Question

es2 presets

hey, just upgraded from express to pro and i was concerned about the es2 - everyone keeps telling me how fantastic it is however without knowing the details of how to make your own synths the presets seem pretty minimal and not great. Should it have more presets than this: http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/Gully_89/Picture4-2.jpg

or would they be on the other disks, im waiting for Leapord to come out before i install all the loops etc... because i was going to wipe my computer to get more space for them. But i wanted to try out the new logic before that so i just did the basic install

thanks

13 catagories with loads of presets in each catagory- for me that's enough!
I've enough trouble going through those without more. 🙂

Well the definition of "fantastic" is a very relative one, isn´t it?

Just counted the ES2 settings files in my Logic presets area (ie, Logic preset settings only, none of mine or third-party presets) and it's 1165.

That includes the L7 settings as well as L8 stuff, so there will be some duplication, I'm sure...

hmmmm thanks, there must be somewhere to download the presets from - or if anyone could email or upload them for me - as there not very big files?

thanks

They are on your installer disks, no need to download anything.

This is interesting. I upgraded from Logic 7 (and 6 and 5 before that), and I have one more folder on that list called "14 ES2 Legacy," which contains a bunch more presets from previous versions (presumably). It may be the difference between an upgrade from an Express version, and an upgrade from a Pro/Platinum version. It's possible that those who have an XSKey dongle might have that one extra ES2 folder in their ES2 presets. That's just a guess.
