EXS library?

Sorry if someone else has answered this already.
Logic 9.1.1 hangs up while loading certain projects now, while trying to find EXS instruments that were used for the project (i.e. Woodwinds "Tenor Sax, among others). Many more are becoming extinct, for example in a new project if you've created a new software instrument track and are browsing sounds to play, many of them show up in the library list in Logic, but the files cannot be found.
What I've discovered is, say in the case of Tenor Sax mentioned above, that the samples are actually on my drive at Main OSX drive/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments, but they're not all showing up in the Logic browser. The Legacy Instruments folder doesn't show up in Logic, which is where the Tenor Sax is located on the drive.
How can I get Logic to see these files again? Obviously it did at one time as I used the instrument in that project. I tried deleting the preference .plist but that didn't solve it. I also tried rebuilding my spotlight index per instructions on other threads, but that also didn't solve it.
Thanks

For those tuning in....I installed Ilife '09, and when I opened Garage Band, I created a new software instrument track, found the Tenor Sax patch, but it wouldn't load. It asked me if I wanted to update the software and download the additional instrument sounds. I said "absofrickinlutely" (that was an option), and voila! the sounds now work in GB and Logic. Problem solved, for now anyway...

Moving an exs library to an external drive

wanna move my own bulky exs library from my mac hard drive to an external drive, could some kind bod on this board explain how this is done?
thankz in advance

i've taken your advice and moved my whole 'akai samples' folder (full of conversions from cd roms) to an exterior drive, successfully freeing up 30 gig on my mac hard drive. now, in the original user/library/app support/logic folder an alias points to the 'akai samples' folder on the external drive. everything loads up fine in exs so that's all good
but what i truly want to achieve is to copy back onto the mac hard drive just the samples for a 'my own faves' folder which contains a coupla hundred instruments sieved out and selected from my general library. for a number of reasons i'd like to have this stuff on my hard drive.
this is where my problem begins.
i can't find those samples in the 'akai samples' folder, i mean, sure, they're there if i root around like crazy and search folder after folder, but the names of the subfolders in the 'akai samples' folder don't correlate at all to the names of my subfolders in the instrument folder, and this is what puzzles mw
hey beej, if this is incomprehensible because you can't see the architecture of my library, no worries and thankz for yr advice so far
anyone else faced this particular stone wall?

EXS 'send to sampler' 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
John Moores"

EXS send to sampler warning.

OK, *LARGE WARNING*
For those of you using the new "send to sampler option" a lot, make sure when saving that you have the assets/ *copy EXS instruments to project folder* and *copy EXS samples to project folder* selected.
I've just pulled up two projects from last week and the "*send to sampler*" instruments samples have completely disappeared, including a six hour cutting up old breaks for my library session which I hadn't transferred to my main EXS library yet.
Good lord.
Those options have since been selected and it seem to be OK.
But we will see... said the blind man.

Well yeah, I know I can do it this way, but that's loads of steps.
What I thought, or rather what I though would have been possible as a "Send to sampler" option, would have been an auto convert transients to individual regions and save as individual regions in a designated file, before automatically loading those sample back to the EXS.
Then I could have saved and indexed those instruments in my main library, not some useless virtual nonsense that is impossible to keep track of. Like I would do with a real physical sampler.
I though that's what the transient feature would have been.
I guess my expectations of this feature were just too good to be true.
Never mind, maybe next year eh.
I give you 5 brownie point for the sentiment though.

EXS sample content moved

Hello - I recently moved my personal EXS library content to a new hard drive; I thought EXS would
automatically locate, but no. How do I get EXS to see the new location without actually
rebuilding each instrument please? Many thanks -

The Logic/GarBand install is about 7GB. Logic incudes the base libraries of GB1 and 2. About 1200 Apple loops of mixed styles. Thousands of softsynth presets, about 1600 Sampler Programs, and 1GB Impulse responses for SpaceDesigner.
Piano is included-the biggest is a 450MB Yamaha Grand. Everything else on your list is covered with a full install, the synth Library is the largest by far between Softsynths and sampler instruments. Logic is worth admissioon for the Library and plugins only.

