Some EXS24 instruments loads slow

Hi,
Why is it that some of my EXS24 instruments load very slow. Ironicly the worst ones is some which contains only a few very short samples (drums). What can I do to speed up the process?
When I load a song containing the instruments there's no problem. It's when I open the instruments in a new song.

Basic 3 min song loading takes 20 sec and 37 ms (
this is:
EXS24 = 8
TRILOGY =1
SONIK SYNTH =1
COM,EQ,DELAY,GATE,SPACE DESIGN,AD-LIMITER ect =25
Full song 7 min song loading takes 1min 3sec and 53ms
this is:
40 audio tracks
5 Stylus RMX all load with full presets
3 EXS24
2 Hypersonic each loading fully
60 COM,EQ,DELAY,GATE,SPACE DESIGN,ADLIMITER ect
now this will be different from all systems
I know for sure my G5 dual 1.8 with 1gb of rams will take longer to do this
and if add more rams or get a better processor than my G5 dual 2.5 with 3gb of rams will improve the loading time as well
but just having this setup and running the project manager have solved alot of problems when it comes to loading time
without the pro. man. it'll have taking more than 1
not to mention that this is not only EXS24, all the plug-ins are included in the song loading time
especially Hypersonic which takes like 20 sec just to load plus RMX which also takes like 10-15 sec to load as well
so how about you do a test
create 15 instrument channels with just EXS24 then load samples into them, save the project, close logic down then launch again then time it
just incase you don't know, the project manager only works for
EXS24
Movies
Audio samples
Song files
and logic's plug-ins settings
it does not include 3rd party plug-ins such as SAMPLETANK, STYLUS RMX,HYPERSONIC BFD and all them big dat. plug-ins
so try the test with just EXS24 and see
stash

Some websites are loading slow

Has anyone experienced slow loading of certain websites since late this afternoon, in particular youtube and BT Yahoo mail? These have been slow loading and sometimes wont open at all. However it seems fine now.

EXS24 is so slow if loading an instrument i never used before

EXS24 is so slow if loading an instrument i never used before. But after the 1st tough time, loading of this patch can be very fast later even after restarting system thousands of times:-)
I did not change and use any personal setting of ESX24 data fodler. even if loading a Logic factory sounds, it still happens. only the 1st once time is tough. i tried reinstall Logic 721, the problem is still existing. i tried scaning and save
scaned data in Project Manager, seems not helpful.
i think EXS24 is seeking samples data when the 1st time i want to use it. it doesn't make sense because all data is in the local hard drive and i have set
specific directories to scan in project manager.
may be this problem is caused by BootCamp. because i installed an XP system
under wizard from BootCamp. But logically, we can simply initialize user information of Logic for fixing the seeking problem. but i don't know where those information or configuration are stored in OSX.

i don't think it's normal behavior. because all instruments in my local partition
are Factory sound bank only:-)
once time I tried converting some GIG into EXS24 format according to the PDF guide, it was pretty good even the 1st time loading.
this morning I plug a USB hard driver on my MBP, and then loading a patch
i never used before. seems surely EXS24 is seeking data, because this a light
on this USB hard driver was shining for couple seconds before the end of loading.
anyone knows how to block the seeking directorys of EXS24 during loading?
according to the Manual of EXS24, only default directory and user-defined directories shall be available. but now seems something's wrong.

Very slow load times on EXS24 instruments?

Hi everyone - I have a troublesome problem..
At the moment this only seems to happen garage band instruments loaded in exs24
When I try to load instruments from garageband i get to enjoy the spinning wheel and about 3 minutes of load time [and this wouldnt be the first stime i would have loaded the instrument]
When it does finally cease spinning it asks me to choose between the garage band samples, or dupe sampler files in self contained projects.
I always pick the garageband directory..
Is there a way to decrease the loading time?

This tends to happen when you have more than one copy of the EXS sample on your drive network. As soon as EXS sees two of a sample, especially if there is no existing direct link in the EXS instrument, it will tend to scan your whole system for any and all potential duplicates. This can take a while.
My only suggestion is delete the duplicate samples and make sure your instruments all contain path links to the appropriate samples. Bear in mind that if you store samples in the project folder, at least those should be found quickly, but it will not solve the problem of loading new patches into the project.
To be able to find and get rid of duplicate samples and re-establish the links in a batch fashion, I highly reccommend EXS manager by Redmatica.

