FYI .....

I downloaded the Akai samples and had the same issues, I own a copy of
Vsampler ( www.vsampler.com ) which can convert the Akai S5000/6000
format to SF2 which EXS24 can read. After performing this very tedious
conversion, I found a link to Awave Studio 8.2 http://www.fmjsoft.com/
Which looks like it can do the job in batch mode (which would have saved
me a lot of time, though I havent tried it.

hello all,

Michael Schoenfeld here,

CDxtract + Vitrual PC 5 + and G4 with a goodly amount of RAM 
(which of course, all EXs24 user's should have anyway)  equals 
VERY successful and glitch free conversions.

It has never failed me, and I have primarily used it on a G4 
titanium.

All the best,

Michael Schoenfeld,

Hi e'body
I've tried to use Rubber Chicken Translator (the demo), converting 
immediately the unzipped file of an AKAI mapped sound (s-1000 or s-
3000). The only problem (but I think it dipends because it's a demo)
is the cutoff a little closed. But it works.

Ciao