How do you load exs. format files into EXS 24 sampler?

How do you load EXS24 format files into the EXS24 sampler? the only format I can load directly is aiff and wav. can't find any posts addressing this question? please help

You don't load them in, you need to put them in:
*System/users/your user name/library/application support/logic/Sampler instruments*
Restart Logic if it's running, they will then appear in the EXS library.

Migrating EXS Samples. Logic 6.4 - 8

Hello.
I'm transferring my work from and old g4 powerbook to a new intel Macbook Pro.
I have a lot of unfinished projects on the Powerbook. What is the procedure for transferring my EXS library across?
If I copy the Sampler Instruments folder over, and the samples themselves, will Logic 8 find them? In fact I have no idea where Logic 8 stores samples for the EXS?
Just wondering if there is anything I need to know/watch out for...
thanks

Turns out I spoke too soon.
The EXS sampler cannot load the samples I have moved over. It says they are 'not found'. For example I have a drum breaks exs instrument that contains maybe 80 drum loops. When the sampler opens it says it can't find the files, but the name of them seems to have been changed. Random letters and numbers have been added. For example there is a drum break entitled
AfricanMusic_Machine_-Tropical.wav
But Logic says it can't find AfricanMusicMachineAEE36.wav
When I check the sample's name outside of logic it looks ok again.
Some of the samples load. But very few. If I go to the instrument editor the samples' names are present but they have an explanation mark next to them.
If I click on the exclamation mark and choose 'Open Audio File', I choose the correct file from my sample library but Logic says 'File name too long'.
Any help here would be much appreciated. Is there something I'm missing?
My move from a pb 1.5 to a MBP 2.4 has been totally plagued with problems (not just in Logic) and I'm beginning to wish I'd stayed with a G4 setup. The Trilogy and Atmosphere wrappers are pathetic (I am using them extensively in many an unfinished project)and I can't get Stylus to transfer over in my tracks either. The tracks are bare skeleton versions of what they were, nothing seems to be loading right.
It's all very frustrating.

Can't find Akai samples on Hard drive after EXS 24 Mk II conversion

Hi,
I've recently acquired a large Akai sound library on CD and have imported them onto my Mac Pro via the converter in the EXS 24 Mk II. They show up fine in the EXS Library, but I can't find them anywhere on the hard disk, and I want to remove them and re install them into smaller subfolders, ie, Violins, Flutes etc, rather than just Orchestra.
Everything I've read says that the samples should be in a folder called Akai samples, located in Library/Application Support/Logic. No such folder is showing.
It doesn't make any difference whether I use the 'save converted instruments to sub folder' option or not, they are nowhere to be seen, outside of the EXS library.
I've tried it on both my machines, both running 10.7.5, Logic 9.1.8. (Logic is running in 32 bit mode during the conversion)
Anyone else had this or know a cure??
Thanks in advance for any help!
Jonny
I

Well, I thought that'd cleared it up, but apparently not! The only way I can see the AKAI Samples folder is when using the Reveal in Finder function in the EXS 24. A normal Finder/Spotlight search will not show it, even after re indexing the drive. I can only assume that this is something to do with the fact that the file conversion can only take place through the EXS 24, therefore it doesn't register as existing outside of that... Can this really be? If you go back through the file hierarchy to Library (through the EXS) the Library icon is greyed out too, and double clicking it will not open the library folder. At least I know how to get to it now anyway.

EXS Not recognizing loop points

Hey All,
I've discovered a problem in a bunch of my EXS patches.
EXS is not recognizing the loop points in the patches/samples any longer.
These are the old HollowSun patches and a bunch of my old Akai libraries converted within Logic 6.
I checked that the loop points were still in the samples via Peak, they are still there.
I checked within the EXS editor and loop points are still there and turned on.
Weird.
Any ideas?
Logic 9.1 OS 10.5.8
Thanks.

