Sorry to all those who have read my posts stating this so many times but
again....perhaps for the last time............be aware that EXS24 does NOT
TRANSLATE TUNING INFO FROM AKAI CD's. Sorry for shouting but there you go.
We have discussed this often and still Emagic make no comment.
Don't sell your hardware samplers just yet.
Also be aware that neither Unity DS1 or Osmosis will translate tunings
either.
The EXS24 is primarily a percussive or one shot sampler IMO. Unless you
enjoy out of tune pianos, synths and strings.
This has nothing to do with "cracks" it has everything to do with the ESX24
inability to translate tunings from existing Akai discs. It seems a little
strange that Emagic claim to support this format when clearly they do not.
