Hi: i am a complete know-nothing here so please forgive. I have some saved songs on about 10 floppies recorded as sysex dumps on an alesis data disk back in the early 90s. The songs were created on an ensoniq SQ2 which I no longer have. I have an imac now, a keyboard, and a Scarlett interface. I use GarageBand. I am curious about those old files and would like to convert them to midi files that I can open in GarageBand. I am told this borders on impossible but a man named Giebler has software for old PCs running DOS or early Windows to convert them to midi files that are readable by a Mac. Since I’m just puttering, I really I dont want to buy a vintage PC as I suspect that I will not be able to do this even if I do have an old PC —I am not at all savvy about these things.
Do you know of a way to rent old PCs or find someone with an old PC that might do this for me if I buy the software and pay for his/her time? I live in the pacific northwest.