I'm going to try and word this carefully and nicely.
I'm trying. LOL.
I bought a translation/database/relink/instrument/sampler/management/building package recently as this vendor is the only one who makes a translator for a sampler of mine that I use as a "super" EXS, as it can have many layers, FX, mixing and supports onboard VST FX, etc. It's kinda like Kontakt.
Anyways, I thought I'd get the whole package as I needed to relink my EXS patches, and thought it would be neat to be able to build instruments that could be ported more easily to a few different samplers.
I kept having problems with the translation software. The Instrument builder and the manager simply don't seem to work. At all. Much trouble.
Anyways, the vender updated the translation software and helped a bunch, but it took a long time to get that software stable enough to translate my EXS into the other sampler. OK. It's done now. Cool. It seems to have done a good job.
But I had also tried to relink EXS patches/instruments to samples with this vendors sample manager software. I'm pretty sure that that software corrupted the files I used it with, the files that started this thread. I'm not happy about this obviously.
Anyways I fixed it.
I pulled an old HD out of the archives and reloaded all my libraries. I used CdXtract for conversions and Redmatica for the rest to get my EXS library back up and running. Super duper.
Thanks for your help. I think I figured it out. So far everything is working as expected.

EXS24 Saving takes a LONG time. Bad EXS flaw?

Hi all.
My EXS takes forever to save a new patch. I've had this problem for years and just dealt with it. But now, I'm sick of it.
The reason it takes so long is because of the way the EXS insists on rebuilding/rescanning your entire EXS library every time you add something new to it. It's completely unnecessary. And it makes things a nightmare for those of us who run LARGE exs24 libraries.
I've read of other people with the same problem (I've still never come across a solution!) yet still this problem exists. I can only assume that Apple seem to think that's is perfectly fine for those of us who run large EXS libraries to WAIT for anywhere up to or above 5 MINUTES just to save a new patch to their libraries.
The way it is set up (rescanning the library every time you add something new) clearly doesn't take into account those of us who run large libraries.
It has also made the wonderful new "Convert to New Instrument" virtually unusable to me, as every time I use it, the EXS then rescans the entire EXS library because I've added something new to it, so I literally sit there for ~5 minutes. God help me if I want to use that feature a few times while I'm working on something!
PLEASE FIX THIS APPLE!
Now my question:
Is there ANYBODY out there running a LARGE EXS LIBRARY (mine is about 350gb) who DOESN'T have this problem saving new patches?
If so, how do you get around this?
I've been on Logic for years (back to vers 4 or 5, I can't remember which) and this has ALWAYS been a terrible problem for as long as I've used the EXS as I've always run a large sample library. I'm pretty-much convinced that there is no solution to this and that it is just a terrible EXS flaw that Apple NEED TO FIX, but I guess I've got to ask before I give up entirely.
It shouldn't take 5 minutes to save an EXS patch on an 8-core Mac Pro. And again, it's not the saving of the patch that is the cause of the problem - it's the fact that the EXS rescans your library every time you add something new to it that CREATES this problem.
The main thing I was quietly hoping for before I installed the latest Snow Leopard and latest Logic 9 last week was "Maybe Apple have finally fixed the EXS saving issue!? I'll cross my fingers..!"
.... but no, it's still there. Still the same all these years later.
Anybody have any ideas on how to "minimize the damage" before Apple finally get off their bums and FIX this, and make the EXS more user-friendly for those of us who run large EXS libraries?
Thanks all.

