Once conversion is complete, the original SoundFont2, SampleCell, or Gigasampler
source files can be freely deleted from the hard disks.
Note: You can store your imported sampler instruments in any folder on any of your
computer’s hard drives. To make sure that these instruments are displayed in the
Sampler Instruments menu, you must create an alias pointing to this folder within the
~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder.
Converting ReCycle Files to EXS Instruments
ReCycle, a sample editing program from Propellerhead software, separates sample
material into small segments (called slices) based on the waveform peaks, called
transients, in the audio file. This way, ReCycle is able to split an audio file into musically
relevant slices. ReCycle can generate a number of file types which can be read by
Logic Express and the EXS24 mkII.
The EXS24 mkII supports the following ReCycle file types:
 Old ReCycle file: These files have the suffix .rcy. The abbreviation for this file type
is RCSO. These files are not commonly used these days.
 Old ReCycle export file: These files have the suffix .rex. The abbreviation for this file
type is REX. Older sample libraries that support REX files are often in this format.
 ReCycle 2.0 file: These files have the suffix .rx2. The abbreviation for this file type
is REX2. These files are used extensively by Propellerhead Reason, and many popular
sample libraries include REX2 format files.
