Ableton Forum

alright i know there are some super geeks out there, so maybe you can tell me if theres a way to use the esx24 from logic express in live. It seems that in my logic folder under sampler instruments there is nothing there...in my garage band folder it has the sampler instruments but when it says "importing" and then it finishes it dosn't do anything. HELP! is this possible?

You can import EXS24 into Ableton's Sampler.

I really don't like the EXS24... horrible, clunky, ugly.

you mean import the sample files into Sampler? i not down with teh lyngo. what about simpler?

Yeah, I think you can import the EXS24 file thingy.

You cant use the esx sampler in live or any other daw just like you cant use any live plugs in any other daw. The only way you can use the esx is using Logic as a rewire master. you can import the esx24 library thats all.
oh why the fuck do I bother

haha thanks anyways. i figured as much but i thought there might be a way around it.

here's another doozy for ya:

i want to sample my own piano
it's a shitty piano in my dads house...it's old as fuck and has built in chorus effect lol.
so i record samples C1 through C5 at soft medium and loud velocities.
now i take a rack and pop in like 30 simplers into it.
here's where i run into problems...
if you put the C1 into a simpler, it plays that note at like C3 or something, so your keyboard is off. i been beating my head against a wall trying to figure out how to make it work so i can build my own "shity akoustic piano." anyone tried this before?

I love the idea of recording a funky old piano. I want to record a prepared piano someday myself. You probably should get Sampler especially if you want velocity mapped samples. And if you have the extra cash, check out the sample mapping and editing programs at redmatica.com.

Yes it can be done... I'm sorry I'm not up for going into a long explanation right now but I'll give you some tips and maybe you can sort it out from there. You need to use the "scale" plug ins pre each simpler. See how you do with that... if you're still having trouble or someone doesn't beat me to it I make you the rack to show you how. Cheers!

for get the scale plug in, you neep the pitch plug in

Yes you're right... I don't know what I was thinking... PITCH thats what I meant, not scale. Scale wouldn't do shit in that case.. except for confuse the hell out of you. I was very tired when I wrote that hence my lack of enthusiasm to give a full explanation.
