How large are the sample sets/patches?

(By the way, Sam "sampling" is when you sample your own material, not when you load someone else's premade patches.)

The professional version of Chicken Systems' Translator software will do a reasonably good job of converting the samples/patches to FantomX format.

They'll probably require some tweaking at that point to get them sounding their best.