HT3989 i've migrated from my macbook pro to iMac and now some patches of the exs24 instrument do not work in logic

hi community,
I recently bought a new imac and migrated form my macbook pro. I'm running logic and when i opened one of my logic project files i've been working on, some files (mostly exs24 instrument files) would not load up with the project file...a message was displayed with each file that could not be "detected" with an option to "Continue" or "Search again"...if you "search again" nothing happens and if you "continue" the files ends up loaded up with the exs24 instrument on some tracks not reading the patch file? This also happened with some audio files which would not load with a logic project file? I really do not want to reinstall and risk losing anything more...please help

Hi
Migration Assistant seems not to work well for some with Logic. Probably the easiest way to sort this would be to re-install the content.
You could check Library:Application Support:Logic and Library:Application Support:GarageBand for the "missing" files to see if the really are there.
If they are, it may be a Spotlight issue, which can be fixed by 're-building' the Spotlight Index.

Logic 9 Pro won't load apple loops library or EXS24 Instruments!

First off, specs:
I'm running 9.1.8 on OSX 10.8.2
I recently purchased a brand new 13" MacBook Pro (early this december) and used migration assistant to transfer my accounts, apps, and such from my old hard drive to my new one. Everything seems to be in its place and running fine, except for Logic 9 Pro.
Whenever I load up a session featuring the EXS24 sampler, the loading bar will hang up upon loading the instrument, eventually turn into the spinning wheel of death, and become unresponsive. This also happens when I create a new session, open up a new instance of EXS24, and attempt to load a patch. All of the other stock Apple instruments load up just fine.
I also noticed that Logic can't locate my Apple Loops Library, as every option in the loop browser is grayed out. I went into my library folder and found the EXS patches as well as the Apple loops, so I know they're there!
Unfortunately, I don't have a Logic 9 CD (It came preinstalled on my previous computer), so to my knowledge reinstallation isn't an option, unless there's a way to reinstall Logic 9 without a CD and without losing my license. I've already tried the following to resolve this issue:
- Reindexing spotlight
- Reindexing loop browser
- Disabling spotlight on the volume where the Logic files reside
- Deleting the Logic 9 preference file
If anyone has any insight or a way to reinstall Logic 9 Pro without a CD and without losing my license, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Hi
You probably need to re-index the Loop Library.
In Logic 9 control click on the Loop Library and choose "Reindex"
In Logic X use the Loops Menu at the top and again, choose "ReIndex".
If that does not do it, you may need to manually remove the Index files

Logic Pro 9 will not find some EXS instruments

I recently updated to Logic Pro 9.1.0, and today tried to load a project I've been working on for a few weeks (prior to the update), only to be greeted by the message "EXS24 Instrument 'Name.exs' not found."
A few sites have suggested re-indexing my Spotlight and restarted, and I have tried that to no avail. I also tried setting the EXS options to "All Drives". What's strange is that some instruments are loaded, but others are not. If I search for the filename using Spotlight, I can see they are located on the drive where they always have been.
What's potentially unusual about my installation is that I have a symlink at "/Library/Application Support/Logic" pointed at one of the other internal drives where I store all my Logic data. This has always worked before, and I don't really have enough space on the boot drive to put all of Logic's samples in /Library.
Does anyone have any clues how I could get my project loading again?

one shouldn't move installed content from the default places
It's not that so much, it's that you must understand Logic's behaviour in how, why and what to move, as it varies depend on the content.
I for one have used symlinks with Logic (and other apps, too) for years without a hitch until v9.1.
As I've said - for some of Logic's content this always used to work fine. For others, it *does not work*. I'm not going to list all the various types of content and paths that don't work with symlinks, but it's enough, trust me.
There are several reasons why one would have content elsewhere even without such novel application as Dropbox makes possible, for instance harddrive space and simply organization.
Of course. I'm not saying there isn't. I'm simply that that in some cases, Logic does not make this easy, and it's a bit of an unsupported hack in some cases. For other content, such as samples, Logic has always been designed to be flexible and there aren't many problems moving it or aliasing/symlinking it.
Personally I have all the factory content on the system disk in the default location these days, but I prefer to have the user content elsewhere.
Me too. And I've invested some time in understanding what can and can't be moved, what works and what doesn't, and have set up my system according to this and to my needs.
It is absolutely aggrevating for Apple to overlook such a thing, or a fix to take so long
Sure.
to read on a forum "just don't do it like that if it doesn't work"
Sure. but these help forums are to get people going, not to endlessly wallow and moan about why it doesn't currently work the way I want it to. I can moan with the rest of them, but I mostly choose to deal with it in the best way I can for the time being and revisit it if the situation should change in the future.
I'm not a coder, but based on what I've read on forums and asked a couple of coder friends, this shouldn't be the most complicated matter to make work. Many of them have suggested that it's probably only an overlooked thing in the API change, not a huge ordeal.
Yes, probably so, however sometimes things that seem simple on the outside aren't always trivial to implement.
All you can do in the meantime, is report the behaviour, and set up your system the best you can to work in a practical way. If this is impossible, revert to an older version, and hope that a future version changes the behaviour.
But I don't recommend leaving things broken and expecting it to be fixed imminently, because this may not be the case.

