Re: Sounds on Paper...

2005-01-12 by Harry

Hans, 
  I want to thank you for the sounds.  I have been able to lead them
into the VFX via Sysex and it is sure bringing back memories of an
earlier (and much easier) musical time.....it is great.

I have many synths, one being a Roland XP60 with expansion boards in it.
I posted to that group if there was a Sysex converter that would
convert .syx files to .mid files so I could play them back either from
the Roland XP60 or my Yamaha MDF-II MIDI File Player.  One of the guys
in that group sent me a program that does just that.  I was able to
load all of the single sounds I could find into the VFX.  It is really
great to have some of those old sounds back.  It cannot load full
banks though, so I am looking for all of the single .syx sounds I can
find.

Do you know (or anyone else in the group) of a conversion program that
allows for banks of sounds to be converted from a .syx format to a
.mid format?

Additionally, can we load the seqiencer in the same fashion?  Can it
be loaded from Sysex or does it have to be loaded by floppy?  If it
can be loaded from Sysex, can I get a copy of the sequencer OS so I
can try it out?

I will get the floppy fixed when our tax refund check comes, but until
then, I do not mind doing it the old fashioned way.

Thank you again for all of your help,
