EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Missed the start of this, but just went through the same thing myself 
when I upgraded to a new machine.

The EXS will pull over the audio files okay, but not the .exs mappings, 
which is required to actually use the groove control function. I 
haven't used CDxtract, but Translator deals with easily.

BTW, for each (set of) files, there are 2 different mappings, a -GC 
version and a non-GC version. If you just ask the program to convert 
the whole disc, you'll end up with double the number of .exs files (ie: 
Sookie 1, and Sookie 1 -GC), considering there are anywhere from 4-10 
.exs mappings for each collection for groove, that will create a whole 
lot of extra files. It takes longer to do manually, but I opted to do 
it that way and only convert the GC versions.
