.SYX on Floppy?

2012-07-31 by Jonathan

Hello,
I have actually managed to find 2 decent sites with Ensoniq VFX-SD sounds on it!

I only have one further problem - I now can't get these files onto my synthesiser, or so it seems!

It looks like you need a midi card installed in your computer to transfer the .syx files across via midi. Well, I don't have one of these, and in fact there aren't even any computers on the same floor as my synthesiser, so this really isn't practical!

I was wondering if there's any way that you can put these .syx files on a floppy to then read on the synthesiser? I'm sure there must be some way as on the VFX-SD operating system disks it has sound banks on it. All I want to do is put my own sound bank from my computer onto a floppy, so is this possible?

Many Thanks,
Jonathan.
