Converting Studio Vision Files To Os X, How do I save all my old recordings? Options

[rafisaar]

Planning to make the move from my PowerMac 8600 to a new G5, I sadly have to leave Opcode's Studio Vision Pro.
The big question is: how do I transfer all my Vision sequences with linked audio files so that I'll be able to reopen them in Logic (for example) in OS X on the G5?

I have some idea, but it seems like a lot of work and I was wondering if some easier way existed and for that I need the help from the experts of this forum.

What I'm planning on doing is:
1) convert all the sequences to standard MIDI files (will the patch changes be kept?)
2) mix all the audio parts per track into a single new audio file which starts at the beginning of the sequence (even if it includes just silence) - that way I don't have to record which file starts at what exact point into the song and when I import the audio into the new file I know it always starts right at the beginning

So this seems like a lot of work for all the sequences I have, and I do want to have the ability to make future edits to these songs.
Is there a way to make this easier?
Is there some conversion tool?
Maybe Logic can immediately open Studio Vision files???
And what about the patch names. Now I use Opcode's Galaxy. Will Logic read my current patches?

Thanks in advance!
(I'll have some hardware questions, but those are for the future )

Hi Rafi, try the Opcode List, I don't know the url off hand, but there are many Vision users who could probably give you advice on how to proceed. Try a search for the Vision Info Site as well, there might be some info there. Hope this helps.
