I have added another useful utility for Mac users at http://MusicBootCamp.com/EXS24.shtml Invisible File Copier: This nifty utility allows Mac users to view Type/Creator codes of existing files (any kind), change those codes, view invisible files, make invisible files visible and visa versa.

Hey, great stuff! Just finished downloading (what a pain to wait if you're on a modem) and loading, only played a few note, but so far I love that oldfashoned sound a lot! Thanks a lot, Thomas! Sascha

Thank you Eric P. (Don't even get me >started on how cool Groove Control is...) Thanks Scott...if you dig those aspects of MM you'll flip over Stylus...we expanded the menu concept and broke it down to EVERY tempo, with Swing versions and percussion menus too! You can filter and tweak each loop key independantly just by touching the keys and changing the sliders in Zone Edit mode....really creative and fast way to customize the grooves.

Thanks for that recent Autotyper link! I've been trying to import some samples (all free and clear) from pc format and have been having some bad luck. This recent Autotyper helped, but now I need one that will change underscores to actual spaces. (trying to retype 800 samples is not something I'm looking forward to!) Does any one know if something like this exists? thanks! joey b the echoing green www.echocentral.com

Eric, Completely unfair!!! Teasing is not allowed. ;^) On a more serious note, I hope you do reconsider releasing further GC titles, ie: Brazilian Beats. As happy as I am with the RetroFunk & BackBeat CDs, one of the reasons I bought into the GC concept was the planned Latin percussion disk(s). While there may be advances in your virtual instruments that carry beyond what you can do w/EXS & GC, I do hope you consider finishing off the original classic drumming trilogy of disks.

Why would you do this? Wouldn't that spoil the EXS instrument since it is going to search for the sample names under their original spellings? What about the sample sets is not currently working? Or are the underscores being added after the import process somehow? It's shouldn't be this hard.

Hello . something in and out Topic... I use a soft to rename hundred of files in a sequential process, for pieces of drawing animations for example. Graphic Converter 3.9, on Mac Intosh, I hope it runs under Windows too. It's a graphical soft, very famous and shareware with a little fee to obtain full functions. You can process the renaming functions on any kind of files (datas). Using it , you can rename for example : sound_piano01.wav to sound-piano01.wav and do it for thousand instances in one click. Just try it. And let me know in private mail if it's ok ? Try www.versiontracker.com to download the last version. GraphicConverter is the exact spelling, may be case sensitive. Eric LE GUEN ericleguen@...

Hello, There's also a few utilities on www.downloads.com such as 'drop rename' - it will change any instance of a character/sequence of characters to whatever you like. You have to be careful though because once you've renamed files there's no undo capability. On the whole downloads.com is a really useful resource for finding little utilities like this (for both mac and PC).

I did a quick search for renaming utilities at http://downloads.cnet.com and found a lot of results for Mac. You can try a similar search for PC shareware/freeware.

Dear Eric, So your saying to get the exs to read the files in some usable order I will have to rename everyone?? Thanks gary

Hi I've searched the database about this, but all answers seem to point to extracting the Akai bit to a disc imge using a Windows utility in Virtual PC. There must be an easier way on the Mac??? Thanks Mike
