General Translator WIndows and Mac FAQ

1. How much is Translator?

10. Do you support (fill in your sampler here) yet?

11. Does the program come on DAT tape?

12. How does the program work?

13. You can't write to my Akai SCSI Drive. You can't even read it - I tried it; I hooked it up to my computer, and it said "Disk not formatted, would you like to format?" I can't even see the directories.

14. Aren't parameters on different samplers different? How is it possible to make instruments to sound the sample on completely different samplers?

15. Why should I get Translator when my sampler already imports the formats I want?

16. What if I don't like the translations that Translator performs? What if I spot a bug or a obvious translation error?

18. How is Translator shipped and how is it updated?

19. I think I could be a good beta-tester. Where could I sign up?
