Overall, I quickly learned more about the sample libraries in my collection with ExSC than I had with any previous audio editor.

This might sound trivial, but I quickly spotted some 32‑bit samples that I'd been working on and forgotten to convert to 16‑bit in their final versions, thus halving their file size. The various sample formats are also displayed with different icons, making it easy to see at a glance whether you're dealing with mono or stereo files in 16‑bit, 24‑bit or 32‑bit depth.

You can also create your own virtual disks and copy them onto Zip or MO media.

I had no problems reading Akai and Emu CD‑ROMs, nor virtual disk copies taken from old Syquest 270MB cartridges used many years ago with my Akai hardware sampler. Those with hardware samplers can also audition sounds from proprietary formats such as CD‑ROMs, Zip and magneto‑optical drives, as well as virtual disks hard drive files that contain raw data copied from such formats). This may prevent you examining some commercial libraries, but otherwise I found the range of ExSC formats very comprehensive. Only 'protected' formats such as Kontakt's monolithic files (where an instrument preset and all the samples it uses are combined into a single file) fail to open, giving an 'unknown file' error. Clicking on a file in an audio or sample format automatically plays back that sound, as well as displaying the sample data in the right‑hand Graphics panel, complete with any looping information.īetter still, if you choose one of the preset/instrument Source Formats from the wide range on offer, you can not only play back any of the individual samples within it, but also audition the entire preset across the MIDI keyboard range, either with your mouse and the velocity‑sensitive virtual MIDI keyboard, or polyphonically, using an attached MIDI keyboard controller.Īll the sample key and velocity mappings appear in the Preset window, making ExSC a wonderful way to learn how designers have assembled their creations from a bunch of samples. With Explorer‑style navigation in the left‑hand pane to track down the files you're after, you just choose a Source Format from the drop‑down menu at the top of the application, whereupon all files of this type appear in the window alongside. Many audio editors and sequencers make it a tedious process to listen to multiple audio files one at a time, but with ExSC it's an absolute breeze.

When I started reviewing Extreme Sample Converter, I expected to be mainly using it for format conversions, but within a few days found myself relying on it for audio file browsing and auditioning, at which it excels. Browse BeaterĪs a sample browser and looper, ExSC rivals some fully featured stereo audio editors. As its name suggests, this stand‑alone application offers a wide range of import/export options, as well as promising more thorough conversions, but it's also capable of a lot more. When this happens, it's time to reach for a more comprehensive utility - like Wlodzimierz Grabowski's Extreme Sample Converter.

Many software samplers will import other formats, but they may not support the particular format you need, or do a less‑than‑thorough job of conversion, leaving you with sounds that simply don't 'feel' right, even if all the samples end up in the right place. If you're about to make the switch from a hardware to a software sampler, or to a new software sampler, it's important to make sure that you can carry on using your existing sample libraries.

So what is extreme sample conversion, and how is it better than the ordinary kind?Įxtreme Sample Converter makes it easy to browse through folders full of presets, examine their sample contents, audition them in real time using the virtual keyboard (at bottom left) or your MIDI keyboard, and convert them to other sample formats. From sports to computer programming, it seems that there's an extreme version of everything these days.
