I own CDXtract, and there are currently too many missing parameters and bugs in the S56k -> EXS24 conversion (3.4 and latest 3.5 beta) to make it useful. Before I list them I should say that Bernard is hard at work fixing them, so perhaps by the time you read this the following won't be a problem any more. I did the following: 1. Converted from AkaiCD to EXS using the EXS24 built-in converter. 2. Converted from AkaiCD to S56k using CDXtract, then again using CDXtract to go from S56k to EXS24. Current bugs: Panning is incorrect (-50<P, should be -100<0), sample paths are incorrecty specified. Filter and amplitude envelopes differ a lot from the EXS24 conversion. Missing features: Lots. LFO parameters are either incorrect or missing, modulation sources are incorrect.. etc... This is no critique against CDXtract. I use it just for the S1000 -> S56k conversion which works perfectly, so I'm really very satisfied with CDXtract ! > 2. Can EXS-24 convert Akai S1000/2000 formats from the computers hard > disk (not CD)? Use CDXtract for this too (unless you want EXS24 output :)... Best regards, Johan Sanneblad
