No, it works for Emax 1, one file Niklas provided was corrupted (ZD723, I think it's corrupted for everyone), and the other one worked fine for me (the ZD700 piano), I'm not sure why it didn't fly right on his side. I asked him some questions but haven't got a reply yet.
I've tested all the ZD floppy images available publicly and Translator auditions the samples fine on all of them. Plus the CD images (but that's Emax II).
Incidentally, what doesn't work - actually not implemented - is auditioning of an ENTIRE Emax I (or II) preset, where you can see the mapping and play it onscreen or on a MIDI keyboard. This works for many other formats but we skipped it (undoubtedly for time reasons) for Emax. We're getting this in by next build, it's not difficult.

Well, no, it doesn't necessarily follow that a developer isn't going to be a reliable communicator. In fact, he usually knows much more than the user. Being dev myself, its kind of irritating when I get consistently doubted (especially online) only because we are THE or A developer. I get it, we could have a vested interest to misrepresent the truth, but really no developer I've known has that type of character. It's not like we are the second Kennedy shooter or anything.

I thought I answered all questions - but anyway - I think it was my system (laptop running win 7, with an internal stock soundinterface). I will try Translator in my studio setup where that sound interface and driver should be more suitable.
I tried wav-convertion on EMXP and it worked perfectly!
Thanks for your help!
