EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi All,

Just came across this free 260 mb download of multi layered electric 
bass samples that looks interesting.

Haven't tried it yet -  I'm in the process of downloading right now. 
The download seems very fast, considering the size.

I finally installed it, and it's pretty nice!

FWIW, I had to shorten the name for the giga file to be recognized in 
the EXS sampler instrument list.

Also, don't miss this -- from the [sound] page:

I installed them too, and to be honest it was pretty much a mess.
First, the ZIP file contains all the WAVs plus the SF2 file plus the  
giga file! So it's a 260 MB download for about 120 MB worth of  
samples. Obviously intended for distribution on CD and not for download.
Then all WAV files are named 1.wav or 2.wav or 3.wav or 4.wav., and  
they are placed in various subfolders. Once I had moved these folders  
into my samples folder, EXS24 couldn't identify the samples. While  
first loading the instrument, EXS24 asked a gazillion times which  
sample is the correct one. Something else must have been got messed  
up too, because most samples sounded very noisy and scratchy. In the  
end I had to re-assign all the sample files, but then everything  
worked fine.

One might think the samples are high resolution (quote: "Eingespielt  
in höchster Qualität in 24 Bit/96 KHz") but they all are 16 bits/44.1  
kHz. Glad that they are, the download was really huge enough.

oops, I missed that one. In fact I could not load neither the SF2 nor  
the giga file (both are shown as "executable UNIX file" here - huh?).  
But there was also a EXS file in the ZIP archive.

Dear Ingo

Thanks for all those tips and hints. After all those
little desasters do you think it is still worth it?

Thanks

Markus

Thanks so much for sharing those METAL SOUNDS from
Germany.
Beautiful stuff.

Well, perhaps there's an easier way. I didn't try what happens if the  
wav files are not moved. Maybe EXS24 can locate them better then.
Or let EXS24 convert the giga or the sf2 file.

That would depend on how expensive a 260 MB download is. No doubt  
these are nice samples: four different samples for each semitone from  
D2 to E4. The samples are not looped, that's why the file is so large.

Thank you to whoever recorded and uploaded this metal sounds  
collection - very useful!

Is there an accompanying EXS instrument for these sounds?  
I see only the samples themselves and wondering if I have to create my own.

Ah! Alice in the miracle country...

Aren't those best used as [one-shot] Apple loops?

Anyway, creating an EXS for these is a matter of 1 drag + drop operation: see "multiple samples", page 561, plug-in reference manual.
