EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello all,

has anyone tried to convert SampleTank samples and libraries to the EXS 
format? Is that even possible?

Reason being, I like the EXS a lot better than SampleTank, and want to 
migrate my SampleTank sounds over to a single soft-sampler platform.

Thanks!

My guess is that it's going to be difficult:

- EXS cannot import SampleTank,
- Both commercial translators that I know of (cdxtract and translator) 
cannot convert SampleTank into anything else.

But I would be interested in this too if you find any options.

The SampleTank libraries are SPECIFICALLY made not to be translated.
That's why they're using a proprietary format for sample storage (just like
a lot of libraries these days).

I've found a blurb about this on Translator's web site:

sampletank.html

So maybe there's hope.
