Thanks for all that contributed to these files...
BUT am I the only one who wishes there was a 
"Download All Samples & EXS Patches" file????

It will take all day to get em all the way it is now...
MAYBE some kind soul has downloaded them all and could post the complete set!
Ha... yes I'm either lazy or to busy to do it 1 by 1...
sorry & many thanks anyways,

Probably not.  However, making all samples available in one set 
probably is not permitted, since they're hollow-sun samples and only 
available from their website.  Besides, all samples would make a 
massive download.

>It will take all day to get em all the way it is now...

Well, well... an entire day to get a massive set of vintage samples 
and instruments...  Yes, I can see how that would not be worth it... 
:-)

Hmm, I suppose you know the answer to that one yourself, don't you? 
:-)  When I update omega-art to include the latest addition of drum 
machines, I can easily add an 'all instruments' archive though.

I just added some more Hollow Sun instruments:
- all drum machines Michael converted last week
- the latest Hollow Sun additions to the Fairlight archive (bass, 
mallets, woodwinds and high strings).

The list of downloads has been split in 2 parts: melodic instruments 
and drum machines.

Since the Omega Art Logic page was getting way too long and messy, I 
chopped it up in a couple of dedicated pages -- environments, 
tutorials, exs and faq.  All EXS instruments can now be found at:
http://www.omega-art.com/logic/exs.html

The "mother" page is still http://www.omega-art.com/logic/index.html

For those too lazy, busy or greedy to download the Hollow Sun 
instruments one by one, the EXS page now also includes links to 2 
archives that contain all instruments that have been converted so 
far.  For those that are even too lazy, busy or greedy to take the 
time to surf to the Omega Art pages, here they are:

http://www.omega-art.com/logic/exs/hollowsun_synth.zip
and
http://www.omega-art.com/logic/exs/hollowsun_drums.zip

Once more: enjoy...

Hmmm... I wonder if we've covered the entire Hollow Sun site by now. 
If not, we're getting pretty darn close...

I just added the Yamaha CP70 (the electric mini-grand) from Hollow 
Sun to the collection.  Crappy samples...

As far as I can tell, the collection is now complete...  Still at:
http://www.omega-art.com/logic/exs.html

Oh, I also did a new version of the Chapman Stick -- the samples have 
some empty space in front of them and so the trigger point had to be 
adjusted.

I'd like to know how much success  people have had converting Akai or Giga
sample CDs to EXS. Is much tweaking required  afterwards?

Andris

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this (especially Hollowsun, 
since those are the samples that made it all possible..!)

now... on to the next archive... where are more free samples online to convert?

Let's rock!

;-)

Yes, big thanks to Steve @ Hollow Sun and in my case, Garth from Chicken
Systems.

I've been looking too...

Hello,

i am trying to use the Hollowsun_synth, however when i try to load it into Logic 8. It states

Exs24 instrument "Arp odsy bass2exs":

Audio file "Arp Odsy Bass2.wav" not found!

What is "the Hollowsun_synth"?

>, however when i try to load it into Logic 8. It states

The easy answer is: EXS24 can't find the file. (In other words, it's 
telling the truth.) Find the file yourself.

Normally, when EXS24 can't find a file (that is, it's not where the 
.exs says it is), it starts looking for the file name somewhere on 
your system. This is determined by the Preferences option "Search for 
samples on". You can look on Local Volumes or External Volumes, or both types.

If the file "Arp Odsy Bass2.wav" exists on yours system, it would 
have to be on one of the volume types you didn't select, otherwise 
EXS24 would have found it. Or it doesn't.

thanks for replying,

Hollowsun_synth was just a zip file i downloaded, that contained a bunch of vintage synths instruments.

Right. Those Hollow Sun instruments used to be offered from Steve for 
free, but then he eventually had to make money and pulled the 
instruments off because they wound up in the Nostalgia virtual instrument.

The EXS versions are still out there but since the S-5000 originals 
were pulled a long time ago, there's no .wav files to accompany them 
thus they are dead.

While having to make money might've been one (very valid) point, perhaps 
even the main point, it wasn't the only one, though. Another point has been 
the fact that very rarely folks even came up with a "thank you, Steve". They 
were just loading the sounds and that was about it. And IMO there's been 
some really excellent patches which defenitely deserved more than simply 
running away with them. I still use quite some of those patches on a 
regularly base.

I seem to recall that many people thanked him on this list and other 
lists during that time.

Plus I never saw a response form on the site. If you offer free 
sounds, should it not be with strings attached (like a "thank you 
card")? Donation-ware is a valid system, but I never saw any requests 
for donations.

   Hmmm...

I was thinking of doing a Radiohead style pay what you want thing for a 50's - 60's vintage BBC sound effects library after I put it into EXS instrument format from vinyl, presuming that licensing and copyright issues can be dealt with.  It's a ton of work but it'd be fun.

Am I crazy or is it a good idea?  I'm doing it more out of a sense of altruism and preservation of the content than anything else but if any one wanted to give me a few bucks I'd take it.

Any advice would be well appreciated.

Well, if they're not your samples you probably won't get the license  
to give them away, but that's just a hunch...

Better do do your own work and try the pay-what-you-wish approach  
with that.

My info is that I think it was 15 seconds of any sound is not subject to copyright law. It falls into the category of sound effects and is fair game. I'm not a lawyer. I used to be a BMI publisher to a very limited extent back in the day.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction.

I don't know how many people on this list use CDXtract, but it
converts Akai S5/6000 programs beautifully to EXS and makes it very
worth while buying some of Steve Howell's commercial offerings. I have
the Matrix 1000 disk and have been delighted with it. Steve really
knows his stuff as a programmer. I will buy some more in due course.
