Massive Sample Conversion

Massive Sample Conversion

2004-09-30 by J

I have a zillion patches/samples in SampleCell format that were 
imported via Bitheadz Osmosis from Akai disks. I am looking for a way 
to bulk convert the samples/patches to EXS format. I've tried 
CDXtract, and also setting "Next instrument" key command to note on 
and attempting to get logic to auto convert all the millions of 
instruments by loading them, but nothing has worked. EXSManager would 
be great, except it does not convert from SampleCell, it only manages 
EXS format patches. Can anyone help me???

Thanks,

Josh

    Whatever became of the Akai disks?EXS can import
from them dirctly.You might also try Chicken Systems
Translator.It has run a little lesss smoothly for me
than CD Xtract,but it does have a far more extensive
range of translations,and can do them in bulk.

Hi Josh, 

Do you know Chicken Translator? It seems to be useful for this kind of application. Take a 
look here:
