Make sure you are using the latest version. if this continues, put in a Bug Report http://www.chickensys.com/translator/bugreports

STS uses dual mono currently. That's not such a bad deal - dual mono is practically stereo. Akai even states in their manuals that if you have a -L and -R in one Zone that it will be phase locked. If that's the case with STS, then the only issue is an organizational one.

Transaltor already does translate into the p+s formats (.p for programs, .s for samples) already, and you can load them into your STS. All Akai, Ensoniq, Emu, Kurzweil, Roland are avaialble. SoundFont and SampleCell are comming this week, as well as native STS support, which adds the additional ...

There's not too much demand for Emax, but we have most of the info here, so we should get it done. I assume you mean Emax->STS.

Question for all: what difference does it make that you can convert to p+s files as opposed to .sts-.wav files? Currently you can do p+s files.

You can sign up for the testers program; doesn't mean you'll be used. Give some good qualifications, and I know we'll be running some trials soon.

As for the discount, I'll try to set something up.

OK, we'll take care of that. I do know that the long file names, if larger than 12 characters (10 if stereo, but I don't think STS stores stereo .wav files, does it?), will be truncated.

I'll tr ythe next build, up later this week.

Hi - like this forum, just joined.

Chicken Systems will be translating directly into the STS format (which means .sts files and .wav files) very shortly. We will be adding the additional parameters STS facilitates and the long files names that STS makes available.

PC and Mac flavors will be ...
