Re: [DTXpress] Midi Help

2005-02-15 by S-E-A

Sadly the modules sequencer memory seems somewhat limited, as you've found
your lucky if you can hold a song in it.

If your looking for something portable to playback the MIDI files (away from
the PC):
Occasionally on ebay a Yamaha MDF 2/3 data filer will appear. These can be
used for SMF type 0 playback, as well as sysex datafilers. It also uses
standard PC DOS 3.5" disks. (NB the MDF 2 uses DSDD, I think the MDF 3 can
use HD type disks)

You'll also find that the files will sound more 'cheesy' than normal - the
DTX modules don't have in-built chorus, so synth, and string patches will
sound rather thin.
