EXS24 as standalone/VST - Ableton Live

Question

EXS24 as standalone/VST - Ableton Live

Hi. I work with Logic and use lots and lots of instances of the EXS24 for my tracks. Mainly because i sample a lot. I have many many samples all loaded and organised in the EXS24. I am using Ableton Live for my live show. It would be great if i could use the EXS24 from within Ableton Live, which can read AU and VST instruments.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Also, someone mentioned the EXSP24. I dont know whether this would do the job?

If anyone could offer any advice id appreciate it. . .

Thanks, Ben 🙂

EXS24 only works within Logic Pro.

I know that. Ive heard of the EXS 'P' 24 (EXSP24) which apparently does the same thing but you can get as a VST. I use EXS24 so much that i would want something that can read my exs and rex files and thats very very low CPU. This is why i want to get hold of a copy of the EXSP24 as a mac VST?

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks, Ben 🙂

As far as the REX files, Ableton now comes with something they call racks which works great with REX files. If you find a way to insert EXS24 as a VST please post it since I haven't heard of such a thing.

I need to find a sampler that i can use with all my hundreds of exs patches. It would be ideal if live let you convert them into racks for example? If not, i need a really really low CPU sampler that can read EXS and rex files that i can use in Live?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ben

Check MOTU's Mach 5, it reads almost everything. I just grab and drop anything into it and it is simple if you want to, or you can dive deep into it.
