QY70 MIDI Interface
Hey all,

Re: Backing up the QY70
Thanks for your reply! And sorry for my late response to it. I figured out I could use SysEx Librarian to do the backup, which is free! So I chose it over the MDF! It works flawlessly btw.

Re: dirtywave m8

Re: Data Filer for modern Macs? (Monterrey etc)
I¡¯ve had issues using ¡°newer¡± Midi interfaces on old software. It might be possible due to the speed of the interface. If you can, try with an old usb interface. I keep a Generation 1 midisport

Woah, thanks so much for this! Lost a bunch of patterns years back when the coin battery died, so I've wanted a convenient backup method for awhile. Also on Apple Silicon here, so excited to try

Re: Data Filer for modern Macs? (Monterrey etc)
Rocky,
I saw your multiple posts about emulation trying to run the XG Software. Let me share what I have learned through the years.

Re: Yamaha XG Effects
A couple examples of the Yamaha programmed XG guitar tracks at 3'33 and 12'15: https://youtu.be/jH8zfyr1_8M
