I don't think it is possible to get this anymore unless you luck out and find someone with a used copy and key they can attempt to transfer to you. A little over a year ago I was able to contact the company (Nexoe) that built it and they said Resampler and YASE are no longer available, period.

It's just a guess on my part, and Nexoe did not confirm this, but I suspect some TM holder (or maybe ethics/laws in their country) forced them to stop distributing it, or the fees to license some aspect of it was no longer feasible....so poof...it got yanked.

Chicken Systems offers a suite of products that are similar:

If you're hoping to automate the process of resampling PC/Mac virtual synths to a format that can be pulled into a Fantom, there are few products out there that claim to assist with that process.

One method is to simply make some MIDI file templates at various intervals/ranges/velocities and sample it in your favorite DAW. Pull the samples into your Fantom, and build the patches there (or with Roland's X Editor).

A few bits of software exist that can attempt to automate the sampling and mapping process, and at least get things into a format you can work with in something like Chicken System's Creator/Translator.

There might be more that I've missed....I personally have NOT tried any of the software mentioned above beyond a quick demo session or two. I didn't work with it enough to offer a good opinion on how well, or easily any of it works.

I have YASE and still use it. The software still works fine but only on Windows. Note I use Windows 7 and cannot verify if it works on Windows 8 or 10.

Here is the link where you can still purchase it if correct.

Jens is the developer of the YASE and RESAMPLER project. He has been fantastic about customer support and providing unlock keys when I change computers. I can still recommend YASE to those who need a computer solution for their Fantom.

With regards to Chicken Systems, Translator works but not as well as YASE. I have Chicken Translator and in fact just purchased the new Beta release of Fantom Creator. The Chicken Systems Fantom Creator software doesn't work at all, so don't waste your money even if it's half price. I can't save anything with the paid version on the Mac.

I'd say wait until Fantom Creator starts working hopefully soon.

Otherwise if you need a solution now, pick up YASE and continue enjoying the Fantom.

Best of luck.

Thanks for your replies.

I have had no luck in contacting the company and the links to purchase are all broken.
