.son files - invented by the devil ?

2004-03-25 by hammersteen

importing atari creator files into cakewalk on the pc is not very 
difficult. i saved my patterns as standard midi files and that's 
basically it.

however the problem is that i had complex arrangements on my atari. 
there are patterns all over the place and it's a nightmare to 
recreate them on the pc. but all this information is stored in 
the .son files.

i believe from what i've read the only program capable of 
reading .son files is emagic logic.

i don't own that software, can't find a demo etc. so that's not an 
option. if i had a .son file format spec i could maybe work out 
what's going on but i can't find one anywhere either.

i can't believe i'm the only one with this problem. but having looked 
all over the internet i'm beginning to think i am.
