Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Unless someone here has already converted the SysEx files to MIDI 
format, your best bet is to convert them yourself.  I haven't gone 
through this procedure myself, or I'd be happy to spell it out step 
by step for you.  I remember reading *somewhere* that it's a fairly 
simple process of adding some header information (and possibly 
trailer info) to the SysEx file to make a MIDI sequencer recognize 
the file as MIDI information to be "played" (i.e. "sent") by the 
sequencer.  Where did I read that?  It was probably in one of three 
places:  1) the MIDI-OX documentation, 2) the Evolver manual, or 3) 
this Yahoo list.  If I come across it again, I'll let you know.

Anyone else here already familiar with the process of converting a 
SysEx file to MIDI format?

One other idea, Greg... Why don't you just load the SysEx files 
(presets) into your Evolver, then dump them from the Evolver into 
your Roland MC50?  I'm not familiar with the MC50, but it DOES 
*record* MIDI data, right?
