Converting Ensoniq to EXS

Converting Ensoniq to EXS

2002-02-10 by iamme3at

Is anyone doing this successfully?
I've got quite a collection of CD's for my ASR10 that I'd like to use 
in the EXS24.

What issues is the with this conversion?

Thanks for the help.

1. The EXS parameters are not as deep a level as the parameters in the 
Ensoniq. In other words, the filter envelopes, the LFO parameters, and 
others, are on the Instrument level in EXS, whereas on the Ensoniq, you can 
set these aprameters for every wave, if desired.

2. The Ensoniq usually adds some of it's built-in effects on some sounds, 
and of course these don't carry over.

3. Ensoniq sounds are usually well programmed and have deep usability. It's 
not easy to get this all across.

4. Ensoniq envelopes are 5 stage; the EXS only has ADSR's.

Other than that, they work quite well.

I've done a great deal of this kind of conversion. I highly recommend
Translator by Rubber Chicken (http://www.chickensys.com/). They do a very
through job in converting the ASR elements and have been working with
Ensoniq samplers for years. -Jer

I wonder -
How does translator treats EPS/ASR bi-directional loops?
does it automatically turn them into regular loops, or does it add the 
backwards loop portion to the actual wave data?

and what about loop+release?

I really miss these two features in the EXS :(

Both. =) This is featured in Roland and Kurzweil translations too, as they 
implement bi-directional and related different looping schemes.

>and what about loop+release?

Nada; no way to simulate this in the EXS (HALion can, though). No big - 
hardly implemented.
