I am writing some incidental music tracks for a doco DVD. I own an (ageing) Korg X2 Synth. I have sequenced my tracks on this, now I can't find how to get these onto my PC. I would prefer freeware.
I need to convert the files to MP3s which doesn't look a big problem except that I think the files on the X2 sequencer are SNG files. Also the X2 is so ancient it only takes floppies and its own special cards, not CDs or SD cards.
I don't own any recording /sequencing software, sound libraries or a recording interface yet, but I think I have a pretty good sound card & reasonably uptodate PC, so just wanting to find the simplest cheapest way to load my X2 sequences digitally so I can produce MP3 files. If necessary I may have to use sounds off software rather than the X2 keyboard, or maybe even resequence all my tracks on a software sequencer, but I would want to do this by playing my X2 as a controller. (Not step time or 'qwerty keyboard' recording).
As you can probably tell I am not hugely computer or sound engineering literate. Done a lot of searching on the net but still more confused than ever.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Many thanks!
ps I'm in Brisbane Australia so don't want to have to order stuff that would need to be shipped from the U.S.
