Thanks for your feedback ! :D
hi jeff

I have a little problem that recognizes Ensoniq if not the virtual floppy is changed. I can work around the problem only if I break the 5volt circuit, and thus recognizes new floppy to able to load.
My question would be whether perhaps be simulated by software or firmware?

thx, best regards

Try to change the interface mode in the "Settings" before export/convert hfe files. Try the Mode "IBM PC 1.44MB" or "IBM PC 720KB"

(Note : a small software update "1.3.9.1" that correct a "bug" in the convert function : https://hxc2001.com/floppy_drive_emulat ... r_soft.zip )

hi jeff

little problem, i made the firmwareupdate to 1.3.0.0 and hxcsoftwareupdates and now some images of my ede. files will not work, the first boot/system ede.hfe file of my ensoniq works but than the ensoniq does not recognize exchanged ede.hfe files. a backup from my old files with amaiga/atari settings will work, some time he recognizes but also no change from hfe files, what i was doing wrong.

ps: one please, it would be nice when the efe. format "samples" are supportet.

thanks in advance, best regards

Hi,

Can try this software version to convert your ede files ?:

https://hxc2001.com/floppy_drive_emulat ... t_beta.zip



And for the disk change problem can you try this ? :
to change a disk -> eject the actual floppy disk -> wait 4 seconds -> then insert the new one.

hello

unfortunately it does not work, but with preferences setting "amigaHD DS0" he recognizes all files and diskchanges but it do not load the files it brings the error message. but I think we are on the right path :)

http://www.ensoniqsamplers.com/epsasr/022.html

"The EPS/VFX/SD series of instruments use the "Shugart" type and is not made anymore. Right now many people are having their floppy drives break, only to have no recourse on replacement parts, even from Ensoniq."

shutgart settings work unfortunately not, perhaps is that the error?

thank you and a nice weekend, thomas

hi jeff

good news, it works. now with shutgart ds0 setting, the ensoniq recognizes all files on disk and load than, also diskchanges now working trouble free. i'm still tests whether funktions like format,copy and save will work.

if it allows your time, it would be cool if the ensoniqs efe. format import would still work, efe. is only for samples like wav. on windows but ede. for complete programs which means samples, effects and songs include configurations.

thank you very much, thomas
