How would Kirk Hunter EXS24 instruments work with Logic Pro 9

I understand that Kirk Hunter strings are quite good. Does anyone know how the EXS24 version would work in logic pro 9? Is it just a question of putting files in the correct directory so they show up in the media library, or is something else involved?

Thanks

(Note : The orchestral strings that come bundled with logic are disappointing. For a quantitative example, playing C1 (2 Cs below middle C) of the cello, there is no contribution at the fundamental frequency of ~65 Hz, as can be seen from an EQ analyzer.)

Kirk Hunter's EXS24 instruments work very well in Logic 9.

Drag the instruments folder here: User>>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments. (Or place an Alias of the KH instruments folder at the above location if you have your instruments stored on another drive.)

I placed the instruments in the above location but have the samples on an external drive when using my MPB, and on a separate internal HD in my MP.

Click on Options in the upper right of the EXS24 GUI to access Preferences. Make sure that Search samples on... is set to All Volumes.

The Diamond library is big bang for the buck when buying the EXS24 version. I also have the EXS 24 version of Concert Strings ll. But, it looks like KH is only going to release Kontakt versions of new products. I ended up also buying the Kontakt version of Diamond.

Hi, I just got the EXS Solo Strings and just spent the last hour trying to install them correctly. I place the instruments in User>>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments. Can I put the sample folder anywhere I like?

Hmm.... it's not working. I did this too :

Click on Options in the upper right of the EXS24 GUI to access Preferences. Make sure that Search samples on... is set to All Volumes.

I see them listed but when I click on a patch to play there's not sound. A few secondds later, I get an error message saying that the audio file could not be found...

After you put the Samples folder where you wanted it (external drive? separate internal drive?), did you then place an Alias of the Samples folder here: User>>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments ???

I have Kirk Hunter's libraries installed on both my Mac Pro (separate internal hd), and MacBook Pro (ext hd). The EXS24 has no problems locating the samples because the alias is in the above location.
