EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I do it the same way.  I don't use soundfont convert.  The sf file needs to
be in the Sampler Instruments folder.  The first time I ever select it,
there's a quick convert and it's ready to play.  Some soundfonts are so
small that a fraction of a second is all the conversion takes.   But it
should then be loaded and ready to play.

Check the Sampler Instruments folder to see if there is a ".exs" version of
the sf2 file.  If not, then that's weird and I can't help you.  If it is
there, you might try playing every note on your keyboard to make sure that
it isn't mapped out for just a couple of notes,  but the big clue that
something is wrong is that it is grayed out.   That doesn't happen to me.
I'm on OS9 with LAP 5.3.  Does the name of the soundfont show up in green on
the EXSP like the other instruments immediately after conversion?

This would make sense, except that it plainly states in the documentation
that it is 
supposed to work. When I go to the options menu in exsp, and select
soundfont 
convert, it says something to the effect of "place the .sf2 file in the
sampler 
instruments directory and select it from the pull-down menu, and it will
automatically 
be converted. When I try to do this, the dialog box that normally says
"converting 
soundfont instrument bank" pops up for a fraction of a second, but goes away
before 
it gets started. The soundfont file then becomes grayed out in the pulldown
menu.
