I have purchased a Roland SPD-SX sound sampler. To use it as I intend I must be able to convert/export any sound sample whether purchased or free, into a 16 bit sound file. As this is the only type I can use in the Roland SPS-SX. I need to do this with Logic Pro X.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
Hate to say this, but it's much easier to do this in a two track stereo editor, of course that's a personal preference.
I don't know if you purchased Logic for this function but you might try looking at the free software (you can donate) Audacity.
... which is not to say you couldn't also do it in Logic...
- Import the audio you want to use into a track (stereo or mono is your choice) ... (shortcut SHFT+CMD+I)
- Select and SOLO the channel you are working with (if there are other tracks in the project, you don't want them mixed in to the resultant output)
- Bounce (shortcut CMD+B) to a PCM type file, set the bit depth to 16, and go for it.
Obviously this allows you to use other bit-depth files for source material too (8-bit if you're an LO-RES fan; 24-bit if you're trying to make a purchased library down convert to 16 bit; etc.)

Yes, that's the best/easiest way to do it in Logic.
The OP didn't say if he yet owned Logic, that's why I suggested the free Audacity.

How to export sound samples as 16 bit file.
