Chapter 21 EXS24 mkII 285
The procedure outlined above can also be used to import SoundFont2 and SampleCell
Bank files, which contain multiple sounds, in addition to single instrument files. If you
load a SoundFont2 or SampleCell Bank into the EXS24 mkII, it creates a Bank and a
Samples folder, named after the SoundFont2/SampleCell Bank file. The word Bank or
Samples is appended to each folder name.
All sounds contained in the bank will automatically have an EXS sampler instrument file
created, and placed into the new Bank folder. The EXS24 mkII Sampler Instruments
menu automatically updates to reflect the new folder hierarchy. All samples associated
with the Bank automatically have a Samples folder created inside the SoundFont/
SampleCell Samples folder.
For example, if you load a SoundFont2 bank file named Vintage Drums, which contains
over 50 individual drum kits from several different vintage drum machines into the
EXS24 mkII:
 A new folder named Vintage Drums Bank will be created in the Sampler Instruments
folder inside the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic folder.
 A second folder named Vintage Drums Samples will be created in the SoundFont
Samples folder inside the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic folder.
 The Sampler Instruments menu hierarchy is updated and the original Vintage Drums
entry is replaced with a Vintage Drums.Bank entry. This new entry is a folder that
contains the individual sampler instruments, which can be selected and loaded as
per usual.
