EXS24 Akai import not working

EXS24 Akai import is not working on my new Macbook Pro running Logic Pro 8; I read somewhere that it only works in 32 bit mode, however I have tried that with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I'm in the process (apparently a never ending one) of transferring an oldish orchestral library to EXS instruments, so I'm using the original CD's (there are 6 of them) and using the Akai import function.


When you first select the import option, the window comes up with different columns and it says 'waiting for Akai disk' or something across all of them - put your Akai formatted disk (that's what we're talking about, the ability to read the particular format of the disk itself) in there and it should show you what's on the CD and you should be able to load stuff from a particular column, in theory, so its OK to a particular degree - if you're talking about a sampler 'program' in Akai terms ('instrument' in EXS terms), it does bring in the program and the associated samples if its a simple set of assignations across the keyboard.


The trouble that I have is that the different velocity layers for the instruments (the set of Forte or Piano samples, for example, in some cases there are four different velocity levels) aren't able to be assigned to the same instrument all at once. I used Akai samplers for quite a while before I got into Logic and there's a 'Merge' function there that I'd really like to see in EXS at the moment.

Thanks for the response but the problem is something else. Ive been using Akai import since Emagic days,

it's just on this new Macbook Prono / Logic pro 8 that nothing is coming up in the edit window - like what happens with a S5000 disc for example. As I said before, I've got Logic pro 8 running on an iBook and everything works as it should.
