Searching for specific soundbanks

Searching for specific soundbanks

2008-11-08 by morten_karm

Hi all,

I'mn still searching for the following VFX soundbanks:

- Valhala (It seems to me that they produced two different volumes)

- Sound Source Unlimited SSI-V102 "Super Stage & Studio"
I wrote to Bob Grey - who is selling now SSU products - an he only 
owns a VFX-SD floppy disk version that he e-mailed to me with a 
little program which permits to store it on a VFX-SD formatted disk. 
As I own a VFX non SD model (without internal floppy disk driver), I 
sent it to a friend of mine who is working with a SD model, but he 
didn't succeed in opening this file

- KidNepro: Steve Proto (KNP's manager) physically owns one VFX-SD 
floppy disk (the last one!) with this soundbank stored on it. He 
kindly sent it to me a few years ago in such a way I convert it for 
him in a sysex format. But when my friend tried to open it on his VFX-
SD, a "disk error" message gave it impossible

So, if someone here has the possibility to make a sysex (*.syx), a 
SMF (*.mid), a SoundQuest (*.Pgb) or a SoundDiver (*.lib) version of 
it, it would be great!

Disk error on the SD is not very specific. Sometimes such disks can partly or even wholly recovered using the right SW environment.
I've managed to rescue a disk for someone a while ago. You can also try to educate yourself how it could be done. I've posted all
my tools to the file section.
Let me know if you need any help
Hans

Problem is that I no longer own the KNP floppy disk (I returned it to 
Steve in the past).

That's why I was rather searching now for a sysex version

Move to quarantaine
