Do it.

Every .gig file I've ever tried did convert, but more complex programs that 
include release triggers or modwheel crossfading often don't convert 
properly. Some can be converted better with CDXtract or Translator, but 
some will still require manual tweaking.

In light of that, I propose we set up some sort of bulletin board system, 
possibly through Yahoo or a members' FTP, where we can post successfully 
tweaked converted Giga files. As I've found that Giga conversions through 
the above mentioned programs often create a different set of files than 
that of the EXS conversions, I'd suggest they all start from the EXS's 
internal converter to ensure that all the file names are the same. We could 
also include .txt files with any file re-naming or other specific 
instructions. regarding "how we did it." There's a huge and ever growing 
world of great Gigasampler libraries out there, and not every sample 
developer is jumping on the EXS bandwagon.

Who's game?
