OK, thanks. I still have my old faithful 4Mb ST.

If you let me know which of the Atari editor/librarian formats seem odd, I'll see if I've got any relevant notes from when I was using them.Latest news ... I got some files from Clive in various flavours, that came from Atari based patch librarians such as GenEdit and Synthworks. Whilst some of them just appear to be the raw sysex with headers and trailers and possibly easily converted, some of them are not easy to read.

Thanks,

I still have Word on floppy for Mac SE and System 6.Tomcat wrote:Oh for the good old days when a very good program would fit on ONE floppy!
I've now downloaded and installed the "Steem" Atari ST Emulator. I tried running Genpatch, but the original is on a copy-protected floppy; if the software doesn't find an original disk, it runs in a cut-down trial mode. I tried four different programs to create "disk images" from the floppy, but none was accepted by Genpatch as an original disk. So I wouldn't be able to use that particular program for the method suggested above - shame. Also, I've got five Steinberg Atari programs, including Synthworks M1, that all use dongles for copy protection, so of course they won't work either.Daz wrote:... I had wondered whether the easiest way to convert these files [from Atari patch librarian s/w] was simply to run the software in the [Steem Atari ST] emulator and ask it to transmit the MIDI data and just capture it on the PC. You can assign any MIDI port on your PC to be the Atari's built in port ... so you could send data to MIDI Yoke and capture the results in MIDI OX for example.
