Allanduah Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi, I've recently purchased some sample cd's and I am having trouble loading the samples in .Wav format into logic. I do have the N.I Elements package with Reaktor and Kontakt player. I have copied the files over into the sampler instruments folder but that's as far as I've got. I would like to load and activate the samples and obviously spread them across the keyboard as a normal instrument. How would I go about solving this issue? Thank you.

David Nahmani Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Drag all the samples onto a track, select them all and choose Audio > Convert Regions to New Sampler Track. In the pop up dialog make sure you select "Regions" and adjust the key range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Depends if you want to use the N.I. software or Logic's EXS. If it's the EXS, then it explains in the manual how to create new instruments. As a starter, open up the EXS, press the "edit" button, create a new instrument and load the samples you want. See how you and the manual go from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 ...or do what David suggests, which is probably better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanduah Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ok. thanks. The problem is that once I go in to my sample folder for example the Roland fantom and then Acoustic pianos there are 44 different types of piano- concert grand - bright tune -warm piano for example! and only one file for each so if I drag them all in it will play different sounds across the keyboard. When I brought the c.ds I was told that i needed the reaktor or the kontakt player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 When I brought the c.ds I was told that i needed the reaktor or the kontakt player! Doesn't the CD have a manual, or any kind of explanation on how to make those work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanduah Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Unfortunately not. Would of read it if It had one, got them online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Don't know how else to help as I'm not familiar with that kind of sample library or that process. I would try to track down the manufacturer and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanduah Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ok. Thank you. Some of the samples are drum kits and other sounds and they work but there thousands of samples all in different folders so i guess I will have to create new instruments for them all... I'll be there forever, is there a way it works simpler with the N.i plug ins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 There's got to be if that's what the sample manufacturer recommended. But I don't understand why anyone would sell something without telling you how to use it, so I would contact them and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanduah Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Brought them of an auction site. Will contact them. Thanks for the help. Glad i found this site, stumbled across it by accident! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Either contact the seller of the item, or try to just go straight to the manufacturer - do they have a website? Maybe you'll find the info there. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try to track down the manufacturer and ask them. FINALLY. I worked it out. This is the process. Create a EXS24>Edit>Instrument>New>Then click on Zone>Load multiple samples then I located the file then press ADD (single file) then press the DONE button, a pop up screen appears saying: "PLEASE CHOOSE HOW TO BUILD THE MAP" > Select the AUTOMAP option, press OK and the save and rename the new instrument. It's going to take a while to load them all but it's going to be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
