How do you convert Kurz. disk with UVI ?

Post by towerproductions »

Ok here's the claim:
"Legacy formats are also supported: insert your Kurzweil, E-mu or Roland CD-ROMs and convert programs - or even the entire disc - in just a few clicks."

I spent over an hour and more than a few clicks trying to convert a kurzweil Take 6 disk and could not find a way to convert or batch the whole disk with UVI extract. .The only thing I could add in the import column were individual programs which would take all day. Has anyone been able to convert a Kurz disk with a few clicks with programs and mappings intact .Could you please explain the easiest way of doing this as I've read and reread the manual and can't get it to work. With just the kurz disk highlighted I can't get anything out of it.

Thanks,Craig

It will do it. I converted a bunch of mine, but it's been a while, so I don't recall off hand how I did it. If I have time this weekend, I'll play around with it and post back.

I haven't had time to go back and retry the conversions.

But IIRC what I had to do was dump the CD-ROM (using a SCSI CD drive) onto a SCSI hard drive (which was also connected to the Kurz) then convert the files from the SCSI drive to Machfive. I also seem to remember OSX having problems finding some of the Kurz formatted CD-ROM's, and had to use my K2000 to dump the contents onto the hard drive.
