I searched the forum before posting, and did not find an answer to my question. If this has been answered before then I apologize.
I just upgraded my OS to Catalina and my version of Logic to 10.5.1. I have successfully placed my gigasamples files in the correct folder in that I can see them populate in the Sampler menu drop down list. The problem is when I select a gigasample, Logics Sampler will not convert it. It doesn't matter if the .gig file is directly on the main hard drive or if it is aliased to another. The Sampler program will see it but not convert it.
Now heres what works but is a hassle. I have an older mac and am able use my older version of Logic to convert the gigasample files into exs24. I then import them into the new computer and then Sampler will read them. I have a lot of gigasamples so this is not an ideal method. Additionally, as everyone knows, there is no batch conversion in any version of Logic. I also do not want to spend 160$ on Chickensys Translator for a one time batch conversion.
What would be great is to figure out why this latest iteration of the EXS24 Sampler does not convert, even though the manual says it does.
Any suggestions or insight is appreciated.
