Hi,
For no apparent reason, the EXS24 keeps freezing/ crashing every time I use the Steinway Piano patch which I was using absolutely fine seconds before. I simply closed one project, went to open another and it failed to load, stalling on the Steinway piano instrument. Now this is the case in every other project that uses that instrument. All other EXS24 and logic instruments appear to be working fine.
I have my EXS24 samples stored on an external HD. The Steinway Piano sample(s) is a consolidated .caf file which is unusual as the Yamaha ones aren't, though there are plenty of other .caf files for other EXS24 instruments so I guess this is fine.
I don't think the samples are corrupted or the location is an issue as I always save EXS24 instruments samples with each project, hence there is a .caf file for this instrument in each project it's used in, it's more that it appears that the actual EXS 'instrument' itself is corrupted.
I have deleted logic preferences and this hasn't solved the problem so have replaced them back.
I'm wondering if there is anywhere on line I can find the 'Steinway Piano 2.exs' file online to replace mine and see if that solves it?
Or...can I just delete that EXS instrument file and logic will auto download it again?
Or... could someone send me their copy of 'Steinway Piano 2.exs' so I could try?
I'm running 10.4.1 and I know there have been changes made to file location options since this version which could cause probs if I have to d/l factory content again. 2 commercial tracks hanging on this so reluctant to try anything fundamental such as an upgrade to resolve the issue at this point.
Any ideas/ help greatly appreciated.
