EXS 'send to sampler' question.

Question

OK so I've started doing remixes where I'm bringing all the audio into a project and using the new logic 9 'send to sampler' to chop up the beats etc.
This is all great, but I also want these new sampler instruments to appear in my main EXS library so I can use them on other projects, but when you pull up a new project they don't appear, they only appear within the project they were created for.
I mean I could transfer them all manually, but it's a bit long winded. Therefore has anybody found a way of shifting these temporary EXS files to their main library permanently within logic itself?

Bill,
not sure but you might find the below info illuminating; picked this up at the Digital Village Blog http://blog.dv247.com/logic-9-review-convert-sampler-instrument/2842/
"A few important things to note here:
When converting to a Sampler Instrument, there are two choices: By Transient Markers or by Regions. The behaviour is significantly different for each method.
Transient markers are automatically created when Flex mode is enabled, converting to Sampler Instrument by transients, or enabling Transient Editing mode in the Sample Editor. These transient markers may not be exactly where you want them. The only way to adjust this is through the Sample Editor.
The Sampler Instrument produced does not make individual samples (slices), it merely creates zones which have the Start time offset to produce the desired effect. These zones reference the original audio file, which is probably stored in with your project (assuming that you have ’saved with assets’). More on this later.
If no Project folder has previously been created, the resulting Sample Instrument (.exs) file is stored in the default Logic directory (users:Music:logic), and the EXS file merely references the original audio file, wherever it may be stored. If the Project has been saved “with assets”, but not with ‘Copy exs instruments or samples to Project Folder’ ticked, the EXS instrument file is still created, but the audio sample is still referencing the audio file in the project folder, not any separate sample file. Saving the project with ‘Copy Exs inst. & Samples’ ticked does indeed copy the audio (sample) and the exs instrument to new directories within the project folder.
If you slice the region by transients (by first enabling Flex mode, then using the contectual menu to “Slice by Transients” (or the old Strip Silence method), and then convert to a Sampler Instrument using the ‘by regions’ function, the individual regions are converted to new audio files which are separately referenced by the EXS instrument produced. The above comments regarding the resulting audio files, sampler instruments and any samples still apply.
The crucial issue with all of this is that the exs instrument is not added to your main sampler library, and the samples remain in the project folder. One could easily lose these Instruments and samples! To be of more general use, it is necessary to open the EXS Instrument Editor for the relevant sampler instruments, and use the ‘Export Sampler Instrument and Sample files’ function to save them into your main sample library.
Hope this helps
