That's news to me. Currently Translator has been on the market for 16 
months and has a user base of over 1000 users, most of them pretty 
satisfied, according to their own feedback. And most - no, all - software 
has bugs that are continually in the process of being eradicated. Chicken 
Systems has a reporting department that handles all bug complaints within 
24 hours and if possible sends out a fix within that time period.

The Translator EXS Edition is in the process of being released, with a list 
price of $74.95. The current build of Translator has translations of 
Roland, EOS, ESi, and Ensoniq included. I'll give more news as soon as it's 
released. From what I understand there will be a press release tomorrow.
