Import SoundFont2, DLS, and Gigasampler les
EXS24 mkII recognizes SoundFont2, DLS, and Gigasampler les placed inside the Sampler
Instruments folder and converts them into sampler instruments.
You can store your imported sampler instruments in any folder on any of your computer’s hard
drives. To access these instruments from the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu, you need to
create an alias pointing to the target folder within the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/
Sampler Instruments folder.
Import SoundFont2, DLS, or Gigasampler les into EXS24 mkII
1 To open the Library folder in a Finder window, Option-click the Go menu from the desktop, then
click Library.
2 Copy or move your SoundFont2, DLS, or Gigasampler les into the ~/Library/Application
Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder.
3 Choose the SoundFont2, DLS, or Gigasampler le from the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu.
EXS24 mkII automatically converts the chosen le into a sampler instrument, as follows:
•
A sampler instrument le is created in the Sampler Instruments folder. This contains the le in
its original format.
•
The raw samples associated with the sampler instrument are placed in one of the following
folders, depending on the format being converted:
•
~/Library/Application Support/Logic/SoundFont Samples
•
~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Gigasampler Samples
•
~/Library/Application Support/Logic/DLS Samples

The procedure outlined above also applies when you are importing SoundFont2 les. These le
types contain multiple sounds in addition to single-instrument les.
