Re: AKAI to EXS - Merge Programs

Thanks for that Garth.

The "gotchas" I'm experiencing are intentionally layered volumes from Quantum Leap Guitars 
and Bass. Some of the Acoustic patches have 5 "layered" programs in the one akai volume. 
But one of those layers is detuned by -3 semitones (it's a guitar bend). If I import the 
individual programs into EXS you can see that particular program has it's Tune parameter set 
to -3 in the EXS main panel. But when the Akai importer merges the programs together that 
information is (understandably) lost because it was applied to the program, not the zone. 
Thus, when I press the key at full velocity to squeeze out that nice bend it plays 3 semitones 
too high!

So, if programs like Translator can calculate that and apply it to the samples in that zone... 
fantastic!

Thankfully I still have an Akai S2000 so I can dig into the parameters to find out when things 
don't sound right, but it's obviously much better to just get the conversion right in the first 
place.

Cheers!

Dave.
