Critic Reviews

Emagic EXS24

soundonsound.com

Emagic's EXS24 sampler is a game-changer for Logic Audio users, offering seamless integration and a user-friendly interface that makes hardware samplers seem cumbersome. Its ability to import Akai CD-ROM programs is a major plus, though the conversion omits filter settings, which may irk some users. While the file organization needs improvement, the EXS24 is otherwise undemanding on CPU power and remarkably fast, making it a standout option for those with decent computers. Overall, the EXS24 is a practical, inspiring tool that simplifies sample manipulation without sacrificing musical focus.

Average sampler in Logic Pro

I have this in Logic Pro but I also have Kontakt and Falcon and most recently Halion 6 so I tend to use these instead of Logic's own sampler but it is perfectly useable.

renzai

Great sampler

The fact that this is built right into Logic Pro is just amazing. I use EXS24 and Logic Pros default samples for orchestra mainly, but all of the samples are great. It can also load soundfonts with ease - and I use it over more expensive solutions like Kontakt 5. I love my EXS24

OK

It's confusing to use but does it's job as a sampler.

This article on the recording of the "Barking" album describes the band's then-current studio setup. Rick Smith explans, "It’s difficult to name a main drum machine... The sounds come in from [iZotope] iDrum, [FXpansion] Guru, Logic’s Ultrabeat and ESX24 sampler, and Drumazon, which is this TR-909 modeled plug-in from D16 Group. I use all of that, really, with some Addictive Drums, a live drum plug-in."

"Before I had this system I also used a load of Emu E4 samplers, but my current system, with Reaktor 3 and 4, Logic Platinum, EXS24, Melodyne and Sibelius as my main software, is fantastic. When I open the session, all the samples are there. This saves so much time. And Sibelius is a fantastic scoring program. There's no contest. When writing for orchestra I scribble on paper first, and then input things into the computer."
