Converting from EL format
You can convert the songs in the floppy disk created with an EL-series Electone, such as
the EL-900, to the DDK-7 format, and save it to a USB flash memory. To use the
floppy disk, you’ll need to install the optional UD-FD01 floppy disk drive. Depending
on the original song, the sound or tempo of the converted song may differ from the
original data, or the Next Song function of the original song may not be effective.
Insert the floppy disk that contains the song you want to convert,
then select the source song.
For details on selecting a song, see page 104.
In the TOOLS Page, press the [CONVERT FROM EL] button to call
up the Convert display.
NOTE
If the source song’s name
contains full size characters
or Japanese characters, the
converted song name will be
shown with question marks
(such as “????”).
