Q: Why isn't Symphony Jam Pack Folder not showing up in Library?

FYI: This is mainly about the options for assigning Midi sounds, NOT Loops. Oh, and I'm a total newbie, so remedial instructions please.

I installed all of the Jam packs, but only the Rhythm Section Jam pack shows up in the library as a separate folder (as well as in the instrument drop down box). BUT, the Symphony Jam Pack doesn't show up in either place as it's own folder. (Symphony JP is really the only one I'm concerned about as I'll be using it extensively to assign midi sounds).

I think that all of the Symphony instruments are available to me in the "Shared Garage Band Settings", but it would be helpful to have it all in a separate library folder (like the Rhythm Section one), so that I can differentiate between the great Jam Pack sounds and the somewhat mediocre packed sounds that come with Logic.

Especially since I can't figure out a way to sample each sound without loading it into the midi channel to find the best one for my project.

Any ideas? Would make my life SO much easier to see each Jam Pack content together in separate folders.

Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem. I did a clean fresh install of Logic 9 on a brand new Mac Mini and I'm having the exact same problems. :-/

    I only see jampack folders for Voices and World Music in my Library. Is that right? I feel as if the library should show Jam Pack World, Voices, Symphony and Rhythm Section.

    Apple must be having some challenges.

    I am having trouble installing the second CD, and I also do not have the symphony pack. I just recently received the CDs in the mail.

    I received an error at the end of my installation. I believe my CD is corrupted, but I am unable to contact the apple manufacturer as suggested by the error message. Perhaps your error is related to mine. Is your CD new too?

    Similar problem here. I get all the Jam Pack folders showing up except voices. Pluss i dont think the samples from voices are available via any other folder as far as i have been able to discover by browsing around.
