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.

"I love to use Massive. I also like throwing Valhalla plugins on Logic’s built in synths and samplers like EXS24 and Retro Synth. I find heavy reverb on an arpeggiated part sounds great. I also use Komplete instruments a lot—particularly FM8 and the pianos. And I love Replika XT for ambient delays and treating vocals."

"I've started using the EXS24 sampler more and more. I've got a couple of old Emus in my rack and they are great for keeping stock samples but I've now loaded everything into EXS24 so I've got the whole orchestral palette available in an orchestra template setup."

pace considerations — Duffy's room at AIR was fairly small — dictated much of the equipment that he and Williams used during this early writing period. In addition to Duffy's guitars the duo mainly used a couple of keyboards, among them a Clavia Nord Lead, and Logic soft synths and plug-ins. "My little room wasn't large enough to have loads of keyboards set up," says Duffy, "so we used soft synths like [Spectrasonics] Stylus, Trilogy and Atmosphere, [NI] Reaktor, Logic 's ESX24 sampler and instruments, mostly the EVP88 Rhodes. Other soft synths we used a lot were the Moog Modular synth and the M-Tron Mellotron plug-in."
