Importing Giga Files
The importation of Giga format files is as per that of SoundFont2 files. Simply copy or
move your Gigasampler files into the Sampler Instruments folder.
Select the file name in the EXS24 Sampler Instrument load flip-menu and the file will
automatically be converted. An EXS Instrument will be created in the Sampler
Instruments folder which contains the original Giga file. The raw samples associated
with the Sampler Instrument will be replaced in a Giga samples folder within the main
Logic program folder.
Once conversion is complete, the original Giga source file/s can be freely deleted from
the hard disk.
Should you import Giga samples, they will appear as a Giga samples folder on the same
level as the EXSamples, Sampler Instruments and SoundFont Samples folders. Please refer
to the EXS24 folder hierarchy diagram above.
Converting ReCycle Files to EXS24 Instruments
ReCycle is a sample editing program from Propellerheads software. It slices sample
material into small segments (slices) over time, and can generate a number of file types
which can be read by Logic and the EXS24. This section covers the use of the various
ReCycle format files with the EXS24.
The ReCycle file types supported are listed below:
To convert ReCycle files into EXS24 Sampler Instruments, simply browse to the desired
function in the Instrument > ReCycle Convert menu of the EXS24 Instrument Editor. The
individual functions are outlined in the “Recycle Convert” section, from page 555
onwards.
Velocity Factor
The velocity factor determines how the loudness of each “slice” of the imported
ReCycle file affects the velocity values of the MIDI note generated to trigger it.
• If a positive value (up to 100) is entered, louder slices will generate MIDI notes with
higher velocity values.
• The use of negative values on louder slices will result in the generation of lower MIDI
note velocities.