EXS24 instrument created from audio region- How to move files?

In Logic Pro X. I have created an EXS24 instrument from an audio region with 3 well-separated sounds. The instrument in EXS24 editor shows a zone with 3 files. Each file is actually the same physical file, but, when examining the three separate "files" (what should I call them??), a different section is highlighted for each tone. I can set a note for each of these "files". This instrument plays perfectly.
So now I have 2 files in my project folder - a .exs one for the instrument, and ONE SINGLE .wav file somehow representing three different samples. I want to move them to ~Library/Application Support/Logic/folderName, where folderName is , say, myInstruments (for .exs) and mySamples (for .wav). When I do this, and erase the files in the project folder, I can load the instrument and the sample file into EXS24, but the sample file is recognized as one single tone - that is, in the EXS24 editor, there is only one file rather than 3, and that file has all three audio sounds.
How do I move these files correctly? Is there some way to get them created originally in the correct place?

Drum Loops Missing But Plays Fine? EXS24 Instrument "2-step remix.exs"

Half of my drum loops play just great in the loop browser but when I drag them to the playhead I get the error message "EXS24 Instrument "2-step remix.exs" not found." and the same loop that just sounded great in the loop browser instantly morphs into some nasty series of sine wave beeps and clicks. What could possibly cause this?
Much thanks for any ideas.

That does make a lot of sense, I'll check the computers tomorrow when I get back to the studio and see. I usually sling the control over to "never" for putting the computer to sleep but I don't remember doing anything to the HD sleep.
Many thanks for that suggestion, fingers crossed.

Question for EXS24 instrument editor experts!

Can anybody help with this?
here's what I'm trying to do:
I'm trying to combine a solo violin instrument and a solo cello instrument into one EXS24 instrument that has the violin in the higher octaves and the cello in the lower octaves, not overlapping (to use with my EWI).
These are VSL (Vienna Symphonic) instruments, a different sample every half step, 3 velocity layers (different group for each velocity layer). So each instrument has around 150 audio samples.
Here's what i tried so far:
I opened the violin instrument, I added a new group and named it "solo cello pp". I drag dropped all the cello pp samples into the new group. I chose "auto map" in the dialog box.
OK, when I look in the new group it got all the zone key notes right (zone key note matches the audio sample name)
But... every zone has a key range of "Lo C-2, hi G8" so when I play the patch I'm hearing all the samples playing at once (because every zone has the full key range)
OK ... I can just go type in the correct key range for each zone (like for the A#3 sample: "Lo A#3, hi A#3" etc.) but with 150 samples per inst., that's typing in a field 300 times! Kind of insane! and I plan to build several instruments like this (trombone/trumpet, bassoon/oboe etc.)
Is there a smarter way to do this?
I suppose I could probably just keep the violin & cello instruments separate, constrict their ranges so they don't overlap, have them on separate tracks, record enable both tracks, and play it that way. But it would just be more idiot proof to have it all in one EXS24 instrument.
Any help would be appreciated.

EXS is not the easiest to work with.........
but , do this:
bring two EXS's up on two different channels.
load the vlns in one, the cello in the other.
open the cello edit pane. switch to "group" and select all groups.
open the edit menu and click on "copy".
next, open the vln editor, then click on edit and select "paste".
this should copy the cello in the vln pane.
if they overlap, you'll have to move them an octave and probably limit the range.
save as....... a new patch.

Since update, various sites load very slowly and some do not load until "Reload Current Page" is clicked several times.

