Sampler storage locations in Logic Pro for Mac
Sampler instruments and samples are stored in specific locations.
Sampler instrument storage locations
To be visible in the Settings pop-up menu, instruments must be stored in the following folder locations:
~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments: User-defined or edited instruments are stored here.
~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments/AutoSampled: Instruments created with the Auto Sampler utility plug-in are stored here.
/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments: Supplied sampler instruments are installed here.
…/ProjectName: Logic Pro also searches for sampler instruments in the project folder.
If you use the Save As command, you have the choice to save older project files as a project bundle or as a folder.
If you save a new project, sampler instruments and samples can be saved as Assets with the project bundle. See Project settings in the Logic Pro User Guide.
Note: You can store your sampler instruments in any folder on any connected hard disk. Create an alias pointing to this folder within a Sampler Instruments subfolder (using any of the paths listed), and they are shown in the Settings pop-up menu.
