EXS24 and Logic Mainstage: Launching Loops in Mainstage

If you want to launch loops in mainstage with the EXS24, you will soon realize that you can't edit EXS24 patches within Mainstage. This tutorial shows you how to start from a loop, and goes through the process of working it so it is available to launch in Mainstage.

I did not understand how to repeat that loop?

[kellenholgate]

You have to set up the loop in the EXS24 editor. Go all the way to the right and choose the loop points. It gets more confusing when you try to do this kind of stuff..

Change the EXS24 to Mono (as opposed to Poly or Legato) to stop it from double triggering

Hi, thanks for the video. One question though: it seems you get the option to EITHER have a 1shot trigger OR an actual loop. In other words you can either have it so you press the key once, you don't have to hold it down, but it only plays once. Or you can have it so you hold it down and it loops.

The option i want is to be able to press the key once and make it loop. As in a kind of "1shot loop": I hit the key, the loop starts, and continues to play until I do something to stop it.

Thank you so much, now I can go to bed.

yeah i just watched your entire 9-min video and not once did it 'loop' - maybe you wanna rename the video playing a sound from the ESX 24 in Mainstage - cos that's what you showed how to do.

hi. help. in logic, i have managed to add 4 loops and assigned them in 4 diffrent keys.. everything works fine. i unchecked the "pitch" option so it will play in the normal pitch/key..when i loaded the instrument in mainstage, the tempo/pitch changed. how do i make mainstage load exs24 instrument the way it was saved in logic. thanks!

Very helpful. Thanks! The baby coughing in the background is a nice touch.

hi, thanks for this tutorial!!! good one. i tried adding another loop in the same project but there is no sound. is it possible to add lets say 10 loops and assign them in 10 diffrent keys?
