iangtu23 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 i've downloaded some .sf2 file and wanted to use it in exs24 but in vain. i've search the internet, it said the exs24 will convert the .sf2 file automatically. i put the sf2 file at both user/library/application support/logic/sampler instrument and Macintosh HD/library/application support/logic/sampler instrument but it doesn't work with me. so i tried to convert it first by download cdxtract 4 (demo) but it doesn't open on my computer. it just shows the image on dock but nothing has come out, nor did the bar on top of the screen change to cdxtract. plz help me if anyone has experienced the same awkward thing. i'm frustrated. http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/1075/2011082013951.png see this chinese orchestra Er Hu? it is gray and i can't click it http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/5094/2011082014016.png and so i chose other existed .exs files, they also appeared gray. really appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael2 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 typically i just drag the .sf2 into the folder and then doubleclick the .sf2 in the instruments menu and it creates a new exs instrument. i have had instances where one wouldn't work or where it crashed Logic everytime I would try to open it. usually at that point if they're free I just trash them, if I paid for them I try opening them with something else like the bs-0 soundfont player (free).

leroy Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hi iangtu23 (sorry for the bad englich ^^) I don´t understand how you mean click hold the instrument's name, not loading the setting!!! How do you get to see the file name or instrument´s name without the drop down menu load setting ??? I try to load couple .sf2 files from the web site Hammersound (free) but unfortunately I can´t get no sound out of the exs24 (I can see them in the menu but no sound) the awkward thing is that if I put them in the username/library/Audio/sound/bank folder the DLSMusicDevice plug-in give me sound but no option to change the instrument within the sf2 file I hope someone can help me out I would really appreciated that Thank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
