument. The sampler instrument only stores information about an audio
file’s name, its parameter settings, and its location on the hard disk. If you delete or
rename an audio file, any sampler instrument that makes use of this file will not be able
to find it, so take care when handling audio files. You can, however, move audio files to
another location on your system. The EXS24 mkII will still be able to find such files
when sampler instruments are loaded.
