With Pro Tools is not related, but due to the Sample Cell. I have a disc with the banks and with the help of Akai Bitheadz Osmosis, I would like to convert Akai banks under SC 2 Plus. I love SC 2 Plus. Maybe there is another currency for this purpose? I would be most grateful.

in all my years i have never met anyone who was using this stuff. eventually it is just underrated. :)

when i remember right osmosis keeps chrashing on OS9.x

phrazer would have had the potential to become the new multitrack recycle, but somehow it looks ugly and the file formats are not interchangeable with other apps; there is not a single program which could read unity or acid on mac.

voodoo, well. boing bumm tschak?

Some bitheadz softwares were good. The main problem I remember was....the graphic interfaces. Voodoo was a real pain in the a$$ to use...

the usual fate of "early birds", they were avantgardists but then failed to jump on the plug-in train.

unless you actually use retro, you can replace osmosis with CDXtract for reading roland CDs.

it is usually about 15 minutes work for me to upload older stuff... sorry for the delay atariman. :)

install 1.1
apply patch (if you want to use this version)
run and close
install 1.1.2
run demo or authorize

note: the .img is a shrinkwrap.