Since Firefox update (6.0.2) many sites load very slowly and some do not load at all (green circle rotates infinitely) until "Reload Current Page" is clicked on 2 to 12 times.
Returned to version 5. No more slow load.
Automatically re-updated me to 6.0.2 and now slow again.
Returned to FF 5 again and turned off automatic update.
Downloaded 7.0.1 and the problem seems to be solved.

Same here, only that updating to 7.0 or 7.0.1 doesn't seem to solve this issue. Seems to have something to do with loading images (e.g: adobe.com stops loading when "wwwimages.adobe.com" is being loaded. imdb.com, on the other hand, seems to load images very slowly and not all of them).
Safe-mode. disabling add-ons, clearing cache and cookies and checking for malware doesn't help.

Upgraded to Mavericks, now I can't get some websites to load

I am not sure if the two issues are related, but I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks and now my internet browsers are really slow and I can't get some websites to load. When I check to see if the website is up, the response from http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is that it is just me. I assume it must be something with the upgrade as I did not have the issue prior to upgrading. I have tried accessing these sites in various browsers (Safari - preferred, Firefox, and Chrome), but none of them receive data from the site.
I also had a lot of trouble attaching a .jpg to an e-mail in Safari and Firefox. Google Chrome was finally able to get it to attach. I wonder if this is related.
Some of the websites that won't load are

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SharePoint Page loading slowness

After our company went through some acquisition process windows team established a two-way trust relationship between our DC and theirs. But, I suspect due to greater distance between the location of two data-centers users from both side experiencing a significant

HOW DO I TRIGGER GROUPS IN AN EXS24 INSTRUMENT VIA MIDI FROM THE SCORE

HOW DO I TRIGGER DIFFERENT GROUPS IN AN EXS24 INSTRUMENT VIA MIDI CONTROLLER MESSAGES FROM THE SCORE - PLEASE ? WHERE DO I GO IN DOCUMENTATION AS HAVE GIVEN UP FOR TIME BEING WITH MULTI INSTRUMENT WHERE I CAN'T SEEM TO DEFINE CUSTOM BANK SELECTS BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND THAT OPTION. BUT MAYBE I'M ON THE WRONG TRACK ANYWAY! WITH THANKS

For those who are following this thread I have received the following info from LPH: it hasn't dealt with this through midi controllers but with key switches in a v. easy to work with fashion, though I would still like to have a result with former, if there is anybody that can give me a clear proceedure. Christian thanks for your help and if you are offay with MC's then I love to hear from you!
METHOD #1
Create a duplicate track for those instruments which you're keyswitching. Let's just focus on one instrument for now, flute. Create a duplicate track assigned to your flute instrument ("new track with same instrument/channel"). Next, copy all of the regions from the original track onto this track and merge (glue) them to create one contiguous track. Of course if you have only one region for the part, just copy the region over to the new track.
Then go into the piano roll editor and swipe the keyboard on the left in the range of your keyswitches. Then use the command "toggle selection" and hit DELETE. Now you have a region that contains only your keyswitches.
Or, of course, you can just swipe the range that the instrument plays in. Then hit DELETE. Either way...
The final step here is to untick the "score" checkbox for this keyswitch-only region (region parameters). Now, both tracks will still play, except only the actual flute part will appear in your score.
METHOD #2
In the score editor, open the staff style for the part. Set the highest note/lowest note range to (visually) filter out the keyswitch notes. This may seem like the easiest way to do things, but it will require you to have a distinct staff style applied to each part. For example, if you're using the Treble staff style for multiple parts (picc, flute, bass clarinet) and their key switches are in different ranges of the keyboard (as is the case with some libraries), you will need to create duplicates of "Treble", name them accordingly (picc, flute, b.clarinet), assign them to the various regions playing those parts, and then set their highest/lowest note values accordingly.

How do you save sample regions in the EXS24 instrument editor?

Hi There, I don't if my memory has failed me or something was changed in Logic pro 9 but I can't get a EXS24 instrument to save the sample region sections I set?? I open EXS24 click on edit, click on load zone, load a sample, click on edit in sample editor, set the region and then the new region doesn't set inside the EXS24 sample editor window? Tried saving the instrument, but it doesn't up date the selection? It just keeps the entire waveform as the sample? What am I doing wrong here? In the past this was really simple, you just moved the region on the sample area you want and the sample begin and end setting automatically update inside the EXS24 instrument editor window and then you just saved the instrument and each piece of the audio file as and how you set it was then on your keyboard ready to be used. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

Got it to work, seems I had to resave the audio file again... weird glitch...
