I have a Yamaha Midi Data Filer (MDF) 3. This works well for storing MIDI files on floppy disks and playing through the DR 5. I've also done a system dump...
David, I have an MDF 2, the only difference is the MDF 2 doesn't recognize 1.44 discs as 1.44. Yes, the transfer is simple. You just hit "play." You can use...
Hi, I recently purchased a DR-5 from a person on Ebay and it had some problems. I have already been without it for a month and it may be another month before...
Hi I have a DR5. Is there a way to have it play a file of a song like Billy joel or anyone, and have it play through my DR5 using those sounds????? Do I...
Thanks. That sounds easy enough. I've done the transfer (entire SysEx dump) to the MDF 3 but haven't sent it back to the DR 5 yet. I wasn't sure if I would...
Hi, i have a Boss DR-5 and i would like to make some songs...i have checked out the DR-5edit (4.0EV) and it looks like a good program (at least it looks easier...
David, If you have not made any backup copies any place else with your DR-5, and you have songs you don't want to lose, I can understand your hesitancy. There...
Stephen, thx for the quik reply...let's say i got a MIDI file of the internet and i want to use the drums track for that song...can you edit the kit sounds in...
Mark, I'm not always that quick. It's all about timing. The "kit sounds" on the DR-5 are all you get! In other words, MIDI itself has no sounds. It triggers...
Stephen, thanks for all the useful info...you really seem to know your stuff...i have checked out many different drum machines and for the price and for what...
Ok Here is where I am and I hope someone can walk me through the last step (i think the last) I have cakewalk sonar 2 (I never used midi before) I have it...
Stephen, I am a bit confused by your question. Could you explain better: 1)what do you mean by "seeing" the DR5 through MIDI? Are you referring to a particular...

Stephen, Now it made sense. Yes, if your original MIDI file has more than 4 tracks, you have to choose which ones you want stored on the DR5's memory. ...
Thanks Claudio!!! I am going to read that page all weekend before I ask more questions!!! Sometimes it is easier to ask a question and this group seems great...
... I'm not sure myself, but I bought mine in '97 or '98. Some of the documentation says "(c)1994", but I don't know whether or not it came out that early. ...
I am new to the group and have basic familiarity with the DR-5, am impressed with what it can do to say the least (Bought in as-new condition recently for $50...
Zachary, I can't answer all of your questions, but I have recently purchased the MAudio Midisport Uno ($40 US), and can say it works fine with my computer. I...
Stephen, I hope you have fun reading the material and playing with the Dr5 (I haven't turned mine on for ages now!!! It is a snow weekened....I'm getting some...
Hi everybody, subject: aswer to the question of compatibilty of midisport Uno and Dr5 and dr5 edit under xp : that works but: i have had the same problem than...
... No reason I know of that it wouldn't, there is nothing special about the MIDI interface itself on the DR-5. Have you tried it, or are you asking before...
Hi, friends, I want to control my DR-5 from my Behringer V-amp2. I wish that preset 1A starts Song 01 in the DR-5, preset 1B starts Song 02, and so on... But...
