I bought that program when you first mentioned it a couple of months ago. At
this point in time as far as I know there is no EXS support. They did say
that they would support the EXS but it's a matter of when. However it does
look like the only option that's going to happen in the light of Emagic's
refusal to communicate. This does make the process a bit long winded for a
Mac user as CD Extract is a PC prog and requires that you run Virtual PC and
then transfer everything accross.
But if this guy can code it on his own why can't the Emagic team code it?
I just don't get it. Further more why do Emagic state on their site that
they support Akai S1000 and S3000 format when this is untrue. Also note that
since its release their have been no other additions to the compatibility
list nor have they bothered to update that tired old page.
