    ESB TDM and EXS24 TDM
EXS24 TDM or ESB TDM?
If you want to process the output signals of (up to 32) EXS24 TDM samplers with TDM 
effect plug-ins exclusively, please read the EXS24 TDM section directly below. Bear in 
mind that if you want to use the EXS24 TDM exclusively, there is no need to activate 
DTDM in addition to the DAE.
In scenarios where you wish to utilize Logic’s native audio system (DTDM)—in addition 
to your TDM system—please refer to “ESB TDM” on page 24. The information found in 
this section is also relevant to the routing of natively processed signals from other 
Logic or Audio Unit instruments into the TDM mixer.
EXS24 TDM
If no Aux Objects exist in your TDM Mixer within Logic, please create them in your 
song. 
To create TDM Aux Objects manually:
1
Open Logic’s Audio Mixer, by choosing Audio > Audio Mixer.
2
In the Audio Mixer window choose New > Audio Object to create a new Audio Object.
3
Double-click the newly-created Audio Object icon, so that the channel strip appears. 
4
Now, go to the Object Parameter box, and set the Channel parameter to Aux
5
The Device parameter needs to be set to DAE. The generic Audio Object will now 
operate as a TDM Aux Object.
Note:  Experienced TDM users use Aux Objects (with busses used as inputs) rather than 
Bus Objects, as these feature the advantage of aux sends to other effects busses.
To insert the EXS24 TDM:
m
Click-hold on the uppermost Insert slot of a TDM Aux Object. A pop-up menu appears, 
allowing you to select the EXS24 TDM.
