Export
This function allows you to export a sequence as an EIV bank or as a Standard MIDI File. Standard MIDI Files or SMFs are compatible with most computer-based sequencers. EOS uses the MS-DOS format on its floppy disks to facilitate easy file transfers between either IBM or Apple computers.
Exporting a sequence as an EIV bank allows you to transfer sequences between two EOS machines and also allows you to combine sequences from different banks.
v To Export a Sequence:
1.From the Sequence Manage menu, select the sequence you wish to export using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.
2.Press the Export function key (F5). The pop up dialog box shown above appears.
3.Select the destination for the exported sequence by using the cursor keys to select the field and the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys to change the selection. If you are exporting to a floppy disk, insert a DOS formatted disk into the drive.
4.Select either MIDI (Standard MIDI File) or EIV as the file type.
5.Press OK to export the sequence or Cancel to cancel the operation.
