hi, everybody, this question seems kind of old school but i'm hoping some cats might have some knowledge on the subject.

I just got given a whole bunch of sounds for my Novation Bassstation in the form of .syx files. If my computer had a midi out, i would be able to load these directly from my computer to my Synth. But

My computer doesn't have midi out.

So i thought i might be able to save these files to my MPC and then send them that way. But my MPC doesn't really cooperate with that idea. What i really need to be able to do is get them onto sequences as "exclusive data" or something right?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Peace out

Try renaming the files to .mid

From what I remember .syx files are really just standard midi files but with the different extension. It's been a while since I've had to use these though but give it a try and I think it should work.

Good luck,

Jesse
