Translator? is the ULTIMATE program for dealing with professional sampler formats. Translator? handles more professional formats that people are using for music than any other conversion program. It translates quickly and accurately and in an easy, natural manner.Translator? led the way 3 years ago in reading proprietary hardware sampler CD's and hard drives, and making those sounds available for the new breed of computer-driven samplers.supported by Translator and no one else.Even today, no program reads and translates more proprietary disk formats. Translator reads 11 of them! Count: 1) Akai S-1000/3000, 2) Roland S-7x, 3) Roland S-50/550 Series*, 4) Emu, 5) Kurzweil, 6) Ensoniq*, 7) Fairlight*, 8) Peavey*, 9) Yamaha*, 10) Akai MPC, 11) Macintosh HFS - with even more coming! *unique to TranslatorSoftware samplers have been slow to amasse the programmability of hardware samplers, so Translator led the way in innovative designs that unlocked those features that other programs are just now discovering. Features like bidirectional and reverse looping, multi-stage envelope algorithms, and many more. Translator was the first to offer EXS-24 translations that truly stuffed more elaborate parameters into the global scheme of the EXS. Even today, Translator offers more accurate translations across the board than any other program.Although software samplers are unique, hardware samplers aren't dying. They are still preferred for live gig's and still retain th... ... Read more

• The basic concept of âgroupingâ like sample types - in this case the multiple velocities, pedal up/pedal down, Short Staccato vs
• full decay, and so forth together into their own folders, then just dropping the folders into the Grouping window - was created
• One group (in a folder), for instance would be all the mezzoForte/pedal up/full decay versions of all the notes
• This is how you would normally take the samples in the studio anyway - with one preamp setting and performance style at a time
• Thus, all of the notes in the group can be edited together or the âWizardâ can be run to map and assign the parameter foundation of the entire instrument automatically

The ultimate in sampling
Long awaited (altogether too long), but worth it.This is a major improvement over version 2.5, and, quite frankly, is in my opinion the only real option for large scale (ie. symphonic) sampling work.By my estimation, its improved ram handling allows you to load about 33% more samples on your system - and it load thems very quickly!What before might have taken ten minutes, now takes less than one.
The inclusion of Gigapulse cannot be overemphasized - it is astonishing, the best convolution reverb I have heard.No need for anything else once you have this.
The new piano included is also a nice piece of work - in fact, it is better than most piano libraries available commercially.A shame they didn't decide to sample a concert grand (of the Steinway, Bosendorfer, or Fazioli variety), but it can be applied to many different uses.

A must have for the serious composer.

P.S.
There can be some problems when first installing, but these can be overcome in virtually all cases.Frustrating yes, but the rewards are too great to ignore. ... Read more