Surely, it's best for organization to have everything TOGETHER?
No, it's best to keep the sampler instruments and samples separate, in the main. If you look at Logic's content, and the jam Pack instruments, they all follow this scheme as well.
By keeping the samples in your sampler instruments directory, you are adding tens of thousands of files to be searched through - no wonder it takes a long time - probably takes ages to load Logic as well.
In addition to the workaround mentioned previously - if you don't save your sampler instruments to the sampler instrument directory, but instead to some other place (eg, the desktop), does Logic rescan the menus? If not, then I'd suggest always saving away from the main sampler instruments directory, and then copy them back there afterwards.
That would take me years to re-organize, not to mention that it starts making things very messy.... having parts of my libraries HERE, and parts of my libraries THERE.... saving new instruments..... backing up libraries.... installing new libraries.... etc...
Not really. IN fact, keeping the samples next to the sampler instruments is in some ways a bad solution - what if you create different sampler instruments based on those samples - do you duplicate a second copy of those samples to keep with those sampler instruments, or do you keep the sampler instruments accessing the samples elsewhere?
BTW Redmatica's ProManager or EXSManager can reorganise your sample library for you in this or other ways checking duplicates, relinking your sampler instruments, and letting you control where you put the samples and how you wish to organise them. Worth thinking about.
My Sample Library is about 290gigs. I keep the sampler instruments and samples separate, and have no organisational problems. And I have no problems with long EXS menu reloads either.

System Overload & How to get the best G4 Performance

Okay all you Logic and OSX Gurus. I need your help. I've finally made the LOGIC leap from OS9 and have hit the SYSTEM OVERLOAD wall like many of you before me.
I've been pouring over this, and many other Forums and Blogs, for about two weeks now, and have tried many of the fixes / solutions to no avail. I estimate I'm now getting about 25% of my OS9 Logic performance from Logic in OSX.
One specific case in point is this. A four minute song sketch. No tempo changes. Four midi tracks, 6 Audio instruments and 2 EFX (1 Guitar Amp Pro, 1 Space Designer that's no even being used).
I have unsuccessfully tried to Bounce this to disc for two weeks now. The AUDIO and DISK I/O Meters barely register until the GUITAR AMP PRO track brings the AUDIO METER up to about 1/3rd usage. At various points in the Bounce the G4 will completely FREEZE, and I will have manually restart.
THINGS I HAVE TRIED, and continue to try are:
- Repairing Permissions
- Trashing Preferences
- Updating MOTU Drivers
- Changing Processor performance setting - which I cannot do BTW, because my system does not seem to support this option.
- Closing all Widgets
- Freeing up more Space on my Mac OSx startup disk (I now have 78.41 Gig available on a 114.49 Gig drive)
- Run Cocktail to clean up System logs and temporary files
- FREEZING TRACKS as a temporary 'fix'. This did nothing BTW but add more strain to the CPU and I still had about 1/3rd the usage with my GUITAR AMP Plugin (and it still crashed).
- Increased AUDIO BUFFER to 1024
So, (and I guess this is really two sides of the same question)...
1) How do I FIX this SYSTEM OVERLOAD problem, and
2) How do I "optimize" my Dual 1.25 G4 in order to get the best performance possible out of LOGIC PRO?
OTHER QUESTIONS I HAVE ARE:
- Does the G4 have the processing power needed to run LOGIC PRO?
- I'm confident adding RAM will "help" (can't hurt), but am I really dealing with a RAM Problem here or, again, can these processors really handle it?
BTW - I'm not looking for an excuse to go shopping for a Quad G5 (I mean who needs an excuse... . But, I'm really trying to determine if at the end of the day I will spend money on RAM, Hard Drives, whatever..., and then still be frustrated and end up shopping.
- Are SCSI drives a problem with Tiger / Logic? These Cheetah drives are fast (10,000 RPM), reliable, and have been great drives to record on. I'm trying to do this simple bounce to one of the Cheetahs and as I said it's just not happening.
- Does the startup volume size effect performance?
- Does the amount of free space on the start up drive effect performance?
- Firewire 400 vs 800? My sample library is on the Firewire drive, and I'm thinking this does not pull a lot on the CPU as these get loaded into memory before playing? Am I right about that? It is Firewire 400.
A long letter and a lot of questions. I thank you all in advance for any answers, guidance or direction you can give. Please also let me know if there is something I HAVEN'T asked, looked at or should be doing.
Best,
Kevin

