Thank you for adding the option to convert to 24 bit/48kHz for Blackbox!

Pretty cool - any plans for Logic EXS/Sampler format support?

One can only hope! In all honesty, EXS is one of the last commercial formats that you can still buy that is not encrypted and easily converts well to other formats. But it's not an open format. That's the problem. Yet I continue to hope. :)
C/R, dongles & other intrusive copy protection equals less-control & more-hassle for consumers. Company gone-can’t authorize. Limit to # of auths. Instability-ie PACE. Forced internet auths. THE HONEST ARE HASSLED, NOT THE PIRATES.

Can you point me to a documentation of the format and some example files?

I can certainly point you to example files, but I’m not sure about where to look for format documentation. I’ll try to see what I can find. Thank you for your interest in this possible feature!!

I had a look, but I am afraid there was nothing helpful among it.

No, I admit, I have not found any specifications. Yet somehow, other developers have somehow managed to make converters, so the specs have to be out there somewhere—unless they were reverse engineered. At any rate, I’ll keep looking, or maybe someone else will find them.

This might be useful for reference. Acquiring the EXS data by copying it out of EXS itself is a bit of a shortcut. Perhaps it's all encoded in the preset file and "just" needs to be decoded. Decent Sampler has an option to import EXS so maybe David could offer some help or the information might be out there somewhere.

I have one big wish for the converter tool can you add maybe Bitwig Drum machine translation from lets say Akai MPC?

Akai MPC to Bitwig drum machine!

Bitwig is simply missing variaty in its drum library

I can supply a sample file in exs, nki, fxb, and sxt if that will help.

No, since this would mean to reverse engineer their preset format.

Would be a start but I simply do not have the time to reverse engineer file formats.

No problem. Just know that you’re welcome to any and all of my sample libraries, just say the word.

Dear Moss,

thank you so much for your contribution and hard work!

I wanted to download the latest version, but it seems that your website is offline. Does anyone have a link to a mirror?

Seems my DNS provider is down (they created a swimming pool in their computing centre).
For the time being you can reach the server directly: https://92.205.106.63 (you have to ignore the SSL warning).
