1300 xs sampled instruments?

I'm clearly not the computer genius that many of the people are in these forums as I asked if Logic came with like 1500 sounds and was told no and it doesn't come with a coffee maker either. My question is I know the jampacks are instruments so this must be all the instruments you use. What doew 1300 xs sampled instruments mean? I was thinking that this was another 1300 instruments and almost jumped out of my clothes with excitement. But I was quickly told no they are not so what exactly are they? Sorry for being so computer and hardware illiterate I really am trying to learn as I try to build my own home studio. An answer on this would close a great mystery in my life. Thanks ahead of time for the help!

Can't believe no one has answered this... I'm sure others will chime in, quick explanations.
Logic comes with many built in "Instruments" in this case, Virtual Instruments.
A virtual (or software) instrument is similar to a synthesizer keyboard or module except it's runs in the computers RAM and uses the CPU for power.
These are loaded into the Instrument tracks and played from a MIDI controller keyboard. Each of the built in instruments comes with patches or sounds that program that particular synth.
There is one particular Instrument, the EXS24 that is different, it's a sampler, it loads a bundle of audio files that represent recorded sounds of... well, anything... from a Steinway piano to the bleating of goats in heat and allows you to play them back from a keyboard.
Now... the OTHER kind of sounds the Jampacks are mainly comprised of are:
Sampled Loops, (Apple Loops). These are usually musical phrases 1, 2, 4, 8 bars long of many different music styles. You don't really play these as much as you "assemble" them into a musical decoupage. They have the ability to be time stretched (borrowed from ACID Loops) to the tempo you wish to compose at.
Apple loops can be a single sampled instrument (a guitar lick) all the way up to a full band playing a section. There are many hundreds of Apple loops available.

Scanning Of Exs Sampler Instruments

i don't remember if this function is still in logic but it would scan all my ext hardrives for samples for sampler instruments so it would then be able to find them faster. right now its showing i have multiple samples of certan instruments and want to get that a little more roganized
thanks

Completely unrelated question, but I had found a previous thread where you had converted an older Logic file for the Yamaha S90 synthesizer into a newer file that would work in Logic 8 but the link to that file is now broken. Any chance you could reconvert and repost?
The original file link (in the older Logic format) is at http://files.keyfax.com/download/S90Object.LSO
Thanks much in advance....

I just upgraded to Lion and can't find my EXS24 sampler instruments

The instruments that came with Logic are still in their place, but can't find user sampler instruments. It used to be (user / library / application support / logic / sampler instruments, but there is no "library" folder in the user folder anymore. Any suggestions?

Jericho...
The User/Library folder is now hidden in Lion. To get to the "user" Library folder you now have to access it from Finder>Go>Go To Folder.
Once there, type this: /users/(your administrator name here)/Library/
Hope this helps...
I've been working in Lion just fine until tonight! I lost my EXS24II sampler Instruments too... but probably for another reason? -- Andy

Sampler Instruments

Hello,
I am working on a friends computer trying to get all of his samples working in the EXS 24 other then the Logic Pro samples. All of the Aiff files where scattered in various folders on his various hard drives. So I organized all of them (Aiff files) in the EXS Sample folder. Then Put all the .EXS file in the Sampler Instruments folder. in folder catagories. But when I load the new .EXS files the sampler can't find the sample. Yet I can see the Aiff files. How can I correct this? Thanks In advance.

If you have not done it yet, then it is a different topic - since your EXS files don't exist ( yet ).
All you really need to do is decide exactly how you want your library in the filesystem - map, save EXS, save PM data at the end of the day. Leave your sampler, REX, EXS files where they are after they are mapped. If you don't move or modify them ( may want to allow yourself read only privs ) then you should have virtually no problems like relink, slow load times...
All your samples and insts go into your home folder ( /Users/~you~/Lib/AppSupport/Logic ) unless you need to outsmart Logic ( samples are easy to reference from another Volume ) - I just have mine linked from several different accounts - a pain for most users.
Then, you will not likely have to move things around or spend hours with Project Manager. Logic will keep it's samples apart from yours and Migrating is pretty easy. : ^)

EXS' Sampler Instrument Count Limitation

Hello everyone,
Does anyone happen to know of a workaround/ solution to EXS' sampler instrument count limitation? I find myself constantly shuffling instruments and libraries in and out of the Sampler Instruments folder, a process which, given my 1TB library, is tedious and extremely time consuming.
Any "magic fixes" or insights would be highly appreciated..
Thanks!

