Alesis MMT8 tape or sysex to MIDI file conversion service

The Alesis MMT8 was a popular hardware midi sequencer made in the late 80’s. In many ways it was the precursor to Roland’s GrooveBox series with its row of 8 track select/mute buttons and shift-function buttons. It was famously used by Orbital throughout the 90’s in their live shows. They would often stop half way through a set to load the second batch of songs into their multiple MMT8s from tape.
