Converting VST or RTAS Sampler Plugins into Hardware format (Akai, Roland, EMU forma

[miek07]

Using an EMU E6400 or Akai S5000, does anyone know any practical method to convert GIGA Samplebanks into ROLAND,AKAI, EMU formats, givin they hav 512-2Gigs of Ram?

For example, I'd like to Layer Quantum Leap/Eastwest VOICES OF PASSION and STORMDRUM patches into a S5000 or E6400 http://www.eastwestsamples.com/detai...?cd_index=1034 and play it back using similar keyboar triggering functionality. (Im talking about converting GIGASAMPLER like Patches [Like 2G programs] to 64MB-128MB velocity layered programs on S5000 or E6400.

For example, the goal is to play a Female Singer Patch from VOICES of Passion via MIDI, as opposed to recording a Sample Clip (which we currently do)

The following is what I'm currently doing; downsample audio clips (vocal loops) and layering those loops in DRUM patch mode with velocity switching -> compression at 22k samplerate 16Bit.

However I cant for the life of me figure out how to load multi sample data - convert it (via compression) and then convert it to AKAI/ROLAND/EMU format with Layers/Patch Mapping intact, to better replicate the giga samples into the hardware Samplers in up to 64/128MB intervals respectively.

I ask because I'd like to bring my Rack and Two Keyboards to shows with VOP patches intact on a sampler. And trigger them not only with midi (loops), but also play them live with my fingers (Multisample/layered/Velo Switching) which preserving the nuances of the original application (I have no problem manualy editing loopoints/transients/portamento rules form EMU or AKAI sampler, etc) but I seen it done before with a GIGA Piano Set using similar conversion methods described above and it worked awesome, I just want to do the same thing to a vocal collection.


Does anyone know of any tools out there that MAPS that kind of stuff for you, then converts fidility (48khz/24bit -> 16bit 22khz (with dithering)) while preserving velocity switches/layering/loopoints/transients/sample map going to AKAI, ROLAND, or EMU format (essentially from 1GB to 128 MB)?

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks
