Akai/Pulsar/MESA to Emagic EXS-24 mkI & II Translation
Bulk translations are available, with the translation matching the Akai heirarchy.
The EXS-24 supports Stereo samples - click here for more information.
Translator gives you several options on where to put the translated .exs file(s) and the resulting .wav or AIFF files. Please see the EXS-24/HALion Options tab for more information.
Some translations may have varying results, due to the global nature of most of the EXS-24's cool program parameters. See Translation Comments for more details.
The EXS-24 has a unique way of referencing it's samples (.wav files or AIFF files) from it's .exs control file. Read the instructions on moving PC EXS-24 files to the Mac from the PC for more information if you plan on using Translator for Windows to translate and then move the files to the Mac. This will insure that the files work right when loaded into EXS-24 on the Mac.
The EXS-24 has a built-in Akai translator. It seems to be fairly accurate, but the implementation is slow and does not give any visual feedback. It is also limited in where you can store samples. Translator imports this format usually better than the onboard translator. Please see the Miscellaneous topic Akai-compatible Compliance Support for additional information on the subject.
