Easiest way to transport Stylus's sounds to wav?

[djones]

I'd like to use Stylus's samples (hat, kicks, snares and percussion) within Linplug RM4 or Reason Redrum.
What would be the fastest way to do this?

I think someone suggested using Chainer. I personally have been exporting them using midi and then chopping up wav files, which I guess is exactly what you are trying to avoid. To be honest I'm only about 1/3 of the way thru and I have already lost the will to live. but at least this way I can return to it when I want some new drum sounds to use....tedious work tho.

I don't own Chainer BTW...

... if I remember correctly someone once said here that some wave-editor would load the soundfiles of spectrasonics' and plugsounds' soundmodules, but I don't know its name ...

You could try to export things from chainer, just as CypherOne said. You don't even need to buy it as the demo exports fine.
Personally, when doing such things I just set up a bunch of MIDI sequences, playing all notes and export at different velocities.
The cutting job could then be done using either ReCycle, Waveknife (which is free) or whatever audio editor of your choice.

Alternatively you could indeed try to open the data files as "raw" data in, say, Audacity. It's free and here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Anyways, no matter what you'll do, I'm not sure whether this would be a copyright infringement. After all the Spectrasonics dudes were using proprietary file formats (which I allways find rather lame, btw.) to keep things inside their products.
But then, I think if you're only using things for your personal stuff it might not matter at all what you do with the data delivered by Spectrasonics.

I think Sascha is correct, that you can do what you like as long as its strictly for your own use, but I'd like spectrum's confirmation of that...

surely if you can export the loops to wav then you can do the same with the single hits. I have anyway.
