AMILkita Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hello everyone, I was hoping that someone may be able to assist me with a matter. I would like to import an old sample library, that I've sadly neglected for far too long, and now realize I missed the migration train. I've searched high and low in this forum, and on the web for current and relevant information that will assist me getting it done. Befoire it really becomes too late. Any info would be very appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Most of those old conversion routines and Akai CD-ROM conversions are gone or don’t work any more as it’s old 32-bit legacy code. Kontakt can still handle things like Akai cd-roms, and the EXS24 can still convert giga and soundfont files (not sure about Sampler now, haven't checked). What format is the sample library?

Plowman Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I am long since unpracticed in the arcane methods of sample conversion. *Nevertheless* I still feel confident that Chicken Systems’ “Translator” can convert nearly anything into anything. http://www.chickensys.com/products2/translator/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMILkita Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 I have mostly Akai formats, but also quite a few in Giga, Acid, and Rex formats, too.

des99 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I have mostly Akai formats, but also quite a few in Giga, Acid, and Rex formats, too. Giga and Rex you can probably do with the EXS24 in 10.4 or below. Akai CD-ROMs you can still do with Kontakt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMILkita Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 I recently learned that Kontakt 6 no longer supports importing Akai files, and I do not have an older version of Logic to install. I have mostly Akai formats, but also quite a few in Giga, Acid, and Rex formats, too. Giga and Rex you can probably do with the EXS24 in 10.4 or below. Akai CD-ROMs you can still do with Kontakt.
