Thanks for that Garth. The "gotchas" I'm experiencing are intentionally layered volumes from Quantum Leap Guitars and Bass. Some of the Acoustic patches have 5 "layered" programs in the one akai volume. But one of those layers is detuned by -3 semitones (it's a guitar bend). If I import the individual programs into EXS you can see that particular program has it's Tune parameter set to -3 in the EXS main panel. But when the Akai importer merges the programs together that information is (understandably) lost because it was applied to the program, not the zone. Thus, when I press the key at full velocity to squeeze out that nice bend it plays 3 semitones too high! So, if programs like Translator can calculate that and apply it to the samples in that zone... fantastic! Thankfully I still have an Akai S2000 so I can dig into the parameters to find out when things don't sound right, but it's obviously much better to just get the conversion right in the first place. Cheers! Dave.
