Emu E4/EOS to Akai S5000-Z Series Translation

Translator improves on the stock S-5000 translation by adding bulk translations, supporting ALL EOS bank files, and more accurately translating certain parameters. Translator supports linked Presets when exporting from Emu EOS.

Translator also supports translating to stereo Akai S-5000 .wav files when appropriate (see the miscellaneous topic Stereo Wave Support).

The Akai S-5000 can read Emu EOS sounds, although only one at a time, and the translation could be improved. The S-5000 currently cannot read Emu "Soundsprint" type banks, a somewhat special type of sound bank.

Akai S-5000 series samplers require 15 samples (30 total when stereo) after the loop end marker when a sample is looped. Translator takes this into consideration and adds these samples when appropriate.