And after months of using Express, and a week of
using Logic, I hadn't had a system overload until
today. Now I'm having them all the time. It wasn't a
set up change, it wasn't running on the battery, it
wasn't running software monitoring, it's set up with
512 i/o buffer, medium processor buffer. And it
wasn't brought on by number of tracks - that's for
sure. After it started happenind and I took a break &
came back, I was sitting on my couch, Powerbook in
my lap, tapping a beat in with the onscreen
keyboard.... a SINGLE instrument, mind you. NO plugs,
no other tracks of ANY kind. And it happened.
There's a lot of great, relevant and very helpful info on this forum and it all helps and it all counts. But..... so many people are suffering this when moving up to Pro 7 from either Pro 6 or Express. One expects a change in system load when a major update comes along but more and more people are reporting that simply recording 1 or 2 tracks of audio, pure, no plug-ins or EQ is causing an overload whereas in the previous version(s) this was easily accomodated. This, you may have guessed, has happened to me as well. Are we to accept in 1 version increment (albeit a major one) there is such a massive increase in demand from hardware that you cannot record a pure no-plug-in stereo track? When going back to 6.4.3 it will happily record 8 at once, let you EQ and reverb and then do another 8 AND then another. With no troble at all.
It is pointing more and more towards fundamental flaws in the programming. Did L7 come out too soon? Are we just beta testing what is pro software? We are only on 7.1.1 and 6 went to 6.4.3 but at no stage was it this bad at the fundamentals of what the App is for. I love Logic, I really do, but I think, even with all the great help we are fighting what Apple should be addressing. Not that you can find/contact/talk to or get any sort of response from them.
I have tried but have gone back to 6.4.3 until 7.1.2 or even 7.2 appears, but I'm not paying for 7.2. My £200 upgrade from 6.4.3 is now sitting on a shelf desperately wanting to use it.

Yet another LE 8/LP 8 comparison questions

Good morning !
When I learned about Logic 8 this morning, I've browsed all the posts in this forum to learn about what differs between LE 8 and Logic Studio, to see which one best suits my needs. I still didn't see a clear answer to my interrogation, even though some topics were marked as "solved".
Here's what I found so far that comes only with Studio :
- Surround sound, distributed audio, high-end control surface support and TDM support.
- All the Jam packs.
- All the printed manuals.
So here are my questions:
- It says on the product page that Express got new Pro instruments like Ultrabeat, but what about the Vintage instruments (EVP88, EVB3 and EVD6) ? It seems only Studio got them, am I right ?
- I'm also guessing that Express doesn't get Mainstage ?
- Express now comes with the complete EXS sampler, but does it gets the "Studio Sound Library" with it's 1300 EXS instruments or just a few presets ?
My main motivation to go "Studio" is the sounds. I don't care about surround sound creations of complex stuff like that. People are stating that Studio got the jampacks so that alone is worth getting the Studio package, but IMO, all the studio instruments and the sound library are worth even more than the jampacks, and would be the real deal-breaker for me if they were only available in Studio.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for your input !

You are right about the Vintage Instruments, they're Studio-only. Main Stage is Studio-only as well. I don't think Express comes with the whole EXS Library but I'm not sure. As far as the JamPacks, remember those include not only loops but new presets and EXS instruments as well. And talking about sounds, Express won't give you Sculpture which is a **** of a synth.

Need advice about Macbook internal HD and Logic Pro

Hi!
If I use an external Firewire HD for my projects. The Audiofiles gets saved ( recorded ) in the "audio" folder inside the projects folder on the external HD.
Does it have ANY impact on my macbooks ( logic pro's ) performance that the internal HD of the macbook is only a 5400 RPM HD.
Ill try to be silly clear here so u'll understand my question right.
Is the internal Hard disk used in ANY way if the project is on an external HD. Is the internal HD used for playing samples "live" for Ultrabeat, RMX, EXS24 and so on or not or that doesnt matter for performance.
I need to avoid the intern HD so I am wondering what to do. Should I buy a new 7200 RPM HD even if the projects is situated on external HD.
To be uberclear: Macbook, black, intel core duo, 2.0 Ghz, 1 GB intern. 100 Gb 5400 RPM internHd. Logic Pro 7.2.3. External FW HD 7200 RPM. Latest Tiger update.
/ Mikke

