Help with an old old host - Cubasis

[anzoid]

Looking for some help with some very old files that I've just discovered on a DVD in the attic. They're old Cubasis VST .all files that I would like to 'rescue' to MIDI if that is at all possible.

I'm guessing/hoping that maybe a modern version of Cubase would be able to open them. They're the only files of have of my first ever song writing efforts from back in 2005 - didn't think about things like portability in those days.

Ayy help that any KVRers might be able to offer would be very gratefully accepted. Suggestions for conversion programs also welcome

Sample .all files available on request

Maybe the same disks also still have CuBasis program files backed up? Open the project and export to midi...

You can open/convert them using cubase up to sx3 version. I did it a few time years ago, I had mixed results (because of old plugins) but midi was perfect. If you have a more recent version of cubase, just grab the sx3 (or sl3, depending on which version of cubase you have) from Steinberg's ftp and you're done.


If you don't have a Cubase license or you get into troubles at the conversion stage with cubase, send me a pm as I still have the original cubasis vst 3 and 5 install disks and I think I could convert the songs for you (if they are not too many) or give you remote access to my old pc (right now it's somewhere in my storage room, but I think it still works... somehow...) so you can do the task by yourself.

Thanks for the suggestion

Now been all over the Steinberg FTP site (they're going to be wondering what's going on...) but the files mentioned in that forum thread require you to have a Cubase license already. There was a demo of Cubasis 3.7 but my stuff was done in 5.0

Apparently SX3 might be able to do the conversion but I doubt there's many people who still have a copy installed these days.

Currently, a Cubase license allows you tu run all the old versions. Maybe SX3 would work with the Cubase demo's license too, as it's fully functional during a month. You need a dongle, though.
