OSStatus -50 in Sampler usually means the sample file or its path is not usable by Logic (permissions, filesystem, corruption, or filename/path issue). Best first steps: run afinfo on the file, try opening a copy on your internal drive, run Disk First Aid on the external drive, check permissions (ls -l / xattr), and relocate the Logic Sound Library or give Logic Full Disk Access.
