EXSP24

This chapter introduces Logic’s EXSP24 sampler.

The EXSP24 sample player offers all of the playback facilities that you would expect to
find in a hardware sampler, without the cost and bulk of this type of device. As a purely
software-based instrument, the EXSP24 is perfectly integrated into Logic, and makes
use of your computer’s RAM and hard disks. This integration within the computer
environment offers instant access to all audio data and Sampler Instruments used in a
Logic song file. These files are stored on your computer’s hard disks. This integration
simplifies sample library management and eliminates the need for separate physical
devices and the cables required to connect them.

The EXSP24 sample player does not allow new Sampler Instruments to be created, nor
editing of existing EXS Instruments (apart from synthesis and modulation options). This
functionality, including all sample editing, routing, and instrument creation options is
only available in the full EXS24 sampler plug-in, found in Logic Pro.

The EXSP24 is compatible with the EXS24, AKAI S1000, and S3000, SampleCell, WAV,
AIF(F), Gigasampler, and SoundFont2 sample formats, as well as the Vienna Library,
allowing access to large and comprehensive sampler libraries.
