2) Does SMac
allow creating an image?
Yes. You can use <Roland_2_SAM>
There are some restrictions....
I just tried it on my G5 under Classic, and it won't work with my
Imation Superdrive. (My link to the past)
I have all the necessary extensions - could be a problem with OSX and
720k disks.
So, I tried on my Powerbook running OS9.1 and it works just fine (as always).
If so, make one, and then put that image file
(give it a .img, .nrg,
.iso, .dmg, or .toast extension) in a folder called Images in the
Native Instruments folder in Application Support in Library. Kontakt
2 may see it then.
I tried this (I only the the demo of Kontakt 2) and can't load.
Import does not work on the demo.
I wrote the conversion routines in Kontakt 2 and
deliberately
included support for all types of Roland S-50/550/7x formats,
including floppy images. If you find ones that don't work or exhibit
problems, let me know.
I'll e-mail you a file privately...
Thanks, it works, here's what you do: just add a ".out" extension to the
file name. K2's browser will then see it. Dragging the file simply loads
the first Patch located in the image, from there you can resave it. Using
the IMPORT button enables you to create all the K2 files for later loading.
The .out comes from the SDisk stuff, which is more common. Colin, what is
the file typing (creator code and file type) of these files on a Mac? I can
add that to the next KConvert version so the .out isn't necessary to add.
