looking for newer software that reads Roland .SNG files from MPS for MPU-401

(1/1)

charleshsauer:
I'm trying to get back into doing stuff with MIDI, some with relatively modern software & gear, some with stuff from before the turn of the century. I still have an Ensoniq Mirage, Roland MPU-401 and Roland MPS software that I got in roughly 1986. The Mirage mostly works except for keys in the bottom octave. Yesterday I got the MPU-401 working in a Dell 486/33 and got MPS to send old SNG files that I recorded back then to the Mirage and to more modern interfaces and software. However, this was before things were standardized in 1991, so I'm not sure what instruments were involved, and the recordings mix recognizable parts and mystery parts. (I also used a Yamaha DX-21 and a Yamaha RX-11 back then.) I'm still hoping to figure out how to convert the SNG files directly into standard files. Any suggestions on software newer than 1986 that might be able to process the Roland SNG files?

chrisNova777:
can always use old software

sng2mid from http://www.gnmidi.com freeware (it is a DOS software)

charleshsauer:
Looks like that is specific to Korg SNG and doesn't work for Roland SNG

P:\home\tmp\SNG>sng2midi nearedge.sng nearedge.mid
nearedge.sng is not a korg file

P:\home\tmp\SNG>

Thanks for the pointer, anyway.
