I haven't heard of Autosampler until now, but this seems like an

Is there
someone who knows more about these formats? Even if it is not
possible to write a sampler engine (it would not be the first
[partly]binary, closed format loaded by open source software) maybe there is
at least a way to get all the needed information to convert/correct them by
hand or individual scripts.
Besides the technical problem there is also a legal problem involved here.
To protect the IP of sample developers the instruments sold by 3rd party
developers are encrypted.
My guess would be that using something like Autosampler to capture a certain
snapshot of a library and convert that into something that your favorite can
read is by far the most promising solution. But of course this depends on
what you're looking for.
