Awave Studio 11 - Supports KRONOS.

Did you try redownloading and reinstalling? It sounds like something is corrupted.
Possibly a broken dependency.

It's a fresh install off the original disk, and then the update patch is applied. I don't think it's a dependency issue as the program seems to function reasonable well when converting to other formats.

I'll certainly keep it installed. It's infinitely way better than it used to be and I like some if it's features. Converting to KRONOS format seems to be broken though for most files I've tested.

Sharp, to be constructive, report your issue plus the Akai Volume in question to Chicken Systems via Bug Reports (see the Help menu, and the manual as well). Just posting to a forum - even if it is yours - really doesn't help diagnose the issues you are seeing. I don't frequent this forum.

We've converted many SoundFonts and Akai CD's - and GIGA files and countless Kontakt libraries and EXS24 stuff, etc. etc. and have had no problems whatsoever. Same with our customers thus far.

Here's a video showing our experience: http://www.chickensys.com/_videos/akai2kronos.mp4. See, it works fine. Please note the contents of the Akai disk, plus Translator's display of the new Kronos bank - this is viewing and auditioning that isn't matched and is Korg specific.

Any issue is almost always file dependent, so help us out and submit the file in question. (Read the manual on how to do this.)

Also, we have a new build coming b28 that possibly may deal with these issues. But maybe not, perhaps it's a setup issue or something else. But unless you contact us, we'll never know. Help us out.

(Another thing I should point out - Awave does not set the Kronos up for streaming, whereas Translator does.)

---

Also, can you perhaps split this Translator stuff out to a separate thread? The thread is titled to Awave, not Translator. (I apologize for bringing it up, but I didn't mean to totally take it over. My apologies.)

Hi Garth.
Ok will do as it seems massive improvements have been made to the software.

Regards
Sharp.

Ah ok I understood you had instant crashes all over the place.

As a registered user of Awave, I just got an email from FMJ Soft letting me know ver 11 has been released. Not a free update, but still, a fair price considering the software now read/writes KRONOS file formats, including PCG.

Sharp.

Can this thing read OASYS PCG's as well?

I have had problems with former Chickensys software versions just like Sharp and have been quite critical towrads Chickensys due to some experience back then.

But the present Translator works quite well. I have bought the full version and face only casual problems converting into Kronos format. Overall it's a great conversion tool, and I really enjoy using the software.

I think a good job deserves a fair answer, so I give this kind of public support here.

Yes, Trinity, Triton, M50, M3, KRONOS, OASYS PCG files providing they are using external samples and not ROM data.

The Demo version I believe will convert 1 sound at a time if you wanted to check it out.

Sharp.

Yes, I think I started using it at ver 2.5 and back then it was a complete and utter mess.

Now however it and entirely different story. It seems to be pretty good, although KRONOS conversion is pretty much completely broken for me unless I'm converting dead basic stuff like SFz files. Outside that, everything else seems to run just fine.

I'll get to file a bug report the weekend with test files, so hopefully that will go towards helping the issues I've found with KRONOS support.

Regards
Sharp.

Thanks Sharp for "paving" the way for us and getting the bugs ironed out.

Wouldn't it be awesome if either the Translator, or Awave, could take a "Sound" from Korg arrangers and convert it to a "Program" for Kronos?

Cheers

You can do that right now with programs Sample Robot: no big deal to resample ANY midi-synth sound into the Kronos.

Be aware though, that we talk about resampling: you don't get the original velocity layers or special articulations. You should resample the dry sound and then rebuild it with Kronos effects. So it will never be completely 1:1 due to the whole signal chain. But basically you can can get any raw hardware sound from any midi-synth into the Kronos and make it sound quite similar to the original.

Talking about Arrangers, I see Awave Studio also supports reading of KORG's Arranger PCM format.

I don't see a way to directly save to that format though, although it doesn't matter since the Arrangers read standard Triton format PCG and KSC files.

Sharp.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to convert a nki file to kronos PCG in Awave, but I can only get Mono KSF files, so I'm loosing the stereo samples. Any idea why?

Thanks in advance.

phillix2 · Post by **phillix2** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:30 am

To be clearer, I'm getting a single mono file, not left and right files.
