Export Functions
This function allows you to save an ESI bank so that it can be read by a
predecessor of the ESI. If the bank you are trying to save exceeds 8 MB,
or has more then 100 presets or 100 samples, you will not be allowed to
save as an EIII bank. The three export options are as follows.
0 Save as v2.10 Bank: Allows you to save 3.00 banks (this version) as
2.10 banks in order to remain compatible with older ESI's or EIV
family samplers using EOS software below 3.00.
1 Save as E3 Bank: Allows you to save an ESI bank in the original
EIII bank format so that it can be read by an EIII (The EIII is a
predecessor of the ESI). If the bank exceeds 8 MB or has more than
100 presets or 100 samples, you will not be allowed to save as an
EIII bank.
2 Save as v1.04 Floppy: Allows you to save 3.00 banks (this version)
as 1.04 banks in order to remain compatible with older ESI's. Banks
created in version 1.04 format must first be loaded into a v3.00
system, and then saved into v3.00 format before samples and presets
can be loaded.
