Chapter 29 EXS24 mkII 531
The Clear Find option in the Sampler Instrument pull-down menu will display the full
menu but does not clear the actual search term typed into the search dialog. To return
to the limited menu, simply select Enable Find. The selection of Enable/Clear Find allows
you to toggle between the two without re-typing the search term.
If you wish to use a different character string, select the Find option a second time and
type in the desired search term.
Sample File Import
The EXS24 is compatible with the EXS24, AKAI S1000 and S3000, SampleCell, ReCycle,
Gigasampler, and SoundFont2 sample formats, as well as the Vienna Library.
Using EXS24 Files
We strongly recommend that you copy any EXS24 Sampler Instruments shipped on CD-
ROM to your hard drives—for two reasons: firstly, to always have direct, immediate
access to your Sampler Instruments without searching for and inserting CD-ROMs, and
secondly, to be able to sort your Sampler Instruments according to your needs.
To copy an EXS24-format Sampler Instrument, along with its associated audio
files, from CD-ROM to your hard drives:
1 Copy the Sampler Instrument files from the CD into the Sampler Instruments folder
within the Logic folder.
2 Copy the associated samples from the CD into the EXSamples folder within the Logic
folder.
Note: You can sort your Sampler Instruments to suit your own needs (see “File
Organization” on page 526). The EXS24 file system is able to work with aliases for
Sampler Instrument folders. Furthermore, a Sampler Instrument searches for, and finds,
all samples it uses on all active hard drives—as long as you do not delete or rename
the samples.
Using EXS24 Instruments directly from CD-ROM
Normally, the Sampler Instrument and associated samples (audio files) will be stored on
your hard disks, but on occasion, you may wish, or need, to load an EXS Sampler
Instrument from CD-ROM.
To use an EXS Sampler Instrument stored on CD-ROM:
1 Copy the Sampler Instrument file (not the associated samples) from the EXS format CD-
ROM into the Sampler Instruments folder.
