I have Chromaphone.  The current Content Club offering is an AAS sound pack. I have that sound pack working fine with the included AAS player. I've seen a couple times now in Cakewalk promo emails regarding the AAS sound packs that they are designed so they can also be used in Chromaphone. 

For the life of me, I can't figure out how that sound pack can be imported or opened in Chromaphone.

I know I can go to AAS support to ask, but thought I'd start here in case someone in our group has a tip on this.

Anyone know?

Hi, I'm a Chromophone user. I must admit, I've not bothered with any of the sound packs available, so I can't help you straight away. I haven't got time right now to power up my studio, but as soon as I do I will have a look into this.

cheers

synkrotron - great! Thanks for another vantage point on on this. The AAS Sound Packs have some great sounds by the way. I'm very glad Cakewalk arranged to get us these for an introduction to what AAS has to offer in that regard.

I am not at my DAW but this should get you going. When you unzip the file ther should be both an exe (which includes the player) and another file with a different suffix I can't recall something like .aif? Move it to your desktop. Then in Sonar, open your Aas synth (in this case Chromaphone) and click the menu button at the top left. There should be an option to import.
I own Chromaphone, but opted for an ultra-analog bank this time so that is freshest in my mind. But if I recall correctly Chromaphone is similar enough that this should get you going.

Brando,

That's the type of stuff I've tried. Exactly the process I thought would be available. I just don't see it yet. Please let me know when you're at your machine if you see the actual path to do it.

That's why I'm stumped so far.

Ya it looks like Chromaphone is different from the others and you have to place the banks into a specific path: 
I found this from my Chromazone soundbank purchase read me file - sorry for the confusion. It has been a while since I've downloaded a soundset for Chromaphone-
5 Chromaphone Banks:
CZ Achromatic Percussion 
CZ Chromatic Percussion 
CZ Hybrid Instruments
CZ Synths&Keys
CZ Textures
In order to use the patches inside the Chromaphone Patch Browser place the 5 CZ folders here:
Mac: User (you)/Library/Application Support/Applied Acoustic Systems/Chromaphone/Banks 
Windows: %AppData%\Applied Acoustics Systems\Chromaphone\ 


Looks like there is no import required 


Hope this helps and again sorry for steering you wrong

Brando - thanks I'll try that. Definitely new approach. I was trying to do an add through the UI. I'll post back after the attempt.

Brando - if you have a moment can you follow your own steps and see if you can get one of these sound sets in? 

I followed your directory tips/navigation.  I also discovered if you click the Manage button at the top, and then the show files button at the bottom you get to the same place.

However, the sound set file is a .axf file which doesn't seem to correspond to the banks files. The banks files are files, not directories as you have described. Just in case I created directories with the names you've provided and put the .axf file in the keys&synths directory. 

None of these steps have helped as yet to access the sound set in Chromaphone.  That's where I'm at presently.

I'm sure you probably checked for this, but did the zip file have a read me file? I know the Journeys one did.

Hmmm... I'm struggling to understand this myself and for some reason, on my windows 7 lappy there are certain folders that are denying me access, so I've got some weird things to sort out first.

Sorry
