How can I convert a Fantom-S librarian file to Fantom-X librarian format (or vice versa)?

The only difference between the Fantom-S and Fantom-X librarian files is in file extension (+FSL+ versus +FXL+) and in that the former has a +FantomSLibrarianFile+ string at the beginning of the file, and the latter has +FantomXLibrarianFile+. So you just need to open the librarian file in a binary-safe text editor, substitute this string accordingly and then save with proper extension. E.g., open the SoundBank.FSL, change +FantomSLibrarianFile+ to +FantomXLibrarianFile+, then save this file as SoundBank.FXL. In a UNIX terminal (on Linux or Mac OS X), you can do it very easily simply by issuing the following command line – to convert a Fantom-S librarian to Fantom-X: cat SoundBank.FSL | sed -e “s/FantomS/FantomX/” > SoundBank.FXL …or to convert a Fantom-X librarian file to Fantom-S: cat SoundBank.FXL | sed -e “s/FantomX/FantomS/” > SoundBank.
