Chapter 29 EXS24 mkII 527
Note: You can store your Sampler Instruments in any folder on any of your computer’s
hard drives. To do so, you must create an alias pointing to this folder within the Sampler
Instruments folder located in the Logic program folder. Please refer to “File
Organization” on page 526.
You can manually load Sampler Instruments from other locations into the EXS
Instrument Editor at any time. Such Instruments also appear in the EXS24’s Sampler
Instrument load pull-down menu.
Settings
Settings are used to store all parameter adjustments made in the Plug-in window.
Every Logic plug-in allows you to store and recall Settings, and the EXS24 is no
exception. The Settings for the EXS24 are stored in the EXS24 folder, which itself is
located in the Plug-In Settings folder within the main Logic program folder.
Important: The Settings that can be stored and recalled in the Plug-in window are not
part of the Sampler Instrument being loaded.
Settings reside above the Sampler Instruments in the hierarchy: A Setting contains a
pointer to a Sampler Instrument, and when a new Setting is selected, the Sampler
Instrument it points to is automatically loaded. As such, Settings are convenient for
organizing and accessing your favorite Sampler Instruments. Settings also recall any
changes made to parameters within the Plug-in window.
Management of Sampler Instruments
As your sample library grows, the list of Sampler Instruments will also expand. To aid
you in keeping the list of Sampler Instruments manageable, the EXS24 features a
sophisticated, but easy to use method of file management.
The Sampler Instrument pull-down menu directly reflects the folder structure within
the Sampler Instruments folder. You can choose to sort your Sampler Instruments in
groups such as “basses and guitars”, by sound type, alphabetically, or by song.
