Subject: Reading MIDI files from an Alesis Datadisc into Logic
Message #229193
I've tried, without success, to retrieve my old MIDI files stored on floppies. The floppy drive is an Alesis Datadisc. The midi sequences were created on my old Ensoniq ESQ-1. My MIDI interface is an M-Audio Midisport 8x8. Is it possible to connect the Datadisc to the midisport via midi cable and transfer the midi files? I keep getting "target unit not responding" on the Datadisc. Is there some sort of preparation of a region or track that I need to do? Is this a "file" matter, or can it be done in the arrange page using a region? Do I have to record the midi sequence in real time, or is there a way to transfer the file "offline"? The sequence information in question is usually 8 tracks per sequence. Should I re-load the sequences into the ESQ-1 and send them a track at a time, or actually play back the sequence on the ESQ-1 and record it a track at a time in real time onto a Logic midi track? I've tried all these methods, but I'm not getting the results I want. The closest I got was syncing Logic to the ESQ-1, and playing the sequence into Logic as it recorded. The resulting MIDI region had a lot of glitches, and Logic did not seem to like this at all (I got some weird, angry-looking red data squares appearing off to the side in the matrix editor while transferring). If anyone can help out I would greatly appreciate it.
