Members augerinn Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 I sold one of these a while ago, and now I'm regretting it. Is there anything else that will send and recieve sysex and is rack mountable, and also playback MIDI sequences ? I'm wondering if I could just use my K2000, it has a floppy..... Once I get my set list up and programmed into all my synths, I'll back it up to PC, but I don't want to drag my PC around with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TechEverlasting Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 Unfortunately I've never been able to get the sequencer on any of the Kurzweil K2s to function as a sysex librarian and I've never heard of anyone getting this to work.

Members The Real MC Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 Nope, no rackmount datadisk equivalent out there. I still have mine, my only complaint is the limited space of the floppy disk. If someone made a rackmount datadisk today that used USB thumbdrives in place of the floppy drive, that would be a hit product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Pro Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just FYI: the reason the DD was discontinued was because Sony stopped making the disk drive in it and Alesis didn't feel that sales justified rewriting the code for another drive. So if/when the disk drive dies in your Datadisk, it's unrepairable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if/when the disk drive dies in your Datadisk, it's unrepairable. If you are referring to the floppy drive, that's not so. The floppy drive in my DD died and I replace it with a $15 drive from CompUSA...it's been working perfectly for several years.FWIW, Ensoniq SD1's (and, I assume, VFX-SD's and TS-series) can act as sys-ex data filers....

Members renegadebliss Posted November 29, 2008 Members Share Posted November 29, 2008 New version of Midibox Seq will include ability to send and recieve synth patches via Sysex and will store then on an SD: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=2656856f0e739ac746cf2b384d119eba&topic=12186.0 Of course, your going to have to solder it yourself...
