Translator,the Ugly Truth

2003-10-04 by Jonathan Gibson

Is anyone using Chicken Systems Translator?I have had several 
fascinating adventures with it.Version 2.0 claimed to translate for 
EXS,but did not.Updated to 2.5,which did do EIII,but not EOS.2.7 
worked well for EIII,ok for EOS,but there were many dud 
instruments.2.8 
now features numerous duds for EIII,and EOS derived instruments show 
up in the EXS with the filter turned all the way down to be 
inaudible.I must then redo the filter and often the amp envelope 
manually and re-store the instrument.A particular favorite of mine 
is the loud clicks at loop points in many instruments.The workaround 
has been to go from the Emu formats into Akai,then burn an Akai disc 
image,then use the EXS' own Akai utility(same for Reason NNXT,by the 
way).This has solved most problems,but some clicking loops remain.I 
would be interested to know what other folks think,and what their 
experience with legacy libraries in general has been.In the 
meantime,I breathlessly await the new wonders to be had from the 
next Translator update.
