Hello,

I use an Ensoniq VFX-SD as a sequencer and sound module and have written over 60 sequenced songs stored on 14 disks and would like to re-arrange them in a more logical order. 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.

I don't envy you the work, but here are a couple possibles:

- if you have a computer and MIDI interface, you can use a simple SysEx librarian program to dump all the sequences to the computer, one by one, and then send them back, one by one, to the keyboard, from which you can then save them to disk again.

- second and much more error-prone alternative, get more disks. Ideally another set of 14. Go through your disks very carefully and write down the sequences on each one. Make up a list of the songs in order, with the disk number noted on each. Begin copying.

- last. Giebler may have something that will let you build disks if you have a PC with a built-in floppy drive, but it won't be free.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
