Roland TR-808 / 909 Remix Tools Jam Pack

I am having some trouble using ROLAND TR-606, TR-808, TR-909, and CR-78 samples in logic.

Should it be done using the Ultrabeat plugin?

Aside from that I am wondering if the samples just arent to be used with logic, or what the deal is. I am not interested in using a substitute for the 808 or 909.

i would appreciate any help with this issue, thanks...

I am asuming that you are talking about .wav or .aiff files. yes you can load them into UltraBeat buy selecting sample at the bottom of the UB and then clicking on the little triangle in the top of the area that the sample button is and cllicking on load sample or you can load them into the EXS24 sampler. break out to manual on these two instruments and read up on how to do this. I'm sure it gives better instructions than i can.

From what I gather, while the Ultrabeat can play back samples, it's really meant more as a drum synthesizer (building your own percussion sounds). It can do both, but for strictly drum sample playback the EXS24 may be more up your alley.

Just what I heard though. Your mileage may vary, and if said mileage is better on the Ultrabeat, use that. If it's better on the EXS24, use that.

This might be a long-shot, as I have not tried that sample cd, but anyway..

Have you checked if the samples you are trying to load are 32 bit float? If so, you first have to convert each sample to 24bit fixed or 16 bit (whatever you prefer) in order to make use of the samples in Logic.

I recently had to do this with another sample CD. I used Steinberg Wavelab on PC for this as it supports batch conversion of samples. It might be possible on other programs also, of course.

Best,
Mikael