Some clarifications:
I have been running EXS Manager, Pro Ed from the get-go.
Once again, my complaint is NOT regarding slow load times (which, believe me, is grounds for a whole separate post); rather the inability to access instruments altogether. In other words: past a certain, specific instrument down the list, others would simply no longer load. They are visible in the EXS menu, but are flat out "ignored" by the sampler.
Additionally, I have tried re arranging them using sub-folders, but to no avail: The Sampler Instruments folder seems to only be able to handle so many instruments.
Anyone else..?

Sampler Instruments Folder in Root or User to put additional exs files

is it best to keep all sampler instruments in Root folder? i notice thats where it installs the origional ex samples and instruments. but i have converted giga and akai as well as other exs sample instruments i made. is it ok to put them all in the root or are they supposed to go in User/ sampler instruments or does it matter?
thanks

You can put them anywhere, as long as there are *identically named aliases* of the containing folders in either the root or the Users folder.
Logic puts 'Convertees' by default in the Users folder, I believe.
Whether it is best I cannot tell you, that depends on your use. If you use lots of EXS instruments in a project it may be advantageous to have all sound content on a a dedicated disk, to avoid too much traffic to and from the Startup volume, possibly leading to Logic reacting sluggishly.
regards, Erik.

Re-Linking EXS Sampler Instruments & Samples

1 - Curious what you think of this concept:
I have an external drive that I'd like to be able to move to several computers and use as my samples drive. To keep things consistent, I thought it best to keep BOTH EXS Sampler Instruments & Samples on this drive. Then I can just create aliases of the EXS Sampler Instruments and drop them in the main logic support folder. That way I can easily just move the drive to either computer for the greatest flexibility.
Is this ok to do? Is there a better way?
2 - I'd like to re-link many EXS Sampler Instruments to their samples. I used to use the ExsManager Pro.app but that stopped working a while back. Is there another way to have logic do all the re-linking instead?

I highly suggest that you contact Redmatica and get an update to get it working again.

List of EXS24 sampled instruments

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a list of the EXS24 sampler instruments (more than 1000) for LE 9 ? Also, is the EXS24 GM compatible yet for easy identification and selection of instruments for imported midi files? Thanks.

As far as the Jam Packs go, you can download the manuals from the support area. There are thousands of sounds and loops with Logic Studio. Many are searchable by Spotlight. Just have fun exploring.

GB Searching For Sampler Instruments

How do I get GB to search for (or, better yet, FIND) all my sampler instruments? When I double click on one of the instruments to get the track info, GB says, for example
"Grand Piano.exs":
Audio file
"024C0KM56M.wav"
not found!
Yet I know the exact folder/location of the file(s). So how can I get GB to look there and gather all the samples?
Thank you very much in advance for your responses,
Javier Calderon

Oh well. I figured it out on my own. For anyone interested in knowing, this is what I did: I simply took all my sample library files from the folder they were in and, with GB open, I dropped the entire folder in the sample library area of the app. It imported and organized them accordingly - which took a while since I have over 50,000 samples, but it worked.

EXS Factory Samples And Sampler Instruments Duplicates and Missing Legacy

since updating and comparing to my macbook which i havent updated, it seems there are missing exs factory samples. for example on new logic 9 there are 2 folders exs factory samples which have 01 through 09 folders. the sampler instruments folder has 01 through 12 and folder 12 legacy instruments which on my mac book in sampler instruments have 01 thru 10 then skips to 26 to 41
ann ex factory folder on mac book 01 thru 10 folders and 10 legacy folder contains 01 thru 10 then skips to 27 thru 38. what is going on . why are there missing files in new upgrade i did on main computer? and how do i get all the exs samples and what should they be?

