Worm Popper Gremlins in the floppy-disk drive of an old Roland XP50!!!

I ask u... What's the point sequencing if u can't save ur song...?
I'm frustrated beyond recognition!!!
The Roland Xp50 has a floppy-disk drive...
...but every new disk I try is dodgy.
It will work ok for a while... but guaranteed after a few days the disk will not load or save any songs. It wilkl just read "unformatted disk" every time I try use it...

This means I've lost several songs, wasted hours of sequencing time... It's the most annoying thing ever.

I'm wondering does anyone here know of a reliable floppy disk to use with an XP50? And indeed has anyone else had problems with an XP50...?

What would be *really* helpful would be any tips on other ways of saving/storing my tracks (without using floppy disks), where they could be loaded back into the Roland and edited...?

Seems like your floppy is fucked.
i'm sure they can be stored on internal memory. Also read your manual and search for a bulkdump, then you can do a dump from your internal memory into your sequencer (cubase, cakewalk, ...) make sure your sysex filter isn't filtering sysex data.

might try buying an floppy disc drive cleaner and seeing if you can clean the heads of the disc drive, or might try seeing if you can find a replacement to replace it with

Thanx 4 the tips...

...Will try cubase (I haven't got Cubase now, but will have in a few weeks time!)

Hope it will bypass that cursed disk drive!
