Hollowsun, was: The Best EXS Drum Sample CD?

I've just been reading this post and I say: Wow - now that's what I call a
kickass site! Tons of nicely sampled synths, drum machines and other
goodies. Thanks a ton, Mark!

To answer the question about how to convert them into EXS format:

- Use CDxtract or Chickensys Translator, those will read and convert the AKP
programs.

- For those of us who don't own any of the two (like me), most of the
samples are named properly and you can easily do a "load multiple
audiofiles" from the zone menu, then select "auto map". Most of the samples
have proper looppoints as well, just that the EXS is still lame enough to
allways put the right loop point one sample too early (which becomes
apparent on short loops or pretty much transposed samples), so you may have
to correct this manually.
Of course, in that case you will have to adjust all the ADSR and filter
settings by yourself, but from what I seem to remember, the mentioned
converters don't adapt them too great anyways.

I may eventually compile a bunch of these samples into EXS patches during
the next days, will keep you folks informed.

Regards,
Sascha
