About the COMMANDS

EXPORT

[COMMAND/EXIT] Button
Press Knob 4
Coverts the selected sample to AIFF or WAV format (audio
wave data formats commonly used on personal computers)
and saves the result to an MS-DOS format floppy disk or hard
disk.
If a sample bank is selected all samples contained in that sam-
ple bank are converted and saved.
After conversion an ".AIF" suffix is appended to AIFF format
files, and a ".WAV" suffix is appended to WAV format files.
• Large samples cannot be exported to multiple floppy disks.
• Most playback settings will be lost when samples are exported.
Thus if an exported sample is re-imported the original sample set-
ting may not be reproduced as expected.
• Stereo samples are exported in a stereo file format.
