Export Data

ex.factory allows you to export the data in the currently selected file to a variety of different formats.

HTML ...

This option allows you to export a listing of the data in HTML format.

If the file being exported is either an S1A, S1Y or S1M file, the following dialog will appear allowing you to select the features to be exported:

E.g. for an S1Y file you will have the option of exporting Voices and/or Performances.

The saved HTML file contains as a minimum an index to the main listings (e.g. Voices/Performances) in the file, and a section giving information on the file (such as the file type and the number of used and free Elements).

For Voices, Performances and Waves, the tables provide hyperlinks to entries where more detail is provided on the Objects.

XML ...

This option allows you to export a listing of the data in XML format.

If the file being printed is either an S1A, S1Y or S1M file, the following dialog will appear allowing you to select the features to be exported.

E.g. for an S1Y file you will have the option of exporting Voices and/or Performances.

This export option is intended to provide a means of importing EX data into other programmes, e.g. a database.

Cubase Patch Script ...

This option allows you to export a listing of the Voice/Performance data in S1A, S1Y and S1V files in Cubase patch script format. The patch script format exported by ex.factory is compatible with both Cubase VST and Cubase SX/SL/SE.

This allows you to create patch scripts for use within Cubase to ease the selection of patches within the Cubase environment.

Note: There appears to be an EX5 bug which means that you cannot switch between Voice and Performance modes via external MIDI commands. Thus, although exporting an S1A or S1Y file to a patch script provides both Voice and Performance menus within Cubase, you still need to select the right mode on the EX. Shame!

See the Master Patch List dialog documentation for details on how to install patch scripts within Cubase SX.

Protools Patch Script ...

This option allows you to export a listing of the Voice/Performance data in S1A, S1Y and S1V files in Protools patch script format (MIDMAN files).

This allows you to create patch scripts for use within Protools to ease the selection of patches within the Protools environment.

Note: There appears to be an EX5 bug which means that you cannot switch between Voice and Performance modes via external MIDI commands. Thus, although exporting an S1A or S1Y file to a patch script provides both Voice and Performance menus within Protools, you still need to select the right mode on the EX. Shame!

Consult your sequencer documentation for details on how to install the patch scripts within your sequencer.

Sonar Patch Script ...

This option allows you to export a listing of the Voice/Performance data in S1A, S1Y and S1V files in Sonar patch script format (MIDMAN files).

This allows you to create patch scripts for use within Sonar to ease the selection of patches within the Sonar environment.

Note: There appears to be an EX5 bug which means that you cannot switch between Voice and Performance modes via external MIDI commands. Thus, although exporting an S1A or S1Y file to a patch script provides both Voice and Performance menus within Sonar, you still need to select the right mode on the EX. Shame!

Consult your sequencer documentation for details on how to install the patch scripts within your sequencer.

SpreadSheetML ...

This option allows you to export a listing of the data in Microsoft SpreadSheetML format.

If the file being printed is either an S1A, S1Y or S1M file, the following dialog will appear allowing you to select the features to be exported.

E.g. for an S1Y file you will have the option of exporting Voices and/or Performances.

This export option is intended to provide a means of importing EX data into either Microsoft Word or Excel, which is a great way to start documenting your patch collections
