Dear Creamware sampler users.

We would like to inform you about fantastic thing which was released in the new release of the great conversion utility called EXtreme Sample Converter 2.

Now full support for your creamware formats. Both are fully implemented. The *.sts files and *.p files.

Let mi introduce some of the most important features for you:
- Quick and easy conversion from AKAI -> P, STS with auto-creating of directories.
- Conversion from other popular formats like GigaSampler, Halion, Kontakt and other
- Stereo compatibility, it means that stereo samples are always saved in one keygroup which allows you to save voice polyphony.

If you have any quesiotns please write. We're welcome to hear about new ideas and suggestions.

PS. Currently the software works under PC platform still but we are going to move it into Mac platform.

Good luck and enjoy with this tool.

Wow! That would be handy. I just hope it is easy to manipulate...

Forgot to ask:

How much will it coust more and less?

zezappa · Post by **zezappa** » Wed Feb 11, 2004 9:16 pm

price is 50eur/60US$.

The diagram on site shows it can import akai or STS programs but it will not export them to Halion/Kontakt.
But I'm thinking if it exports SF2 or Giga, for instance, I´ll be able to import from one of those formats then to Hal/Kont.

I've been looking for an Akai S5000/6000 CD pack which I'd like to order but it seems that STS x000 only load akai S1000/3000.

Can someone, please, answer about and if with all that import/export activity with EXSC the parameters of the programs don't go crazy and made them unusable?
thanks

glad to know it (about EXSC) but will CWA answer me if the STS series open akai S5000/6000 format CD?
...maybe I'll try, thanks.

No, STS will not open S5000/S6000 programs from cd, but it will read wav on them.

S5000/S6000 is a standard iso9660 formatted CD. So you can read all wav files.

thanks for answering, marcus, that's what I thought and then, much work to rebuild programs, insn't it?

cdxtract does it pretty well.

akai/sts is almost the same format, nthing is lost from conversion

zezappa · Post by **zezappa** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 8:28 pm

thanks for telling me, marcus

though cdxtract is a bit "expensive" and you know... in this second and a half world country where I live the only source for implementing my knowledge is here at Z (or net elsewhere) and for last years I've found no friends, no band partners, no "real" people to talk or to share with.

Sometimes I feel afraid to just order tools/devices I know nothing about (still there are demos online) and my budget is not that high at all, too.

I havent got problems with akai s1000/3000 CDs but with sf2 when imported with different samplers is almost sure that they're going to sound different in each one.
At last, I also has been disregarding to learn samplers use, rather than loading ready made programs. My fault!
