This function allows you to convert the EL-900 song data to
the XG format data. You can then play back the data using
XG devices and/or personal computer. Depending on the type
of XG devices, sound may be different from the original data
you have created.
The contents to be converted:
Voice (Program) number, Volume, Feet (octave settings), Pan, Vibrato,
Slide (for the Lead voices), Initial Touch, Horizontal Touch, Pitch Bend,
Effects (Tremolo and Delay), Reverb (except for Length), Sustain, Rhythm

Shift (except for Next Song)
To convert the EL-900 data to the XG song data:
1. Insert the disk containing the Electone data into the floppy
disk slot.
2. Select the song to be converted to the XG data.
3. While holding down the bottom right Data Control button
(nothing is displayed in the corresponding section of the
LCD diplay) press the RECORD button in the M.D.R. section.
The following message appears to confirm the operation.
4. Press the Data Control buttons corresponding to [Confirm].
The M.D.R. starts playback of the selected song for you to
decide whether you convert it to the XG data, or not.
After finishing playback the following message appears.
5. Press the Data Control buttons corresponding to [Convert].
After the process of the conversion the LCD returns to the
original display.

page will be added to the top right side of the display. The
converted song (XG data) will be stored on the XG page and
the original song (Electone data) is left as is.

of available memory before trying to convert.
