KORG_Read_DS8syx

Reader of SysEx-files (*.syx) for the old 4-Op FM-Synth Korg DS-8

GitHub GitHub release (latest by date) Github All Releases Follow

Project started in jun.2012, when I had problems with my old synth.
In the early days of MIDI, System-Exclusive-Data (Sys-Ex/syx) was the only way to share sounds between different synths, at least of the same synth model.
Roland corp defined the midi protocol in the 80ies. But it's kinda hard to read all bits in the right order. Until now I do not know if every bit will be read correctly. So the program never made it to a syx-writer, but anyway, it helped me to solve my DS-8-problems, to see whats inside a syx-file, to distinguish between different sounds and to spot the differences betweeen the sounds at one glance.
If you love vintage gear like I do, you could take this little project as a starting point for your own ideas.
