Opcode Studio Vision Pro to .mid file and .wav file conversion

Opcode Vision was the first midi sequencing software for the Mac from 1985 until 1999 and the first software to integrate midi sequencing and digital audio multitracking (Midi sequencer + DAW). We can convert Opcode Vision, Studio Vision Pro, Vision DSP, Vision, EZVision and Musicshop files (including Musicshop for Windows95 .mhp files) into standard midi files (.mid) with .aiff or .wav tracks for use as a modern Pro Tools sessions, Logic Pro .logic file with midi, or GarageBand .band files. We can also convert Galaxy banks and bundles into standard midi files.

We do this by exporting the Vision sequence as a midi file and the audio as .aiff files, send the files to a modern computer, and then importing the files into Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, or GarageBand, insuring proper track alignment, tempo, tempo map, etc. We can also read floppy disk, Zip disks, Jaz disks, SCSI drives and DDS tapes. Also available is the option of playing the midi of your tracks through any of our synths and record it back into the Pro Tools Session as an audio track.

Mac Vision files that have existed on a Windows, Linux, Unix, or Mac OSX file system they should still be fine and the data can still be retrieved. In Mac OS X they may still have their icon (resource fork intact), or if they were on another file system they may appear as "Unix executables." This is because they do not have the dot extension and the resource fork has been stripped out. This is ok, we can still read them.

It is 2024, and yes, we still provide this service, so go ahead and contact us for details.

The last versions of Vision ran on Mac OS 8 and 9. Soon after, Apple released OS X and Macs without serial ports. Since Opcode no longer existed, it did not get ported to Mac OS X.
