The exs file extension is associated with Apple's Logic music production software, including Apple Logic Studio and Apple Logic Pro for macOS.
An exs file stores an EXS24 sampler instrument. The file describes how audio samples are assigned across the keyboard and includes the settings needed to play them. The referenced sample audio is generally stored in separate files.
EXS24 is a software sampler included with Logic. EXS24 instruments are an older format, but Logic Pro can import them into its Sampler instrument, allowing existing libraries to remain usable.
Open the exs file in Apple Logic Pro on macOS. Older files can also be used with Apple Logic Studio on compatible Mac OS X systems.
Translator Professional can also read EXS24 instrument data on supported platforms. The audio samples referenced by the instrument must be available in their expected locations for the instrument to play correctly.
Logic Pro can import an EXS24 instrument into its Sampler instrument. This is the practical way to bring the instrument into a current Logic project, although the referenced audio samples must also be available.
Translator Professional can translate EXS24 instrument data for use with supported sampler formats. Conversion transfers the instrument mapping and settings; it does not necessarily combine the separate sample audio files into the converted file.
