Logic Pro Rookie Question, Transfering sounds to Logic pro 7 Options

[yojames]

I now have Logic Pro 7 on my new G5 imac. I would like to "record" or "sample" my sounds from my Alesis DM Pro sound module before i sell the thing. I've been working with Logic for about a month and my question is: How do I "transfer" all of the sounds from the sound module? Do I record them one at a time and use them as samples? Is there a way to do a MIDI dump so they all appear as midi choices and not recordings? There's a lot to learn with new program and I'm not finding my question answered easily in the pile of manuals and books I have already purchased. I appreciate any help given but please answer as if I know little to nothing. Thanks!

The easiest way is to multisample the sounds you want and then play them using EXS24 sampler which comes with Logic Pro 7.

However, it's a _massive_ task to sample every single sound from your sound module. If you want a good result you'll have to sample every sound from several different keys and possibly with many different velocity / filter / etc. settings.

If you still want to do it, record everything as audio into Logic, edit the samples the way you want and then transfer and map them in EXS24.

I suggest you sample only some of your favourite and most needed sounds if you feel you're really going to need them. I'm sure you can recreate most of the stuff using the fantastic soft synths that come with LP7.
