CDXtract and the new EXS24
2002-08-30 by bernard chavonnet
I have just release an important update for the users of the EXS24 on PC and Mac: - The new EXS24 with its different triggering options is now fully supported. - Conversion of Giga programs with dimension (controller, keyswitch and note off trigger) to the EXS24 format. - CDXtract includes an exclusive dimension compression algorithm that reduces the number of zones without any loss of quality. This algorithm is used when you convert a giga program with dimensions to the EXS24 format and to the Halion format. For example with the first instrument of the famous GigaHarp, the converted EXS24 instrument has 25% less zones than if it were converted by the EXS24 itself. This reduces the use of CPU and memory thus allowing you to play more voices. - The Controller Switch function is now available for the EXS24 conversion. It allows you to select several different programs (Akai, Roland, Emu, MPC, SampleCell, S5000, Soundfont, Giga, Pulsar...) and combine them into one EXS24 instrument and use a controller to switch from one sound to another.
