I just tried CDXtract with the hope of converting many of my roland libraries to EXS format. They claim to have the original Roland de-emphasis algorithm available in the software. I just tried a Hans Zimmer guitars vol 1 disc. conversion process itself went fine. I now have the converted one right up against the S760. The listening comparison is horrible. The converted file is considerably more dull and flat sounding, while the original is much more open sounding (i'm monitoring the EXS digitally into a Mackie D8B via an 888, the S760 is going analog into the D8B). Also i'm noticing an audible click at the beginning of each keystroke right at the top of the sound starting - almost like a non-zero cross point butt splice sound. the latency when playing notes from these converted files are also much greater than with the supplied samples or imported AKAI samples direct into the EXS. HELP. Am i missing a setting or something? I'm a newbie to al of this sample library conversion stuff. I didn't think the conversion would be so poor. The Roland De-emphasis menu item was checked when i made the conversion. The sustain and decay times are different too. The original S760 sample decays out while holding the keys down. the EXS version just continuously loops without decaying. I thought the translator was supposed to translate all parameters? Any help would be great... thanks all. clint
