I am running Logic Express 7.2 on a G5. My question is concerning all the hundreds of songs I have stored "from the old days" on floppy discs. The songs were created on one of the first Atari models using Cubase (at least I think it was Cubase, it was a Steinberg midi-seqenser program). What is the easiest (if any) way to get those songs into Logic? Any help on this, guys and gals? Best Regards Peter from Sweden

First you need some MS-DOS (PC) formatted floppy disks. Atari's and PC's can read these. Save your old Atari Tracks as midi files on these disks. Load them into a PC that has logic, Cubase, whatever. Import the midi file into the sequencer and save it as a midi file. Email it to yourself. Of-course if you don't have a floppy drive, you can buy a USB one very cheaply these days. If you have a dual bootable Mac, you could probably do it all on the same machine. This is all assuming that a PC can still format floppies if you stick a USB drive on it. Good Luck John Adams

Hi Peter, if they were created in Cubase you will probably need to get to a computer with Cubase and a floppy drive, open them, then save them as standart midi-songs (*.mid). After this you should be able to import them to Logic. No warranty, though. maxim
