Wave Mapping Into Program Structures - Instrument Building
You can take a group of .wav files (for that matter, any "single sample file," such as AIFF, Akai MPC .snd, SoundDesigner, Triton .ksf, and Pulsar .s files), and automap them into, for example, an .exs file, and Akai Program, or other. Plus, there's TONS of options that enable you to do it just like YOU want to, not what some program limits you to do.

Parameter Tolerance
It is a common situation to have a more complex translation need to go down to a considerably less complex one. Kind of like fitting a square peg into a round hole. In many of these situations, Translator uses a technique of building multiple objects and tying them together with a master object.

For instance, SampleCell has many parameters in it's Instrument file on the Global level, affecting every sample and every key range. What if the incoming translation needs to have varying parameters for each sample? The solution is to write one SC Instrument for every set of changes, and create SC Bank file to combine them all in. Yet that can sometimes lead to a mass, too many, of Instruments that have perhaps negligible effect on the sound.

In other instances, you are limited to the amount of "Instruments" you can make, for example the Korg Triton only allows 8 Programs per Combi (the master object). In those cases you would have to put a cap on the amount of Instruments you could make.

Translator gives you a special Parameter Tolerance option, which enables you to go for exact results (max amount of Instruments made), to a more liberal setting with fewer, even just one Instrument made.

Again, for example, let's take a drum kit that has many different Pan settings for each sample. Let's say the format you are translating into only supports the Pan parameter on the global Instrument level. Setting the Parameter Tolerance to zero tolerance would create many Instruments - one for every drum! Setting it to a more acceptable 50% would retain the basic sound and make your organization responsibilities easier.

Same with a Piano that has varying response parameters or envelopes per key. If you try to translate into the Triton, you'll wind up with too many Programs and make it non-translatable. Parameter Tolerance enables the best possible accurate translation of these sounds.

Lots Of Options
Not putting lots of Options in a program for the sake of simplicity is short-sighted. Translator has a mass of options for EVERY translation, so if you need it, it's there. All the options are conveniently put in a standard Options dialog for easy access - it even remembers what option and area you selected last.

Works Within a Studio Network Environment
Translator is designed in all ways to work within a networking environment, so if you need to install Translator on several workstations\, you can do so with full versatility of permissions, etc. Translator's liberal per-user licensing makes it economical, too.

Updates are ALWAYS Free
With the possible exception of the Translator Mac, Translator has remained at the same price of $149.95. Other programs require you to pay for major upgrades. We don't. Also, you can get a Special Edition of Translator that costs half as much, that only translates to a single destination format.

Available At Your Local Music Store
You can pick up a physical hard copy of Translator at your local music store, try it out there, get advice from a real human being. Even if you do order it via mail, you get a real CD and manual.
