MIDITrack III File Conversion Docs¢¢¢This program will convert MIDITrack III¢sequences to ATARI DOS files. Using it¢you can transfer your sequences via¢modem using standard terminal programs.¢If you have a lot of small sequences¢you can archive several on one disk.¢(If you decide to do this be VERY¢careful. Make sure the sequences will¢reload before destroying originals! I¢have not had any problems yet, but you¢can't be too careful.)¢¢To use the program prepare a disk with¢DOS 2.5 and RAMDISK.COM on it. The DOS¢isn't important, but the ramdisk is!¢Download DOSSQ2.XMO and name it¢AUTORUN.SYS. Also download LIB.XMO and¢name it LIB. The LIB file MUST be on¢the disk or the program will not run!¢¢When you boot the disk a menu will be¢displayed with three options:¢¢ (1) Sequence to file¢ (2) File to sequence¢ (3) Quit¢¢Choose option 1 to convert a MIDITrack¢III sequence to a file. You will then¢be asked for a filename. You MUST¢include the entire filename¢(Dn:Filename.Ext). If you enter a¢filename on D1 the program will assume¢that you have one drive and will prompt¢you for disk swaps. Otherwise you will¢be told to put the source disk in drive¢1 and the destination in the specified¢drive. Hit return to convert the¢sequence. When the conversion is done¢you will be returned to the menu.¢¢Option 2 converts the files back to¢sequences. It works exactly like option¢1.¢¢Option 3 will terminate the program.¢You will see a % prompt. Enter DOS and¢you will be returned to DOS.¢¢Notice that the MIDITrack sequence¢disk ALWAYS goes in drive 1. The file¢disk will be placed in the drive you¢specify with your filename.¢¢The ramdisk is used for intermediate¢storage in both cases, so be sure you¢have a ramdisk installed before running¢the program.¢¢If you have any problems, contact me on¢ATARI8 or MUSICFORUM and I will try to¢help.¢¢NOTE: This program works only with¢ MIDITrack III sequences and¢ requires a 130XE.¢¢ Enjoy!¢¢ Michael Long 72435,35¢SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
