Akai S5000-Z Series to Emagic EXS-24 mkI & II Translation

Status: Implemented in the current version of Translator.
This translation is available on the Windows and Mac versions.

This translation is rather easy - each .akp file is translated into a .exs file. The path references to the .wav files are written into the .exs file. There is no need to alter the .wav files, as the EXS-24 handles the Akai-generated .wav files, with the special Akai chunk information, just as any .wav file that it would handle.

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.
