By default, the samples will change speed from the root key as you play across the keyboard, but clicking on the little Flextime ‘bow tie’ at the bottom right will make sure that all samples are in time. You can drag the note range that the audio will play over and an automatic loop will be created. Use Chromatic / Zone per File if you have a single sample you want to play across the keyboard. Sampler provides a number of options for automatic importing and processing of your samples. The separate Zones boxes will appear when you drag over the Chromatic and Optimized boxes. Which one you choose will depend on what you’re trying to achieve. You can drag files from Finder or the Arrange page, or even a Marquee selection, into the Sampler window, which will then display several options for importing your audio. It’s available as a stereo, mono, multi‑out or 5.1 surround instrument. Sampler still works with many of the nomenclatures you’ll be familiar with from EXS24, namely Instruments (the preset containing samples plus settings), Zones and Groups, which are all much easier to create and use. The first thing you’ll notice is that Sampler’s interface now conforms to the look and feel of Logic Pro’s other instruments and is much bigger, with easier‑to‑adjust controls (EXS24 was designed for a pre‑Retina, pre‑4K world).

When a Logic Pro song is opened in 10.5, any instance of EXS24 will be replaced with Sampler, complete with all samples and settings.

I put the word replaced in inverted commas because Sampler retains much of what was good in EXS24, including its thrifty CPU usage. And with the introduction of Logic Pro 10.5, we finally got one.ĮXS24 has been ‘replaced’ by a plug‑in instrument called Sampler. But time has passed, and the ease of use and sonic and programming potential of other sampling software, notably Native Instruments’ Kontakt, left Logic users crying out for an EXS upgrade.

Fast, easy on the CPU, and with a simple‑to‑use interface (well, compared to the Mirage!), Emagic soon upgraded the sampler to version 2.

When Emagic’s EXS24 software sampler became available at the turn of the millennium - and at an extra cost of £249 - it was a game‑changer for Logic users.

My first sampler was an Ensoniq Mirage, on which editing was performed using a two‑digit LED display and the parameter values were in hexadecimal. With the introduction of Logic Pro X 10.5, EXS24 has been ‘replaced’ by a plug‑in instrument called Sampler.
