I don't think it's likely to happen, the SampleTank format uses a
proprietary
compression algorithm called 2Pack, and IK doesn't give any information
about this algorithm. This compression is probably used in the piano you
are talking about.

Here's what Chicken systems have to say about their tranlater:



"SampleTank to Emagic EXS-24 mkI & II Translation

This translation is not available in Translator.

Some people are asking of our plans to incorporate translations from
SampleTank to this platform. We are not currently planning on
translating from SampleTank at this time; here's why:

SampleTank does not have an editor, so it's actually not public how
SampleTank is configured beneath the interface. This makes it
practically impossible to reverse engineer. IK Multimedia kindly
helped us understand the structure underneath, so in return we are
using that information to translate into SampleTank, but not translate
out of it.

Such a translation may appear in the future, but we felt better by
reciprocating IK Multimedia kindness and valuing SampleTank in this
manner."
