Ensoniq MR61 files

[demicami]

I just recently found my floppy disks with songs that I recorded 20 years ago. I transferred them to my computer so I can convert them to regular song files so I can put them on my iphone or burn them on a cd.

Every song has 3 different files (extensions) - .MFB, .SSN, and .SBK

I need help from someone on the forum to tell me if one of these is the master file and only one that I need to convert to a music file. Or if I need all 3 of these file extensions.

Thank you

Google and E-MU legacy support come up blank on searches.

I'd suggest dumping the files to this utility

http://www.fileformat.info/tool/hexdump.htm

and then studying the Hex output to see if any of them are standard MIDI or SMF files.

Here's a link to the standard MID file format.

Let us know how it works out for you so the next guy with this problem doesn't have to reinvent the wheel.

I think I recall that Ensoniq's file format was proprietary so you may have some difficulty in the conversion. Contact Syntaur for assistance.
