Chicken
Systems has announced the release of a beta version of
Translator 6,
a major new version of their instrument conversion software.
It comes in Mac and Windows versions. The older Windows
version has been completely rewritten from scratch and is
feature-feature equivalent to the Mac version. The new
features in Translator Mac are now fully functional in
Translator Windows.
Translator 6
includes new long-requested features:
Beat
Detection
Translator 6 includes several beat-detection algorithms so
sample files (WAVE/AIFF, other) can be converted into
slice-formats such as ACID, AppleLoops, Stylus RMX, and others
(Recycle 2 not included). You can now bulk-convert hundreds of
WAVE files into slice-formats without the need to do it
clumsily one at a time.
Instrument Player
Translator 6 includes a brand new Instrument player so most
Instruments you can view in Translator 6 can be played from
your MIDI keyboard or onscreen keyboard for auditioning or
enjoyment.
Rewritten
Master Translation Dialog
Instrument-specific conversion options now appear here for
quick/specific changes.
Rewritten
Windows Version
The venerable Translator 2.9 has now been finalized at v3.0
and deprecated. Further completion will be done incrementally
but the official version is now version 6. This version is
code and feature compatible with Translator Mac v6 and adds
the many new features Translator Mac had, such as detachable
windows, Batch Convertor, Instrument Viewer, and most
importantly the advanced standardized Conversion Engine (which
powers Translator Mac, other Chicken Systems products, and is
licensed to Native Instruments and other professional sampling
companies).
New
Compiler
Translator 6 is created using a new modern compiler resulting
in more stable and faster operation.
