About the COMMANDS EXPORT [COMMAND/EXIT] Button → Knob 1 to highlight display line 4 → 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 sample 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 setting may not be reproduced as expected. • Stereo samples are exported in a stereo file format. [Operation] 1. Select the Export Type. 2. Select the sample to be exported. 3. Select the destination disk and/or directory. 4.

If Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) is used to execute the command, the export display will be retained so you can continue and perform further export operations.
