Manage sampler instruments

As your sample library grows, the list of sampler instruments also expands. To help you keep the list of sampler instruments manageable, Sampler provides a simple, flexible file management method.

It is recommended that you copy any sampler instruments and all associated audio files to a local or networked hard drive. This provides fast access to your sampler instruments and makes it easier to organize your instrument library to meet your needs. You can play back samples that exceed the size of your computer RAM by streaming them from hard disk. This feature is not practical for optical drives.

If you are using Logic Pro, you can save sampler instruments and associated audio files with the project bundle. This makes it easy to keep all sampler instruments and audio samples in one place.

Organize your sampler instruments into a preferred hierarchy

  1. Create a folder on the desktop—named Basses, for example—and drag it into the target folder.

  2. Drag the sampler instruments you want to move into this newly created folder.

    The modified menu structure is reflected in the plug-in Setting menu.

    The plug-in Setting menu displays submenus only for folders that actually contain sampler instrument files. Other folders are not added to the Setting menu. Aliases pointing to folders that contain sampler instrument files outside the Sampler Instruments folders can also be added to the Setting menu. The Sampler Instruments folder itself can be an alias to a folder on a different drive or in another location.

Copy sampler instruments to your hard drive

  1. To open the Library folder in a Finder window, click the Go menu from the desktop, then click Library.

  2. Copy the sampler instrument file into the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder.

    Note: User created sampler instruments are stored in ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments.

  3. Copy the associated samples into ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Samples/Instrument Name folder.

    Note: User-created samples, if used, are stored in ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Samples/Instrument Name folder.

Create a backup of sampler instruments in Logic Pro

  • To copy the audio and sampler instrument files of all currently active sampler instruments in the project to a specified file location, use the Backup Audio Files of All Used and Active Instruments of Current Project key command.

    Folders for the audio files associated with these sampler instruments are created in the target location.

    You can also do this by saving a project. By default, sampler instruments and samples are saved in the project bundle.
