I have some exs instruments that I have bought, but I have no idea, how to get them to my Logic 8. I copyed the files to hdd/users/my user/library/application support/logic/sampler instruments, but they don't show up in Logic virtual intruments folder.

Hi Manchoa,

You are on the right track. What you do now, is leave the Instruments in this folder, where it is. Now, create a new folder, and place the Samples into it. I always give this folder the exact same name as the Instruments Folder, and add Samples to this name. You can save this folder on any drive. I saved mine on an external firewire drive. I made a separate folder for all of my EXS Samples called EXS Samples. When you open Logic, and the EXS, click the refresh prompt. You may have to point the Instruments to the Samples, but I don't think we have to, with the later versions. Hope this helps. Have fun, and enjoy the Holiday Season. All the best in the New Year too. Take care, lucace 2002

So should I put the instrument files (i think, they are exs files) to hdd:/library/application support ect or to the hdd:/users/my user/library, ect and should i make new folders for all the instrumetns to this folder ?


thanks

Hi Manchoa,

All of the .exs files are your Instrument files. They go in one folder for each particular Instrument package. When you buy another package, take the .exs files from that package, and place them in a new folder, with the name of that Instrument. I place these files where you mentioned in your original letter (users/my user...Sampler Instruments).

When you buy another instrument package, take the .exs files from that package, and place them in a folder with the name of that Instrument. The .wav files are usually in a folder just called Samples. Just add the name of your .exs Instrument file folder before Samples. For example, if your .exs files are called Acoustic Guitar 1, just name your .wav files Acoustic Guitar 1 Samples, and place it in any other drive. This will help you keep track of which .exs files go with which .wav files on your other drive.

However, to help keep things organized with your .wav Samples, create a master folder on your other drive. I just called this folder EXS Samples Folder. Each new Instrument Samples folder is placed in this master folder, and your .exs Instrument Folders are in your users/my user... Sampler Instruments Folder.

I hope that this makes sense. Take care Manchoa. Lucace2002

OK, guess I should have said it works perfectly in my usage of it.
