Translator - building EMU banks in the PC

Hello forum! New member from Sweden here, I'm a 26 year old drum'n'bass producer from Sweden.

I'm about to attempt the trickery of building an EMU bank in my PC, then burn it on a CD and finally reading it into the EMUs ram via my SCSI CD-reader.

I have ChickenSys Translator and I will use that for this operation, but does anyone know what the best way is to actually build the presets before I move them to the EMU virtual image via Translator? Can I build them in Translator or do I want to build them in another software sampler like Kontakt? Is that even possible; can Kontakt export any useful formats that Translator can transform into an EMU bank?

I never got the EMU virtual drive image to work with the EMU ultra. So i always create an akai image and burn that to CD for the EMU to read.

If you can get the EMU image to work with a Ultra sampler let me know.

Thanks

(I'm working with an EMU E64.)

Had no problems writing just a few samples to an EMU virtual image, burning that to a CD-RW and then reading it in the EMU. Haven't tried with a real preset though; since I don't have any way of building one except in the sampler. ;) By saving the preset data to floppy I am saved though, so this feels good! CD for sample data, floppy for preset data. Should work, no?
