EXL files from Korg i4s
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2021 3:52 pm
Hi there,
I've got a few .EXL files containing music I wrote, somehow imported onto an i4s, and then exported onto disk back in the 90s. It wasn't my keyboard, so I don't really remember the mechanics of how we got the MIDI data in/out (was there some sort of built-in sequencer?)
At any rate, I'd love to hear this music again — whether this means getting my hands on the MIDI data and reconstructing with different sounds, or rendering a recording out of an old Korg.
So I guess I've got two major questions:
1) Does anyone know what what other Korgs (if any) might be Sysex-compatible with the i4s? I was thinking of picking up something on eBay or Reverb, doing the conversion I need, then reselling, but pickings seem to be slim.
2) Would anyone who has one of these keyboards be interested in a gig doing the conversion? There's one 10 KB EXL file that I care about the most, but there are a couple dozen other files whose contents I'm curious about if the price is right. If this is something you could do, please PM me!
Thanks!
