This don't works because the ensoniq use sector id "0". I need to add this support in the software.

Where i can found some file images ? how do you load the file image in the software (did you use the "load raw image" function "?).

hello jeff

have some files with "load raw" fm and mfm settings tried, but always stopped from track 1. that would be great if it's working here are some images,

ensoniq eps 16 format .efe, rawread format and an image made by omniflop of ensoniq os1.30

New software release: in the load raw menu a new parameter was added.
For example with ensoniqOS.img (819200 bytes) use these parameters :

Sector per track = 10
Sector ID start = 0
GAP3 lenght = 40

For 737280 byte file images:
Sector per track = 9
Sector ID start = 0

For *.ede files i need a description of this format to add a direct support in the software.

Update : the EDE file format is now supported;-).

Please give me a feedback.

hi jeff

i am so happy, the load of .ede eps16+ os works fine. import the the. img files (samples, sequences an effects) via "load raw" work but only the load of instruments "samples", sequences and effects do not work with .ede unfortunately.

anyway, great support, it is a real enrichment for all ensoniq synthesizer/sampler users and the market of floppy dependent instruments maybe also lucrative and above all necessary there is no affordable alternative.

I'll also make a youtube video of the korg dss-1 and try to create some pictures.

thank you very much for your help, best regards thomas

The error was on my side, sorry. I have tried to load a .efe file. i am also read out floppy with sounds on it, I realized that this floppys .efa or .efe endings had. but these files can I use in omniflop. img convert and import with load raw option.

able to find these infosabout .efe: http://thoralt.ehecht.com/download/efe.txt and here: http://www.thoralt.de/download/Ensoniq_ ... Format.pdf

sorry for my errors, I was too euphoric to watch closely on the file extension. big thanks, thomas

So all is working as expected (ede and raw loading) ?

yes, raw and ede are working. only recognizes the ensoniq not a change of the "floppy" file and must change manual the mode between ds0 amiga, atari st, amstard and msx 2 so that the ensoniq recognizes as a new floppy can be loaded.

This probably due to a bad setting (select line and/or floppy interface mode). do you have the schematic of the EPS-16 ?


Regarding the efe file format, it seems that this is not a floppy image, but a file image. So i need to rebuild the full eps-16 filesystem and add this file on this fs. Are there some pc conversion utility (efe->floppy, or efe->ede) that does this work?

The Panasonic JU-257A - 303P http://beitegeuze.com/fd.jpg
should be Shugart, but the settings in HxC do not work as Shugart only as amiga, atari or mcx 2. the jumper settings of the original drive are ds0, ms, ry and ex, but i dont know for what is possible.

unfortunately i can not find under xp a runnable efe to ede converter, efe an efa files are audio samples files with data of tune, loop ... and the types of instruments. .efe for eps 16 and .efa for ASR 10.
perhaps you will find here information: http://thoralt.ehecht.com/ensoniq.html[/img]

first test with the SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator on my old Ensoniq EPS16+ sampler. works great!
