quietcove Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Has anyone out there used this software that converts sample data of one format (Ensoniq ASR-10 i.e.) to another (Kontakt i.e.). I would like to buy a software-based sampler and sell my ASR-10 but there's a lot of sample material I want to keep and transfer over to the new format. I guess I need to hear a few success stories before I make the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super 8 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I'm sure there is a freeware converter somewhere that will do the job. I think there is for the old EPS. Check out some ASR enthusiast sites before you invest any money. They almost always have some kind of software to download.

Bill Heins Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Are you talking about Chicken System's Translator? Personally I use CDXtract here, support for Giga, Kurzweil, Akai, Roland, .wav, and other formats Darkon the Incandescent http://www.billheins.com/ Hail Vibrania!

DJDM Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hey quietcove I posted this in the KC forum but just in case... Has anyone looked at CDXtract ? It's not all that cheap ($139 USD) but it seems to kick ass. Convert: CDXTRACT converts your sampler files to the most popular formats with a very high accuracy. All kind of conversions are possible, single, bulk but also CDXTRACT includes a batch converter that allows you to select your favorite programs or samples and convert them with a few mouse clicks. Unlike the other converters, CDXTRACT has no limitation of destination formats for one specific source format. All source formats can be converted to all destination formats.

zeronyne Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I use CDXtract all the time...it's really the cream of the crop...but it doesn't support Ensoniq samplers. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasher Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I use Translator, the Giga edition. Generally satisfied, but in the race between Translator and CDXtract, sometimes one is better, sometimes the other. When I needed it, Translator had the features I needed, so that's what I went with. Translator support is pretty good, haven't used CDXtract. Dasher It's all about the music. Really. I just keep telling myself that...
