I understand what you are saying here Nick, I just wanted to evoke a  
clearer response as to the "standard" statement.

The word *should* is the operative word here. I recently had some  
percussion samples(slate rocks) set up in KM 1.5 to do a Round Robin.  
I brought them into the EXS and they worked fine. I brought that same  
EXS instrument into Kontakt 2 and the RR did not work at all. I sent  
Garth an email at Chicken Systems and he had it fixed in Translator  
within 24 hours (another guy who has incredible tech support BTW). I  
assume that fix will be in the next version of Kontakt as well.

I have not used MachFive or Halion or Giga in a while, so I cannot  
comment on their import abilities. But certainly if you understand  
the architecture of whatever format you are importing into with a bit  
of tweaking you can straighten this stuff out anyway.

Also.... yesterday I was working with a gigabyte on Zither samples.  
Keymap 1.5 has a new auto-tune type function which can be used on a  
per-sample/zone basis. Well I was just BLOWN AWAY by how easy it was  
to tune all those samples. I was left thinking of all the hours I've  
spent in the past years tuning samples "by hand", it was depressing  
and exhilarating at the same time. Anyway ... Keymap totally kicks  
some butt!!
