I'm on board. Been using it. Love it. Works great for most things.

I'm a bit of a rookie to all this, but don't you just load in almost any multisample into the sts - then when you save, it seems to be in sts format....
am I confused ?

STS format is good. For the STS.

If you have raw audio files you can create an STS instrument from scratch; this takes a while. You must place by hand each sample where you want it to go and indicate the parameters for that particular instrument.
On Sample CD's there are instruments all ready to load and play. However, the Creamware samplers only take certain formats of instruments. Creamware only accepts instruments from three Formats, Akai, Sound Fonts, and its own STS format. But there are many others: Roland, Yamaha, Emu, Ensoniq, etc.
This is why the translator software is so useful. You can get those Roland, Emu, Ensoniq, Kurzweil, etc. formats into your computer.
Most computers will give you an error message if you put in Sample CD's that aren't native to the OS of that computer unless you have some software to interpret.

Ah hah !
I now totally understand. In fact, I should really have understood straight away, having downloaded some kurzweil multi-samples and not having been able to use them.
Thanks all the same

use any kind of dos / windows tracker they all can handle krz files and are mostly freeware, export the samples to wave within and you got it ready for any other sampler or audio sequencer

Anyone ever used CDXtract? I have been using it to change S1000 files to S5000/6000 files... Am I wasting my time (what I mean is, does the STS read S1000?)
thanks,

Yes, STS should read S1000 files.

And it soes...
It read S1000 CDs, S3000 CDs, SF2 files (some report problems, i don't) and, obviously, STS program...
For single files that you can create program with, it read wav, and aiff

That's interesting that you don't have problems importing Sound Fonts.
Do you import Sound Fonts with many velocity layers - ie more than 4? This is what I see to be the biggest weakness in the STS .sf2 import - well it is for me anyway.
