Wo is the stock translator...

BTW, things like this gave us the impetus to make a product that does 
things right.

Actually, if you do the math, you can figure out why it's doing that. 
Apparently the stock translator assumes that a program is 1 Akai Cluster 
long, which is 8192 bytes - and this isn't true. RetroFunk is by 
Spectrasonics, who use S3000 format - so you have a program header and 
keygroup size of 192 bytes each.

 From that, you can see that only 41 keygroups (that's what you mean, I 
believe - not "zones") are translated (192 + (41*192) = 8064 bytes).

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
