What is a better format for M52 to read - ESX24 or Giga?

Post by David Helpling »

I have some sample sets that have multi-format installers - any format better if I plan on using MachFive 2 for my player?

i find the giga versions are easier to use but i am using loads of EXS. the EXS versions need to find the samples whereas the giga files don't.
i'd say that they work equally as good.
