I think it would be good to add AKP file loading support to Renoise.
AKP is somehow similar to XRNI because it differentiates ‘sample’ files from ‘instrument file’ in directory structure (XRNI is zipped, AKP is not) so I probably there would be no significant problem with that.
There is a lot of professional sound kits in AKP format and it is cumbersome to manually load waves and map all the notes.
If there is no other way I can write some converting utility (AKP->XRNI) and even publish source code but I was thinking if there is a chance that such a feature could be integrated in Renoise.
Hmmm, that is true…but lack of multilayering is another problem . Actually I switched to Renoise from Skale and I miss it very much.
Anyhow, It would be nice to hear that AKP will be available sometime.
