EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone can suggest or knows of a Mac OS X application that can 
convert kontakt format sample kits to exs24?  I am pretty sure chicken translator does 
the job but I was wondering if there's anything else? 

Many thanks!

On Translator the Kontakt support is about ready, and the PC version 
supports it as well as Battery->EXS. That will go Mac shortly.

Garth has told me that NI won't allow release of the Kontakt format 
converter, so unless something changes we may never see one.

That isn't _exactly_ the case, it's a little different than that but I'm 
not at liberty to discuss the details. NI hasn't restricted anything, but 
that's not the whole story.

Kontakt's format is intentionally encrypted to an extent, which makes it 
different than other formats, which are sort of WYSIWYG when it comes to 
reverse-engineering it.

There have been companies that are very protective, and that's not a bad 
thing - they developed a sampler, they can do what they want. (it's not a 
moral issue) Customers can do what they want - they can buy other samplers 
if they have a problem with that. NI is very open and an excellent company 
in my opinion.

Can't say, don't know yet.

To be released October 29th in Giga format with free downloadable EXS and 
other format versions to follow. Should be a good one.

I've already placed my order. Have you listened to the demo with 
voice-over? Let me warn you: don't... unless you're ready to part with 
some of your money! These guys really are a class act. Looks like 
November will be trumpet month around here! ;-)

I agree. Inspiring stuff. Now where's that SAM Tuba?

It's amazing...but out of curiosity, what else have you been using 
until now for horns, trumpets and trombone?

kim

SAM Horns, SAM Trombones, and Quantum Leap Brass.

In ancient times, the (outrageously overpriced) MIroslav Vitous Winds 
and Brass.

And for me, prior to the SAM stuff, a hodgepodge collection from Advanced 
Orchestra and old EMU and Roland samples. I have Quantum Leap Brass as 
well, but I've found it to be generally underwhelming---particularly the 
trumpets (and horrid saxes).

Dear Garth,

Where would I be able to buy this converter when it's ready? 
Kontakt upgrade is taking too long and I have deadlines to meet 
and a new setup in the studio that requires OS X.

Thanks for any help.
