Atari-Midi Archives

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.

well...I think the best thing to do is to make a project of it, and simply 
run your Atari with Notator into a PC sequencer , lock up the MIDI clocks, 
and simply play Notator into it.

thanks for the tip. i tried that when i first moved to harddisk 
recording on the pc. the result wasn't very accurate, though. 
especially with a lot of traffic coming through it wasn't good at all.

anyway, my ST1040 has been in a box for about five years now and i 
don't wanna go through all the hassle of setting everything up just 
to be disappointed when i've got all the .son and .mid files on a 
disc.
