That's not true, CDXtract converts modulation and filter data as well. Even
the LFO speed is converted very accurately. Translator is a fantastic tool
but the fact that its price is almost twice the price of CDXtract doesn't
mean
that it's 2 times better. If you are looking for a conversion software, see
which one you prefer by downloading the 2 demos. Both products are
used by thousands of users wordwide so they must be mature enough.
