FANTOM X TRANSLATOR AGONY-MITATIONS?

Maybe this is the raol reason for this huge delay...
chyck sys maybe had accepted a big unexpensive HOTTT potato!!!!

what do you think?
you know this situation is becoming...funny

work in progress

ummmmmf

i don't think they will release anything before translator 3

mind what will happen today...the 25 of october
the last day of their announcement

NADA

i repeat it...they would have to release it without any docs within and release them after...
i would accept it...yes i think i will be able to survive...

work in progress

That's what I'm trying to find out. Being able to translate from Akai 1000 or Roland S series samplers is good, but nowadays many sample libraries are coming in Kontakt, EXS024, Giga, or one of the other softsampler formats. The Akai and Roland hardware formats are now legacy. No company developing a new sample library would have any motifation to develop in those formats.

If that's the case, then I'd gladly pay $149 to be able to translate from ALL formats listed at chickensys, to the Fantom. With 512 meg of RAM, that makes the Fantom X, XR, and hopefully Xa, very powerful sample playback units.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

that's my same thoughts about it
but chicks doens't answer to this simple questions?
they told us Fantom translator would be out from 23 to 25 of october
now that period has finished
and i'm becoming skeptic

also i'm looking for new ways
such as the one made for us
form the clever author of FX SAMPLE TOOL



work in progress

Thanks so much.

Hi all.

2TIM316: Hey man. I don't really have any inside information about Chicken Systems. Sorry. I know that Garth (the owner of Chicken Systems) has many times mentioned a release date for the translator software. Obviously he was either blatantly lying or just has persistently poor time management (or estimation) skills. In either case, many many release dates have come and gone. I'm betting by Winter NAMM, but again, there's no telling with Chicken Systems. :-\

Actually, I'm not at all concerned with a release date, or promises made or broken in this case. Instead I'm just looking to find out if the Translator will convert from all of those formats to the Fantom, whenever (okay if ever) it is released. For example could one acquire libraries in Halion, Giga, Kontakt, Akai 1000, Akai 3000, Akai 5000 and convert them all to Fantom-X?

Of course that opens up a whole world of possibilities heretofore mostly overlooked due to lack of soundware. But these things do hold up to 512mb of RAM, which is nothing to sneeze at. You could really customize a Fantom with that much memory, not the least of which would be to shore up weaknesses you percieve. For me, that might be a bland, vanilla, but nevertheless useful DX-7 Rhodes patch. Roland's always been lacking in that area, but there are a couple of DX-7 CD-ROMs in Akai 1000 format. With Translator I'm good to go, no?

Continued thanks!

BTW, I read some of the dialog on the Chickensys message boards, and to me this Garth guy is pretty cool. Remember, it's not just the Fantom conversion he's dealing with. Probably his Fantom-owning customers are in the vast minority. I think this product will be released soon and will be extremely full-featured, not to mention very useful.

i hope you're right
for me ,chycks has lost my trust
i don't think he will ever release OUR !!!
software
Roland has choosed the bad one,maybe with cdxtract
things would have been better...
look at motu mach 5 how is supported from cdxtract.
It's simply unexpensive for chicks....they have to sell their new Translator 3
not to gift us a similar version but totally FREE
i don't know if i was clear
actually we are on 26 th of october,
chycks says...22/25 october as a release dates...
the truth is...that ther's nothing out...for us
maybe Roland can explain us this behaviour..
does someone knows the HEADCHIEF e-mail of Roland?
maybe we can send a mega petition ..to remind them
their promises and our rights/money....
BYE

work in progress

Neutron - you are driving everyone crazy, here and at Chickensys. Garth has already appealed (on the northernsounds message board) that you stop asking over and over again when the new Translator will be released.

Plus, since your English is marginal (not a criticism), you run the risk of being mis-interpreted.

NEUTRON - PLEASE STOP DISCUSSING YOUR DISPLEASURE WITH THE TIMING OF THE TRANSLATOR RELEASE. YOU ARE DRIVING EVERYONE CRAZY AND WASTING ALL OF OUR TIME!

There are plenty of other great things surrounding the Fantom series that you can get involved in. There is so much to learn just here on this site. Why not poke around and see what you find?

+1 Tim,
I could kiss you !!!!!!

men

Translator 3 or Fnatom translator?

i don't think the Fx translator would capable to swap format
between fx/s roland s7xx/akay and all the others format (kontakt/gigastudio..etc..)

if it would be so...would be such as losing money for chycks
'cause the translator for fantom is free....
the second not...

which limitations you think there will be on Fantom x translator

if will be ever released...that's clear..
you know i'm becoming skeptic...

Dang, what was the question again?