This problem began,i think in Logic 8.....when you install LP8 normally the EXS instruments and Legacy EXS there were always some missing that I was used to using..I found them eventually,they were now part of the the Garageband instrument Library.
I went back and searched all the install DVDs until I found them showing up..some EXS instruments would be missing the actual samples which were now part of the Garageband instrument library,Attitude Bass being one I remember off hand.
I just copied all the Instruments and samples I needed and got rid of the rest which amounts to a lot of space being freed up.
Now I just keep a backup of all my EXS files on external drive so I dont need to install them every upgrade as in Logic 9 (which I checked just in case there were any new files etc!)..which also sorts out the duplicate files headache.
Hope this helps.....

9.0.1 EXS24 Sampler Instruments issue

After the 9.0.1 update, about half of my EXS24 instruments are now named "sampler instrument" or just "instrument." The presets in the subfolders still have their correct names. None of the factory instruments have this problem, but many 3rd party instruments do. I tried replacing my entire sampler instruments folder with a backup, but the problemis still there. Tried disk permissions, still no go. Any ideas? Trash prefs (I haven't tried that yet, not sure if there are EXS prefs or not...

I noticed the same issue after installing the Logic 9.01 update. Thankfully, the 3rd party instruments still work with EXS24. They still sound as they should (for me, anyway). Unfortunately, the main folder names of the 3rd party instruments are different (as described in the original post) than what I originally created. So, to clarify, "just" the display names to the 3rd party instrumental libraries are at fault. This was not the case for Logic 8.02 (or even Logic 9.0, for that matter). So, it appears that this is a new bug in the latest version of Logic.
All of my instrumental libraries are stored on a separate audio drive. I created "Alias" folders/files that pointed to the audio drive and placed them as originally directed (2+ years ago) in the Macintosh HD drive. In an attempt to figure out a work around to this possible bug, I renamed the "Alias" folders to the 3rd party instruments. It wasn't helpful.
Any suggestions??

Default location of EXS24 sample files (not Sample Instruments)

I'm trying to copy a few selected EXS24 Sample Instruments (orchestral strings) from one Mac to another.
I know where the Sample Instruments are, but can't find the associated sample files.
Any idea where they are?
Thanks!

You can move them from teh default location to wherever you want.
Drag the iTunes folder from C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music to
C:\Users\<username>\iTunes\iTunes Music.
Hold Shift and laucch iTunes then select *Choose existing library* and select the *iTunes library file* in the iTunes folder.

Where do I find User Library Application Support Logic Sampler Instruments in Mountain Lion?

I can't seem to find (User>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments in Mountain Lion)
help please?

Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the following at the prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
This will make the /Home/Library folder permanently visible so you can locate what you need.

Where can i find more information about factory sampler instruments? such as what synth was sampled, what chord has been sampled etc.

im looking for more information about what chords have been sampled for use in the exs24 "chords" sampler instruments and more specifically wether they're major/minor and with 7ths,9ths,11ths etc. i know this could be worked out with someone with the skill to do it but unforunately that's not me. It'd be convienient if information like this was included somewhere in the documentation like it is with most other commercial sample packs.

Don't post order information or other personal information here. We're all just fellow users here - you are not communicating with Apple when you post here - and so posting such information just risks your privacy. I've asked the Hosts to remove all the private information from your post.
The serial number was included in the box ARD came in; the Apple Store will not have a record of it. If you've lost the serial number, you'll need to purchase a new copy of ARD, probably a good idea anyway since 2.2 won't run on any version of Mac OS X since, if memory serves, 10.4. It's a lot cheaper through the Mac App Store than it was back when you first purchased.
Regards.

Where can i find the sample instruments in logic pro x.the proper plugins

Where can i find the sample instruments in logic pro x.the proper plugins. or third party plugins too where can i find them and how in logic pro x can anyone help me please.

My understanding is that if it was purchased throught the App Store, then there is no requirement for a serial number. At which point does it ask you for the serial?
