Hello anyone.
I have been attempting to save our band's repertoire of midi files on to a Compact flash media to use in the trition extreme. It has been fraught with difficulties. First I had to find a program that would "clean up" some of the invisible mac files. Now I transfer the midi files, but they don't alphabetize themselves on the media the way they are arranged on my mac. I really need these songs to appear in alphabetical order, but I don't see any way to get the media to sort the songs. I don't understand why the B's are coming before the a's and the c's and D's are all mixed up etc.
Can anyone help?
sorting sequences on compact flash

Just so you don't think no one is paying any attention to your post. I'm looking into this now. I think I might (no guarantees) know some software to achieve this.
If anyone else knows, I'm kind of curious about this myself. I approach how we write and save our music in such a way that I haven't really needed this but, I can see the possibilities.

sorting files for Triton
HI, thanks for your reply. I've been corresponding with a korg user on this, but we haven't figured out a good work around yet. Here is some of the correspondence.
"I put the numbers first and then erased them and put them at the end. I never did it together. I'm going to try again and skip a number. For example, I'll number them 0001, 0002 then I'll skip 0003 and add 0004 and 0005 and then I'll go back and move 0003 to the disc. What I expect will happen is the numbers will go 0001, 0002, 0004, 0005 and then 0003 because the triton recognizes the file in the order that you move them onto the disc, not by any numbering conventions. At least this is what I've found in my experiments so far. I've been fooling around with this by putting 70 or so midi files in one directory and then moving some sequences out into another directory that I'm trying to sort alphabetically.
≥I checked the jukebox out. You can store up to 100 for each set up. It's an option.
I tried what I told you I was going to do and I was right. So.....
I think now I'm going to place all the songs in separate directories by letter and then create a separate directory that houses ALL the files. When I have to add a new song, I'll add it in the separate directory and move all songs in that directory one at a time so they show up in the right order. Then I can move the rest of the songs by selecting all and putting the main directory back together rather than having to move each song again one at a time. I think that's what I'm going to do anyway.
We've been trying a lot of different things. Let me know if you come up with anything.
Thanks again.
