Professional Sampler Disk and File Format Convertor
Platform: Win/Mac
Take any sampler CD-ROM/disk and Translator™ can convert one or any of its Programs, Instruments, or Samples - or the entire CD-ROM/disk - into another format that you can use directly with that sampler!
Program parameter information is translated, as well as the samples and structure. Wavedata, keymaps, looping, effects - EVERYTHING. No program translates better. Translator™ pays attention to the small details, faithfully replicating your sounds.
Translator is a cross platform application - comes in Universal Binary Mac OSX Version 5.9 and Windows Vista/XP-compatible Version 2.9 flavors, and can translate practically every professional format, from Giga3/GigaStudio, EXS24, Kontakt, Reason NN-XT, SFZ, SoundFont, SampleCell, Kurzweil, Ensoniq, Akai, Emu, Roland, and many more. This enables musicians to use practically any sound for their sampler, no matter what format it is in.
Translator Windows 2.9 has a huge destination format list, mostly encompassing all the source formats. The Translator Mac current destination list includes EXS24, Kontakt, Structure, Independence, HALion, Reason NN-XT, SampleTank, SFZ, Roland MV8000 and Fantom, Alesis Fusion, Korg Triton, and Battery 1. More formats are coming.
Translator Windows 2.9 offers a huge amount of ancillary functions, such as special utilities of every sampler format. Of particular interest is the Reference Manager, which can relink and change the links to external samples from their program files. Other functions include Bulk Editing, the Loop Manager, Extend Key Ranges, merging, and much more.
Translator Mac 5.9 also introduces multiple docking windows for excellent use of screen space. Also included is the new SimpleTranslation™ feature, where you simply drag a source file on the application Icon, and Translator automatically translates into your preferred format and location.
Translator™ is the ULTIMATE program for dealing with professional sampler formats.
Translator™ handles more professional formats that people are using for music than any other conversion program. It translates quickly and accurately and in an easy, natural manner.

Giga Power
-Translator is the ONLY program that writes real, authentic, exact .gig files, ones designed to be read into Giga without any rewriting etc. within the editor. Translator write regular files, not irregular ones as other programs do
-Translator writes exact v2.0 files, while others write only version 1
-Translator can write not only .gig files, but Giga Performances as well. This enables mimicking of Akai Multis and Roland Performances
-Translator compensates for Giga's restriction on mono-or-stereo Regions by intelligently combining or splitting, also can pre-determine mono or stereo as the above
-Compensates for non-exponential Layers and Dimensions accurately
-Writes condensed .gig files and does not include residual information
- Writes Instruments into single .gig files whenever possible, instead of splitting them, does not write unnecessary folders
-" Bulk Convert" Roland option virtually eliminates replicated samples from Roland CD's or disks
- Respects Giga's 128 Instrument limit and writes a minimum of multiple .gig files if necessary without sample replication (common issue with SoundFont->Giga translations)
- Extracts Instruments into Groups or individually, extracts samples and imports them as well.
