How can I load Mark 6/8/10/110 songs into another sequencer or instrument?

The Mark 6,8,10, & 110 save songs in our own .SNG format, which can not be read by other sequencers. It does not have the ability to export songs in the .MID format. However, we have designed a PC program which will convert .SNG files to .MID format. You can download a Windows version. Some users apparently have problems with the Windows version, which we believe is cause by some type of conflict with other files in their system, but have not been able to identify. If you have problems with the Windows version, you can download a DOS version, which seems to work for just about everyone.

For Mac users, sorry, but we do not have a Mac version. However, you can still get the song into an external sequencer by recording from one sequencer to another in real time. To do this:

First set the Kurzweil to Transmit Sequence Data by holding the MIDI Button and striking G#5 on the keyboard, as shown on page 45 of the manual. On the external sequencer, set it to sync to an External Clock. Set up the tracks on the external sequencer to match all the channels being used on the Kurzweil sequence and make sure it is set to Multi-Record. (This will allow you to record multiple channels of information in one pass. If the sequencer can’t do this, you will have to make one pass for each MIDI channel.) Then press Record on the external sequencer and Play on the Kurzweil. The data will be recorded in real time.
