Mirage to .wav conversion software util ?   Message List

Re: Mirage to .wav conversion software util ?

Mdisk  does this to and from PC without hassle, as well as the usual disk image transfer. Here is an excerpt from the instructions(props to Gordon for the new program for direct MIDI transfer!):



Extract Wave:         mdisk extract -t wav:l1 -o myfile.wav
Save Wave:            mdisk save -t wav:l1 -i myfile.wav

When extracting or saving .wav files remember the basic L1, L2, L3, / U1, U2, U3 Mirage disk structure. See it says> wav:l1 where L1 could be U2, or L3 and so on...). You can only extract or save one keyboard half at a time(64k).

NOTE: The maximum number of bytes that a Mirage sound can store is 64K.  If you try to save a .WAV file longer than this, mdisk will save only the first 64 KB. It must also be 8-bit Mono.
