Introduction

  Check out the MDREliminator it will replace your EL and HX series Electones and the FVX-1 Expander Music Disk Recorder  (MDR ) and bring your Electone or Expander back to life with many advanced Midi features. 

  Keep your Regos and songs safe from those old Floppy Disks and store them with names of your liking on your   Windows  Computer. 

If you have a Floppy disk drive or a 720KB USB Floppy disk drive connected to your computer the program will read decipher and send the original B00's R00's and EVT files to your Electone.

The MDR Blitzer has been added to allows multiple songs to be loaded and then played back. This gives you hours of music to listen to while you are doing less important things - e.g. having dinner. (Blitzer is like a free Wurlitzer).

  What Do I Need?

   An Electone or Expander with Midi In and Midi Out capability,

  A Windows PC or Lap Top and a USB to Midi cable (MidiSport UNO 1x1 recommended).

  MDREliminator has been improved over many years and now includes all the HX-1 upgrade disks and voices.

                        It will also convert your old MDR Floppy files to useable

                                       R00's  B00's and/or EVT Midi Files. 


         What are R00's B00's and EVT's

      R00's and B00's are commonly referred to as 'Regos'.                                                                                                                                                                  They are transmitted as a large Exclusive file and preload the sounds into the Electone. . 

    EVT's are stored music or score data which generally follow the Regos download.

      R00's B00's and EVT files are Yamaha proprietary files and need to be 'decoded' to the                                                                                           Midi standard before being transmitted via Midi.

Goal.

 My goal was to develop a program to replace the MDR and keep the music on the ageing MDRs (FFD's) safe. This "exploded" into a plethora of enhancements and functions - including modifying Midi (.mid) files to play on the Electone.

Hopefully you'll find it entertaining useful and just plain fun.

NB. HX-1 or any Electone scores (*evt) will play on any Electone model but you will need to make your own Rego sounds.

Terminology: 'Sounds' are voices stored in the registrations (Regos) of the Electone and saved as *.R00 or *.B00 files.

Music (Scores) are MIDI files saved as *.evt files

The MDREliminator remains my proprietary property however you are free to use and enjoy it.
