Ultrabeat not loading samples?

I've got a session with an instance of Ultrabeat with the Indie Live Kit preset loaded. I also imported a few voices from an EXS24 drum kit to replace the preset voices. I saved this new setting, and everything seemed to be working as expected. The project is set to copy Ultrabeat instruments to the project folder.

The next time I open the project, though, Ultrabeat doesn't load the samples for the modified voices. The names of the voices are listed, the settings for the voices are preserved, but the samples just don't load. Ultrabeat doesn't even ask me to locate them. It just doesn't load them. All the voices from the original preset are correctly loaded.

Has anyone else seen this? Any workarounds? Is it a bug? Thanks.

iMac (early 2006) 20", Mac OS X (10.4.11), 2GB RAM, Logic Pro 8.0.1

...yes
It's really annoying bug.
I've loaded samples, named them,saved as a setting. Next day- same project my samples are gone, instead I get some of the samples from the default setting.
What's more - I load some samples, can play them, but if I switch the EQ ant turn the gain knob I get that ear-killing noise and the graph on EQ turns square.
Try that guys...
Hopefully Apple will sort out sample import issue cos UBeat is my No.1 beat machine,
but to be honest I doubt it...

You guys haven't messed with the folders associated with UB or the EXS24? How about the files themselves? Any renaming outside of the instruments themselves?

If you mess with the file folders or names of the files, Logic will have trouble finding the files that it needs.

I myself have loaded plenty of samples into UB, saved them as their own drum kit, and have never had a problem with any samples missing.

now i'm back on my imac and it's all strange again..

1st: i try it with just my on board sound card, create a ultrabeat with samples in it i only use maybe 8 or so save it and it works fine, i change to a preset bank and back to the bank i just created and all the names are as i named and samples the samples i had input are there.

2nd: restart logic and try the same all ok again.

3rd: restart logic turn on external sound card and try the same, logic see my preset and all samples and names.

4th: start to make another and save as another name, change the bank to a preset
and the re-open my saved preset, names are as i named but samples are different.
<br...><br...>

5th i restart logic and open ultrabeat but this time i don't turn on the power button on the sequencer, now make a kit of my samples, save it, change the bank,
re-open my saved bank and it loads perfect......



i'm going to give this a few goes but for me so far it's working perfect except
if you turn the machine on and then try and save it wont remember for some reason.


give 5 a go and please post back you results
