Depends, but since you have it, you might as well use Translator. As you 
probably know, the EXS has many of the cool parameters on the global level, 
like LFO, filter envelopes, other things. Translator has special algorithms 
that fit the "square peg in the round hole," so to say - so these 
parameters are correctly translated as far as they can be. The onboard 
convertor avoids these, as far as we've researched it.

I just tried that CD and it seems to go through well - didn't find anything 
unusual with the files.
