Translator (at least on the on the PC) can do this. If you choose to
convert (or rather, map) a bunch of WAVE, AIFF, or SD2 files to EXS-24
format, you can choose an option that will go through each sound file and
separate all the chunks per user-set threshold and time factors.
So, in other words, you take a whole 99-track CD-Audio, rip it into 99
WAVE-AIFF-SD2 files, and lets say there's 5 samples per track. Translator
will separate each one out - so you wind up with 495 sounds, and they can
all be mapped to EXS Instrument in many sorts of ways. There's other ways
to do this, but Translator does it in one operation, and it has more
options than the EXS's mapping functions.
There were several people that requested this last year and it saved the
day for them.
This may be on the Mac version, I'll check and make sure it's there, if
not, I'll port it in.
