Title: Unlocking SAR files
Post by: Key 1 on August 27, 2018, 07:52:04 AM

Hi Everyone,
I have a Trumpet voice as an "SAR" file & wish to unlock it.
I don't have the software on my computer as yet,  but what is the most suitable software to download,  & will it be safe on my computer.

Regards

Alan

SAR Voice is a super articulated voice and should play without converting. Depending on your model keyboard of course.

What do you mean by "unlock" it?

Voice files are actually Standard MIDI files (SMF) in disguise. Rename the SAR file; change the "sar" to "mid" and load the renamed file into a DAW or other MIDI editor.

Hope this helps out -- pj

Dick  -  You're correct.  I loaded in my T4 & it plays as you said.

Derek  -  I thought it would need unlocking similar to a Zip file.

pjd  -  I haven't tried as you suggest,  but I will shortly.

Many thanks to you all for your help.

Regards

Alan
