“ This is a great tutorial that got me up and running with the EXS24 very quickly. I can't wait for the Logic 8 update! ”

“ very good tutorial . All of the features are explained thoroughly and are easy to follow. ”

“ There haven't been a lot of changes with the EXS24 between Logic 7 & 8, so this is still quite a useful set of videos. ”

“ Very good tutorial chock full of information. Don't blink during the last part of this tutorial or you'll miss a lot! Had I not gotten this video, I would have missed out on the amazing capabilities of another great component within Logic - Thanks MPV! ”

“ I found this tutorial to be very informative on topics such as: the allocation of exs files /sub folders (which is what 8 now includes), to virtual memory, to knowing what speed your exs will run the best at considering your Os. Many things which we might skim over when reading a manual as huge as Logics New Encyclopedias's ( come on Apple!! some of us still love the all in one rubber cover's of yesterday.
Plus,all macpro's videos have little surprises, that make you go ah ah! that's how you do it!

“ If I had the video and printed chapter at the same time, I would watch first, then read.
The video provided a much more direct understanding of how the EXS24 works. An excellent overview of basic functions is followed by demonstrations of simple to more complex procedures such as using velocity to trigger the cutoff filter to simulate softer attacks at lower velocities. Very helpful!
There is one area to tidy up the information being presented. In the "Exploring Groups" chapter, simulating the mechanical properties of the hi hat is discussed. The on-screen floating information panel mentions three hat samples; open, closed, and pedal,... usually mapped to F#, G#, and A#. To a beginner, this might be interpreted as: open/F#, closed/G#, pedal/A#. If one is using a GM model, the relationships are closed/F#, pedal/G#, and open/A#. The eagle-eyed will note that when David clicks the keys, the Audio File box in the Zone 3 window does show the proper relationship. Perhaps the information panel could be updated.
An excellent overview and programming reference. I rate it a 4.5 ”

Description
A sampler is undoubtedly one of the most useful arrows in any audio producer's quiver. In the past, samplers were bulky hardware units that took up space in your studio. Today, sampling has moved into the computer.
With tools like the EXS24 at our disposal, hardware samplers are now more common on Ebay than in production studios. And the reason is simple: The EXS24 is a brilliant, full featured sampler that offers modulation abilities and ease of programming not found in the hardware sampler world!
This series of tutorial videos will show you how to work with the EXS24's interface to efficiently load and play samples, to create custom multi-sampled instruments, and to use the EXS24's modulation abilities to create new and interesting timbres from your sampled sounds.
