Thanks for the reply, and you have to excuse my ignorance, but can you tell me what a Universal Librarian is? Is there a down-loadable application that can read the Ensoniq disk format?

p.s. You can click on the link to our web site to listen to the sequences that I use on the road. www.seequenceband.com

I think you should be able to use a Universal Librarian to arrange these things, if you9;re hooked up to a computer.
Otherwise, the last reply would be the way to go. Another approach, and one that personally use is to just save every song as '60 songs w/programs.' It's not very efficient, but it's really easy, and I always have the program sounds loaded.

I can't seem to find a method to copy and paste a single song to another disk with out over writing an existing song. Please help.
