- Logic Pro: Introducing Sampler
Creating your own EXS24 instruments can be a quick and intuitive process, opening a wealth of creative potential. Mark Cousins is caught mapping… While the EXS24 might not be the most elegant part of the Logic Pro X experience, it is certainly a superbly functional instrument and an essential part of the overall Logic workflow.

Once saved, these newly created instruments can become an essential part of your sound palette, accessible across the entirety of your Logic projects. Mapping Success One key component that can confuse new users is the difference between the EXS24 instrument plug-in, which you instantiate into your track list or mixer, and the so-called EXS24 Instrument Editor.
In essence, the EXS24 Instrument plug-in is the front-end of the sampler, complete with a set of synthesiser-like controls that can be used to modify the sample playback — using envelope generators, for example, to shape the amplitude over time, or the filter to home in on harmonic information. Creating a new instrument from scratch begins with an empty instance of the EXS To open the editor, press the small Edit button in the top right-hand corner of the EXS24 plug-in.
From here, we can see a list of the samples used in our instrument, along with their relative position on the keyboard, the number of keys that they span across, as well as how they respond to velocity.
Zone Out Technically speaking, an EXS24 instrument is comprised of a series of zones, with each zone containing a sample of your choice. The importing process works intelligently, so that you could drag just one sample over a single note and have it mapped accordingly, or drag a collection of samples and have them auto-mapped across a series of consecutive keys.
Drum Synth uses software synthesis and modeling not samples to produce kick drums, snares, toms, and percussion. Anyone getting a pattern here? Drum Machine Designer was already in Logic, but this new version integrates with Quick Sampler and Drum Synth so that you can build kits out of those two tools.
Remix FX are here as predicted, too — Bitcrusher, filter, gater, and repeater, looking for all the world like features associated historically with Ableton Live and later with Maschine , as well as some hardware think KAOSS Pad, for one.
And yes:. Drag and drop sounds everywhere. An integrated sample engine plus drag-and-drop sampling instruments means that sampling is now a core part of the Logic workflow — not just EXS24 as an island. More on this element soon. Autosampler is integrated. That alone might be reason to consider a move to Logic, and could easily be a topic for another article.
This feature has graduated to desktop form from the iPad, but it might be more appealing in the desktop context. But that brings me to one takeaway here. But — first impression suggests Apple may have really pulled off a coup here, in a more significant way than they have in a long time. And yes, the EXS24 overhaul is long overdue — that aspect also will deserve more detailed attention from people making soundware content.
The latest Logic instruments and effects and workflows all start to look very consistent and integrated. Apple has put them together in a way that looks clear and uniquely theirs. I have to see exactly how Live Loops fits in with this, but that is obviously relevant, too.
We also start to see iOS integration that makes sense. Logic Remote lets you work with the loop grid, even browsing and adding loops, and working with remix effects. Apple has been slowly overhauling Logic ever since it first acquired the software from Emagic over a decade and a half ago — with a lot of that team still involved, and pretty consistent management on the Apple side, as well.
And zones and mapping look easy to find, as well. Quick Sampler goes there, too. Both let you grab sound recording or drag-and-drop , loop, slice, and map zones. Well and having compared Quick Sampler to Simpler, the UI here has more in common with recent plug-ins than any host — down to a growing taste for animated visual feedback and clear semi-modular definition of structure.
Flattened UIs. This is the really good stuff, and it feels like the Logic team is even getting gradually more comfortable with the design language. Cough , Windows high-DPI. These cover a range. Like the flattened UIs, these are scalable — so the skins are basically there for added visual memory, but otherwise these have the same interaction advantages of the other redesigns.
Things that are just actual pictures. These mostly live in the background, actually, as a visual reference — though at least with the amps, they help to illustrate mic placement and remind you what a particular term means. Drum Kit Designer is a bit silly and an outlier. Pedalboard is the more useful of these, and the closest to other software tools, in that you actually can manipulate the interface and interact the way you would with the real thing.
Emagic lives! And that was Sort of?
