528 Chapter 29 EXS24 mkII
To organize your Sampler Instruments into a preferred hierarchy:
1 Simply create a folder—“Basses” for example—within the Sampler Instruments folder,
with your operating systems file management utilities.
2 Drag and drop the desired EXS24 Sampler Instruments into this newly created folder.
Their menu structure will be reflected when clicking on the EXS24 Sampler Instruments
pull-down menu.
Note: You will need to relaunch Logic after changes are made to the folder hierarchy in
the Sampler Instruments folder.
The menu is limited to the display of folder sub-menus that actually contain EXS
instrument files. Other folders are not added to the menu. Aliases pointing to folders
which contain EXS instrument files outside the Sampler Instruments folder 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 location.
When selecting a Sampler Instrument from a sub menu, a bold entry at the top of the
root menu is added, to indicate the current selection. The sub menu that contains the
selected Sampler Instrument is also shown in bold type, as are further sub menus. This
makes it easy to trace the file path of the currently loaded Sampler Instrument.
Saving of Project-related EXS24 Instruments
This feature allows all EXS24 Instruments associated with a Project to be saved/loaded
into/from a single folder location, which also contains the song file. These Sampler
Instruments will then be exclusively associated with this song.
This is useful for two reasons:
It makes the archiving and handling of songs, including the associated Sampler
Instruments, easier.
It makes it simpler to deal with a particular set of samples that will not be used in
another song—vocals, modified drum kits and so on.
