Re: [sgroup] Any S-news out there?

There hasn't been any action on this group for months so I thought I'd get something going.... I hardly use my S550 anymore but I have literally hundreds of floppy disks of sounds. It seems a shame for all of these to not be used anymore. This is really just laziness and ease of use - I work with Logic Pro 8 and tend to use their EXS24 sampler exclusively. I have the old S-Mac set of utilities for reading and writing S550 disks and sometimes use them to just lift sounds off the floppies, for import into EXS24. This works okay for very simple things like drum samples and hits. I also use CDXtract and sometimes Translator to convert S760 disks and these work well. I know it's possible to do a convert load of S550 disks into S760, then convert via CDXtract to EXS24, but this is is long process. To add to this, my S760 has suddenly become sick and says I only have 1.2 MB RAM - I actually have 32MB. (But that's another problem....) Has anyone come across new (or old) utilities for bringing S550 sample disks into the 21st century? Something to read and convert these precious old treasures.....
