Once organs started working with SMF's most of the proprietary formatting went out of the window and disks were DOS formatted. The 8-character limit is a minor issue for me. My older Technics pianos (SX-PR600 and SX-PR604) will not swap proprietary files with each other, but will transfer MIDI files with each other following the procedures outlined above. Certain characters are not allowed in that format that are now allowed in filenames. NOTE: When formatting a disk in FAT or FAT32, you're limited to 8 characters for the disk name, and the name is generally limited to numbers and letters. To get MIDI or Orla's proprietary files from your computer to the keyboard, simply copy them in reverse-noting that the Orla may have a proprietary method of keeping track of the files to display them. To transfer from the organ to PC or vice-versa, simply load the file you created on the Orla into the keyboard's memory from your current disk, then save it onto the newly formatted FAT or FAT32 disk to transfer to your laptop. Your laptop (PC or Mac) should be able to read a FAT or FAT32 formatted floppy. You should probably format the floppy disk as FAT32 or FAT formatting and then try to save the file from the Orla to the disk. Today's PCs use NTSC as their default formatting, which is not recognized by older music technology. I'm not familiar with Orla, but I am familiar with PCs. If I format a disk in the drive, it is not recognised by my laptop and vice versa.Alan, I have an Orla GT9000DLX2 with a floppy drive.
