Uhhmmm..  I don't own EXS (yet)...so I don't know that much about it yet.
But does EXS read Kontakt sample files?  Plus I think the GPO files are
encrypted somehow to only work with kontakt.

Even if you can read the files in EXS..I don't think its going to work right
for you that way.  GPO is designed to be a black box that just works.  But
inside there is a LOT going on.  Different controller messages and key
velocity, etc..are all being used to control various parameters of the sound
which in all liklihood will not translate to an EXS sampler.  They did a lot
of tweaking, using kontakt programming features to make a 2GB sample library
sound like a 20GB library..  I really think you would lose that with EXS...

That being said, it includes its own AU plugin that you drop into your
plugins folder and instantly have an orchestra available.  Or if you own
kontakt, you can use that and point it at the GPO sample files..and will
work exactly the same, except you'd have access to the parameters to tweak
as you want.

Of course, if you're used to tweaking with EXS and perhaps
automatation...well that just isn't there yet.  

The other thing I would do is send off a message to support@...
and talk to Garth about what his product can translate.  I'm sure he knows
all about GPO and he can tell you for sure if you can translate 100% to EXS.
