Re: Roland samples into EXS format...problems with Translator....what' best?

2003-12-13 by Mark

I  haven't used Chicken Sys extensively but I do use CDXtract quite 
frequently to convert my AKAI CDs to EXS24 and it works perfect and 
is a joy to use.  On Windows the interface seems a bit more straight 
forward and flexible thatn Chicken Sys.  I've never tried a Roland CD 
though.  

The reason I use CDXtract instead of letting EXS do the Akai 
conversion is folder organization is a bit more flexible especially 
during the conversion process you are prompted with many options 
before the conversion begins so when it's done you can get started 
playing right away. If I use EXS to convert my Akai CDs I have to do 
some post follow up work to clean it up and organize.  With CDXtract 
all the option are selectable before pressing the "Convert" button.

Regards,
Mark