yes the internal drive has an impact on performance. this is related to how much RAM you have, but even if you have the max 2GB RAM that you can have in a macbook (or 3GB if they updated it to that like the pros), OSX still uses the system drive for a great deal of swap files. logic does too. it's just the way it all works. back in OS9 days, you may (or may not) remember a thing called virtual memory.. well that hasn't disappeared from OSX as many people think, it's actually built in and always operating under the hood, but it self-manages... there's no need for a user to assign amounts of hard drive for VM, or to assign the memory allocation for applications. OSX does it all by itself, and it does make judicious use of the system drive just to function.
logic also is part of this equation. depending on how you set it up, if some of your exs library is on the system drive (such as the basic library or garage band sounds), then it's possible that logic will access the sys drive at times if you have exs streaming enabled. also, if your freeze files get created on the sys drive, they'll be read from there too.
with all that in mind, the other thing is that the 5400rpm is not really that slow. in fact, if it is a drive that uses the new PMR technology (the 5400s in the latest macbook pro do use this, don't know about the standard macbook), then there have been plenty of tests out there that show it's almost as fast as a 7200rpm longitudinal drive, and under some circumstances, faster.
personally, I ordered a macbook pro with a 7200rpm because I want my system drive to be as zippy as possible for all the fast read/writes that the system does. battery life is not an issue for me as it will always be used in a powered situation. a good review of the 7200rpm drive vs the new PMR 5400s that are the options in the new macbook pros that I read on the net said that the 7200 still does have the slight edge in performance. except, curiously, when the drives are both getting full, at which point they both slow down and the 5400 almost equals the 7200. I wish I could remember the site so I could post the link, it was a laptop review site and they ran their own tests so it wasn't just based on quoted specs.
anyway for me I'm still going to use an external FW800 for audio and sound library, the internal is just for system. I made the choice to go 7200 for the system performance reasons above, but I really don't think you'll be disappointed with the 5400.

I think I may had a kernal panic...

...I say think, because I just experienced something on my Quad that has not occured before, or on any of my other Macs, either.
I was browsing my EXS library, when suddenly a load of text ( white characters on black background) came up on the upper left side of the display. The appearance was as if it was made up of strips of text. I didn't dwell on this too long, because the fans came on, big time (that's never happened before on the Quad), so I hit the power button on the front and switched off. The text did give info, though, and the last line said something like: "waiting for remote debugger."
I started up the computer again: it took a little longer than usual.The fans powered up briefly, then it booted as normal. I repaired permissions, then verified the system drive: all passed successfully. I restarted from the hard drive and it booted up as always: quick and clean.
So, what was that all about,and should I be concerned? Is there anything else I need to check or do, or should I just forget it?
Thanks for any advice.

Unfortunately, since starting to use Logic Pro, I've had more kernal panics than I like to talk about. What you describe, however, does not resemble a kernal panic (where a grey curtain slowly falls upon all your unrecoverable work and the voice of doom (in a dialogue box) tells you that you must restart your computer).
Upon restart from a kernal panic, you will also be invited to send a description to Apple of what you were doing before the dreaded panic happened. You didn't appear to get that invitation. Frankly, I've been using Macs since 1988 and I've never seen what you described.

How can l add a clap to the EXS24 'Popkit'

Greetings, I'd like to have the rim of my Vdrum snare trigger a clap. I'm guessing I drag a sample onto the edit page of the EXS, but I don't find the option of a clap in the 'library'. RTFM or use UB are options I suppose, but starfish await...

Admittedly, I honestly don't remember what EXS library Logic 8 installed... I have sounds from many versions in different folders...
But on the system drive > Library >Application Support > Logic > EXS Factory Samples > Drums & Percussion > Electronic Kits > you'll find 808 and 909 type claps.
Just drag those audio files onto the EXS's keyboard, and define a note range. This is all done from the EXS's edit menu.
Or alternately, you can open the EXS edit menu, and under the Zone tab, select "Load Multiple Samples", and navigate to where the claps are located.

EXS library?
