taffy Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hello, Is there a way to import many mp3 and wav sounds rather than the regular one off setup procedure for sampled sounds in Logic Pro's EXS24 sampler? Or is there a better method other than EXS24? I also want to be able to audition the sounds and record with a USB Pad controller.

taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi, Where can I drop a folder filled with .wav drum hit files so I can pounce 'em on my pads? Any thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwepro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 you can try ultrabeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The EXS24 will let you drop a bunch of files at the same time. Why don't you want to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi, I tried that but then it plays back all the files at once. done this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Choose contiguous zones instead of Auto map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Choose contiguous zones instead of Auto map. Tried that one too... they also play at once Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That's strange. Did you have zone width set to 1? You can always edit your zones in the EXS24 editor so that they aren't stacked vertically. If you are using using drum hits you can choose the Drums option instead.

taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 you can try ultrabeat yes Ultrabeat for forming a drum kit will do since there's not too many files. But for synths and EXS still working on it Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Drag and drop all your .wav files to the Tracks area of the main window. Select all those regions and choose Track > Convert Regions to New Sampler Track. Then in the first Trigger Note Range pop-up menu, choose the pitch of the key that'll trigger the first .wav sample. The remaining samples will be mapped chromatically upward from that pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the stacking is prob. Here's how they stackup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Do the stacked files have the same name, IE: 808 snare or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 They have similar names but always different by a number or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That's probably why The EXS is being "smart"! You can drag and drop the zones into other keys or edit their placement in the editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 @taffy, did you try my suggestion? Hi Yes I did and looked like I needed to do one at a time although I selected all before converting. But then a mute, solo, record selects only on both (did two) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Did you import your regions all to the same track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Did you import your regions all to the same track? yes, with "Create New Tracks" option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 And did you have all the regions on that track selected? It should work just fine. Which subversion of Logic Pro X do you use? 10.0.7? Which subversion of 10.9 do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Cardenas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It's hard to see from your screen shot but it looks like you have the two audio regions on two different tracks. The regions should be on the same track and you have to have only one track selected with all it's regions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 selected all tracks. All regions should be on a single track. You should only select that one track, then convert it to a sampler instrument. Did you import your regions all to the same track? yes, with "Create New Tracks" option "Create New Tracks" imports the regions on different tracks. Instead, choose "Place all files on one track".

taffy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ok now, but I don't see where to select each individual sound, I can detect them with pads though. Thanks so much guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 You trigger the sound by sending Logic the correct MIDI pitch. For example if you had 3 samples and your chose C1 as the first Trigger Note Range, then your samples would be assigned as follow: - C1 = 1st sample - C#1 = 2nd sample - D1 = 3rd sample So to play the 3rd sample, you could either press the D1 key on your MIDI controller, or program a pad to send a D1 note to Logic.
