The larger the instrument, the longer it will take, depending on your settings choices. For this instrument with the settings I chose, it will take app. Time to make a phone call, check my email, make coffee, etc. When I play it, it sounds great, a bit softer but nearly identical. The only issues for me are that the sustain is too long and when I raise the vibrato with the mod wheel, I get too much vibrato. No problem. I open up both in Logic Pro X and play a region in.

You tell me which one is which when you listen to the two, one after the other. Wow, that went really well! I think I will do a staccato articulation next. Same settings but fewer velocity layers for a short articulation should be fine.

I think I would like to make a key switched instrument with these two articulations. I navigate to where the staccato samples were saved and drag them into Ungrouped this window. I assign it to Auto map and now they are in the instrument. I then go under the Group menu, choose New Group. Then in the Ungrouped, I press Command-A to select all the staccato samples and drag them into the newly created group.

I then rename the group Staccato and rename the first group legato, so that we now see that reflected. Next in the editor I switch from Zones view to Groups and I see that the ranges are not correct, as they show a low of C-2 and a high of G8. I adjust them to C2-E5. Now we need to assign them to keyswitch notes. Now when I hit the keyswitch notes and play, I hear the correct articulations. The only problem is that the staccatos are too loud relative to the legatos. I drag the volume for the staccatos to And now I am happy.

All that remains is for me to click the Red button in the upper left hand corner to exit the editor and when I do, Logic asks me if I want to save the instrument, which I do.

Using this method I can add more articulations, like trills, for example, and then create an Articulation Set for the instrument, and save it to my library. More articles by this author.

When I do that i see the list of instruments drum kits in my case that have been there all along. I dont see the extra kits and sounds that apperantly come with EXS or sampler in The Library shows installed patches, settings, channel strip settings, organised by folders.

The Logic library contains a wealth of content that you can generally load directly by clicking, as patches also load the plugins instrument and effects plugins that the patch requires. The instrument slot shows “Instrument Plugins’.

Choose “Sampler”, and now the Library will show you the various saved patches for that instrument that you can load with it. Clicking on those patches directly will load the Quick Sampler plugin, and the samples and settings used for that sound.

There’s a difference between, eg, the plugin called “Quick Sampler”, and a folder in your Library, named “Quick Sampler” in the library, that contains patches you can load into the Quick Sampler. That folder could just as easily have been named “Cool sounds for the Quick Sampler”.

And once again, the EXS24 has been completely replaced by “Sampler”, which is essentially the same thing, but with a more accessible interface and more tools, and yes, is part of Logic and cannot be removed. It loads completely all EXS24 sampler instruments. So stop looking for the EXS or trying to install something, that’s not how it works. Yes, I did, at least for drums. Do you think it would matter if I select mono, stereo, multi-output or 5.

I tried but it didn’t seem to make a difference. Nothing acoustic. Anybody an idea? Second question: when I go to the sampler and activate ‘mapping’ to create my own kit, I need to drag in the samples piece by piece.

I can not find the repository where the samples can be found, heard, selected and dragged into the sample mapping. Any tips and tricks here are also welcome. Yes, you can edit all those kits, save your edited versions, and add whatever extra samples you want to. You get a huge amount of stuff in Logic, but you don’t get everything you would ever need.

Discussion – Logic pro x exs24 tutorial free download

 

This lets me trigger my guitar loop, in full, by recording in or drawing a note at C3 that lasts for 4 bars at 80 Bpm. Now the fun begins! If we head back to EXS24’s main interface, we can see that we have a small selection of tools and modulation sources at our fingertips to play with. To begin, let’s give the guitar loop a warbly effect by modulating its pitch with an LFO – I can do this using the 2nd slot in EXS24’s modulation matrix, choosing ‘LFO 1’ as source and ‘Pitch’ as destination.

I like this effect but the repetitiveness of the modulation makes it sound a bit mechanical – I can rectify this by modulating the LFO rate itself with another LFO! Setting LFO 2 to 0. It’s time to introduce a different modulation source – we could turn to EXS24’s envelope options but I feel they’re quite a well-used modulation source and I want to introduce something a bit more musical into the mix. So, let’s take advantage of EXS24’s sidechain abilities and introduce some more audio into the equation!

If you’re on Logic Thanks for your reply! I am using If you refer to the menu library with, bass, drumkit, electric drumkit, guitar, mallet etc etc, it does not have a sampler option. It does have a quick sampler option, which gives me the option between arpeggiator, keys and pad. But those dont lead to the extensive set of extra drumkits and drum samples that EXS24 is supposed to bring. Am i looking in the wrong spot? Do i need to install or activatie something somewhere?

You want the instrument plugin menu, not the library, which is a different thing. Where can I find that? Have searched all menus a couple of times now but cannot locate it.

The help function in logic also doesnt seem to point me in the right direction. So, is EXS standard in logic, or do i need to either download this or activate this somewhere? Thanks a lot for your answer.

This clarifies a lot. One more question if I may. Whats the instrument slot? Where can i find this? Can you maybe add a screenshot or have some specific directions where i can click on this? I am just not managing to find where i can access the list of samples etc. Jep, found it. Thanks, Paul. This is not the case for regular drum kits. Have you explored Drum Kit Designer?

I do indeed think that the kit designer is a cool feature. Use Chromatic to create an instrument When you drag a Chromatic option, Sampler chromatically maps samples as zones across the keyboard range, starting from C2.

