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.

Corrupted Search For Samples and Hidden Garage Band Samples

in logic if you go to garage band instruments, strings and select basses staccato, it searches for the wrong samples for the instrument. how do i clear what ever searches for exs and garage band samples in logc? also those physical samples used in those garage band instruments are named for example
KBstac_downbow_fA#1.wav if you search your hard drive it will not find those samples. where do they reside? are they hidden and why?
so its a 2 part question. how do i reset searching for samples. i ran onyx on spotlight but i don't think logic uses spotlight to search for samples.
thanks

ok i found out that you have to modify search function to find those garage band samples. the problem i'm having still is there are some garage band instruments that are referencing wrong samples. how do i reset search function

EXS24 searches for samples very long - SOLVED

I've discovered a solution for a problem with EXS24 under Snow Leopard 10.6.2. When you load an instrument to EXS24 it takes ages to load.
SOLUTION: disable your Windows partition from being indexed by Spotlight. To do so go to System Preferences, choose Spotlight and then choose the 'Privacy' tab an drag your Win partition to the window.
More details:
This can seem random at first as some instruments load ok and some not. Those which load ok have references to a proper disk and folder while those which do load but you have to wait from several minutes to an hour have references to an old or missing disk.

I have experienced missing EXS24 samples; many other people have had this problem. You sleuths have isolated it to Spotlight but is Spotlight responsible for the variations of problems that have been reported? Mine aren't slow but non-existent. Here's where we've been discussing it, among other places: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11089635#11089635. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

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....

Uninstalled/reinstalled NI visa 5.4, NI max now hanging (searches for instruments indefinitely)

Hi all,
I did the following and now NI MAX is hanging and searching for instruments indefinitely:
1) uninstall NI visa 5.4
2) install NI visa 5.3
3) uninstall NI visa 5.3
4) install NI visa 5.4 again.
I did all this because I have a GPIB instrument that max sees as a miscellaneous resource.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know,
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ed,
I would suggest installing the most recent version of NI-488.2 which can be found here: http://www.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,n8:3.25.123.785,ssnav...
Try scanning for the instruments in MAX after you have installed the 488.2 driver. You can also use NI I/O Trace or GPIB Analyzer to see if you can detect anything out of the ordinary. Take a look at these two links for NI I/O Trace and GPIB Analyzer instructions:

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.....

Can't see my own sampler instruments or presets in 64 bit version.

If I load up 9.0.0, I can see all my own presets and sampler instruments. But they are not showing up in 9.1.
I have searched and seem to be the only one with this?
anyone else?
Keefy

I was using Logic 9.0.2 before I upgraded to 9.1. After installing the update it has left me with 2 versions. I now have 9.1.1. which is called Logic Pro, and I also have another Logic which was automatically created and labeled Logic 9.0.0. I have checked and it is 9.0.0. (1660.11).
The problem that I have is with the 9.1.1. not seeing my presets and sampler instruments. Not in 64bit mode or 32bit mode.
** Just managed to sort it!
All of my Sampler Instruments/Samples are on a separate drive and are aliased. It looks like the 9.1.1. version looks in the Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support for the Logic Folder with all the settings. So I have aliased all individual folders (ie Bass, Piano, Synth) as apposed to the sampler Inst folder and it works!
I take it that it no longer references to the home (user/libary/application support/Logic) for Insts & Plug in settings.
Phew!
Okay, cheers all and back to work I go ! ! ! !

How can I limit which hard drive partitions Logic looks for samples in?

Hello.
I have my internal hard drive set up into two partitions, one for running Logic 8 on Snow Leopard and the other for running Logic X on Mavericks. I wanted to keep these two worlds separate to prevent any kind of incidental changes to one environment from affecting the other for the sake of pristine preservation. In short, all my samples are located on each of the two partitions.
Is there a smart way to prevent Logic from scanning the other OS partition for samples or other system files? I want to keep these two worlds separate as a control so neither end up breaking the other. I am cautious about setting up permissions to lock myself out of the other partition while I'm in either of them. I'm afraid that I somehow wouldn't be able to boot to the other one (I've had some alarming experiences with drive permissions in the past).
It is annoying to have Logic find several instances of instrument samples and to be prompted each time. Also, I want to prevent them from seeing each other just to be on the safe side. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Your best bet is to exclude the SL disk from Spotlight in Mavericks, and exclude the Mavdisk from Spotlight in Snow Leopard - as Logic uses Spotlight to locate samples. You can also drag individual folders to that list, if you wish.
You exclude disks and folders from Spotlight indexing by dragging them onto the Privacy list in the Spotlight control panel.

Search for missing nearby photos does not work (Win XP Pro)

nothing ever happens, just the 0% next to Lightroom on Windows taskbar can be seen for any length of time. When trying to cancel the task, also nothing happens, just the information "cancelling" which can be read in Lightroom window just below the "Search for nearby missing..." and next to it a red cross.
This function worked fine for me in Lightroom version 1, but since upgrade to v.2 no longer.
Another strange thing is, that when trying to restore LR from Win task bar, the left click has no function, only by rigth click and thereafter click "Restore".

Hi
I dont see any serious reasons why your card reader shouldnt run/function with installed Windows XP.
What you need is the right driver.
The Toshiba driver page provides all Win XP drivers and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.
You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot.
This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.

How to search for a pattern string in entire registry and delete all the keys and subkeys that contain the pattern (C# or VB)?

I want to search for a pattern string in the entire registry and need to delete all the keys and sub-keys that contain the pattern. How can I implement this in VB Script or C#? Appreciate if you can give some sample examples. Now every time, I am manually
searching for the pattern in registry and deleting one by one.
Thanks Prasad

There is no built in way to do this. You'll end up having to enumerate all keys and values in the entire registry and comparing each one for a pattern using Regex or similar. This is going to be really slow but there isn't much else you can do about
it (other than parallelize the enumeration). Also note that you won't have permissions to all keys for read and/or write access so you'll need to skip over those using exception handling.

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

Searching for a string in the xml present in a particular row and column.

Hi All,
We have a table in which in one of the column a complete payload xml is getting stored.
Is there any way to search for a particular string in the stored xml of a particular row?
Thanks in Advance,
Bob

Here is a simple example of what Blu is saying
I have create a table temp_dept like this
SQL> desc temp_dept
Name                          Null?    Type
DEPTNO                                 NUMBER
DNAME                                  VARCHAR2(10)
LOC                                    VARCHAR2(8)
EMP_XML                                XMLTYPE
I have loaded employee detail from emp table into emp_xml as xml data. here is a sample
SQL> select * from temp_dept;
    DEPTNO DNAME      LOC      EMP_XML
        10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK <?xml version="1.0"?>
                               <ROWSET>
                                <ROW>
                                 <EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
                                 <ENAME>CLARK</ENAM
        20 RESEARCH   DALLAS   <?xml version="1.0"?>
                               <ROWSET>
                                <ROW>
                                 <EMPNO>7369</EMPNO>
                                 <ENAME>SMITH</ENAM
        30 SALES      CHICAGO <?xml version="1.0"?>
                               <ROWSET>
                                <ROW>

                                 <ENAME>ALLEN</ENAM
Now i can convert the emp_xml into a table and query like this
SQL> select d.deptno

3       , d.loc
4       , e.*
5    from temp_dept d

7         (
8              '/ROWSET/ROW' passing d.emp_xml

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..?
