I'm pretty new to Logic 9.1, but I'm having a hard time finding this information. What determines which instruments/presets will appear in the main library window that shows up when you add a default software instrument? I just added some ES2 presets and EXS24 instruments to the user library and none of them showed up in the main library. Upon inspecting the actual directories, I noticed a lot more instruments in the factory/default sets than appear in the main listings as well and then finally realized different/complete lists for each type of synthesizer shows up when you select it under the I/O panel and voila, there are the new ES2 and EXS24 sounds. But the main library list (that shows up when a "blank" item is selected on the side-panel) seems to contain a variety of instruments (like a favorites setting?) of different types. What makes those show up there and the rest only appear for a given instrument type (i.e. when say ES2 is click-selected in the I/O panel button)?
Overall, I've been very happy with Logic (guitar processing effects are awesome as I play both guitar and piano/synth and being able to map a midi piano pedal to be the modulator for a Wah-Wah pedal just rocks), but I have noticed some odd bugs/behaviors (like "clipping" that appears to be there in the monitor outputs but disappears upon a reboot, mostly after several sleep/wake cycles), softsynths and other bits hanging on notes on a stop, etc. My Midi-Man 2x2 needs to be unplugged and plugged back in after Logic (or anything else) boots to not get massive lag (seems to be a Snow Leopard specific driver problem on their side, though since a cheap $6 generic midi cable works fine).