Choose the Chromatic drop zone that works best for the sample you’re using: With Zone Per File, Sampler creates one zone for each sample dropped on the dropzone, in one group. With Split at Silence, Sampler creates a new group for each sample dropped on the dropzone. Each sample is split at extended periods of silence, with a zone created in the associated group for each of these segments. Edit groups and zones After you’ve created your sampler instrument, you have full access to edit functions in Sampler.

Set start and end markers, set loop points, and more To set start and end markers, add fade ins and fade outs, set loop points, add loop crossfades, and more without leaving the Sampler, click Zone in the Sampler toolbar. Process your instrument You can process your entire instrument using Sampler’s powerful built-in synthesizer, mod matrix, and modulators. Click Synth in the toolbar to control global and filter settings for the entire loaded sampler instrument.

Click the Details button at the top right of the Synth pane to view or hide the Synth Details slide-out pane, which provides additional parameters.

Click Mod Matrix in the toolbar to route any modulation source to any modulation target. You can use up to twenty modulation routings simultaneously.

Learn more. Click Modulators in the toolbar to access the four identical LFOs low frequency oscillators , which you can use to control and add animation to your instruments. Learn more about Sampler’s LFOs. Open and play a built-in instrument Logic Pro includes a large library of pre-designed sampler instruments like acoustic pianos, basses, strings, and horns, which you can play and record with Sampler. In your project, create a new software instrument track.

In the new tracks dialog, click the Details triangle to open the bottom of the dialog, then choose Sampler from the Instrument pop-up menu. Click the Library button in the toolbar, then choose a sampler instrument to load. Click Mapping in the Sampler toolbar to see and adjust how samples are mapped to keys. You can double-click Mapping to maximize the Mapping pane. In the Mapping pane, use the keyboard view to graphically edit zones and groups. Or use the zone view to edit zones numerically in a table.

You can also create empty zones and add samples to them, add multiple samples at once, and more. Click the Zone pop-up menu on the Mapping pane toolbar to access functions like auto-mapping, auto-looping, and more. To set start and end markers, add fade ins and fade outs, set loop points, add loop crossfades, and more without leaving the Sampler, click Zone in the Sampler toolbar.

In the Zone pane’s waveform display, zoom in or out with pinch gestures, or scroll the waveform display using two-finger swipes or by dragging the scroll bar. You can use single-finger swipes if you’re using a Magic Mouse. You can process your entire instrument using Sampler’s powerful built-in synthesizer, mod matrix, and modulators.

Logic Pro includes a large library of pre-designed sampler instruments like acoustic pianos, basses, strings, and horns, which you can play and record with Sampler. If you created custom sampler instruments using the EXS24 sampler, you can open them in the Sampler, play them, and edit them in the new interface.

Any zones and groups you created transfer as you created them in EXS Parameters like playback mode, pitch, and velocities all transfer as well. To load a sampler instrument created with EXS24, simply load the instrument from the Library or from the pop-up menu at the top of the Sampler window. Sampler uses the same file extension as the EXS If you have a large library of custom sampler instruments, you can use Search Filter to find particular software instruments.

Quickly create a sampler instrument To quickly create a sampler instrument, just drag one or more samples to the Navigation Bar in Sampler.

For reasons I cannot understand, under Type I see Group for legato and nothing for staccato, but by holding the mouse down on each, I change them to Note and they default to C Sampler finds loop points, balances the volume levels of the zones based on their loudness, and automatically crops the zones.

Choose the Optimized drop zone that works best for the samples you’re using:. When you drag a Chromatic option, Sampler chromatically maps samples as zones across the keyboard range, starting from C2. Each zone is mapped to a single key on the keyboard.

Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options If you’re on Logic Thanks for your reply! I am using If you refer to the menu library with, bass, drumkit, electric drumkit, guitar, mallet etc etc, it does not have a sampler option.

So, let’s take advantage of EXS24’s sidechain abilities and introduce some more audio into the equation! The hi hat loop contains very well-defined and rhythmic sounds, which is pretty ideal for use as a modulation source. I can use this loop as a sidechain signal by selecting the appropriate track number from the drop-down list in the top right corner of EXS24’s main interface – in this case it’s ‘audio 2’ I want to use. I also made the pan modulation more complex by modulating it with LFO 2 via the sidechain signal, meaning the amplitude of the hi hat loop will scale the LFO’s value in modifying the position of the guitar loop in stereo space.

A quick Google search will bring up loads of different free EXS24 instruments as well as tutorials on how to make your own. There a lots of Reddit forums, websites, communities, and google drive folders, that share and recommend instruments and sample libraries that people have created.

The best resource is definitely Pianobook — a website that brings together samplists from across the world who post all their sample instruments and sample libraries for free. Logic Pro doesn’t include EXS24 anymore. You can still play instruments, your previous sample library, and any. If you’re on a newer version of Logic you will not have access to the old layout however the new sampler layout is more streamlined and intuitive than the old EXS24 one — but still very fiddly and quite hard to navigate.

EXS24 instruments are playable in GarageBand but only if you have used it on Logic and saved it as a patch. There is a thread that explains this process in more detail but this means that you cannot use these instruments in GarageBand unless you already have Logic Pro.

If you want to expand your instrument library on GarageBand then you are best off using virtual instruments and plugins. You can find more free synth VST plugins here. Table of Contents. Download Indossa Synths on Tape Here.
