We HIGHLY RECOMMEND making images and not dealing with floppy disks directly.įloppy Images are treated as Bank file formats - ones that handle multiple Programs that reference a pool of Samples. Translator 6 supports reading floppy disks, however only on Windows, and the support for it is mainly creating images and not reading the material. Regardless, all you have to know is that every Floppy Image represents a floppy disk. There's many ways of creating them, over the years, but most of them come from Windows and courtesy of a replacement floppy drive name OmniFlop. Floppy Images are now handled in the general area, under any normal folder or drive.įloppy Images mostly come from the floppy disks themselves. Virtual Drives are now defined as anything greater than 5mb, and are located only via the Images folders and listed under the Virtual Drives section of the Container Pane. The reason for the treatment is the huge explosion of interest in vintage samplers that only work with floppies, and that floppy emulators such as the Gotek have allowed massive access to these samplers.įloppy Images are now handled completely separately from Virtual Drives. Although floppies and floppy images have been support since the beginning, Translator now defines floppy images as a very specific object. Starting with Translator™ 7.1 and Translator™ 6.2, we have introduced the concept of Floppy Images.
