Product Description

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.

Software Samplers Translator? led the way 3 years ago in reading proprietary hardware sampler CD's and hard drives, and making those sounds available for the new breed of computer-driven samplers. Gigasampler's power was unlocked by Translator's initial support over two years ago. HALion translations were released the day after it was released.
