James will certainly get good results,
why:
-he converted Native Instruments Bandstand sounds to giga format.
-Bandstand-sounds are in kontakt fotmat
-kontakt format is well recognized by extreme sampler editor.
-so, he can with few clicks convert all 128 kontakt format instrumetns to giga format at once.
-because both formats are well supported by extreme sampler editor.
-instrumens will sound the same in both formats after converting, because all layers and loop points and other settings are the same ...............

Trosa has done good work with existing GM/ GS sounbank. but because he used a hardware may have missed some sound deltais.becouse of layers and looppoints and other settings.........

a hardware sampling requires more time to get good sounds.

So it is better to use sounds for your GM/GS bank in giga format designed by real sound sampling devolpers. or sounds in giga format created and provided by some manufacturers freely available for download to meet their other sound library. if this sounds are in a format which is recognized by extreme sampler editor or awave studio, with a few clicks you can convert the sounds to giga format.

another advantage on MS/Groove is that you can make the giga GM/GS bank very very bigger then 128 instruments.
