Thank you for purchasing a Pro Samples CD-ROM library disk!

You hard drive has a sub-folder inside the Emagic folder entitled "Sampler
Instruments" that is used by the EXS24 sampler to access .EXS instrument files.

When using ProSamples with the EXS24 sampler on an Apple Mac computer, simply
drag and drop the EXS folder from your ProSamples CD-ROM into this "Sampler
Instruments" sub-folder. The EXS folder will then be copied to that sub-folder.

This copying process should also be done when running the EXS24 sampler on a
Windows/PC computer. However, when copying files from a CD-ROM to the
internal hard disk using the Windows operating system, a file "Lock" or write-protect
software switch is automatically set to be active.

This creates a problem for those users who are using the Windows/PC version of the
Emagic EXS24 sampler because EXS24 Windows will not open a sampler instrument
file that is locked.

One workaround is to disable the write-protect software switch by opening each of
the copied .EXS file's properties menu and turning write protect off. Whew! That's
too much work and there's a better workaround.

In order to make it easier than disabling write protect on each and every copied .EXS
file, we have included a .ZIP file that contains the entire folder of .EXS files on each
ProSamples CD-ROM disk. Simply use WinZip to create a new EXS folder inside the
"Sampler Instruments" sub-folder. Doing it this way insures that no copy protection is
active on any of the newly copied EXS instrument files. Therefore, the EXS sampler
can immediately use these files.

Happy Music Making!
