When the
Open ... option from
the File menu or the
button on the Toolbar is selected the following dialog will appear,
allowing a file to be selected.
The File Open dialog on OS X is shown below:
The File Open dialog on Windows is shown below:
sy.factory can open the following file types:
SY factory will automatically detect if a TNN, JNN or KNN file is an SY77 or SY99 format file.
SY factory will automatically detect if SYSEX or MIDI files contain SY77, SY99 or TG77 data, including whether or not the file is a bulk memory dump or an edit buffer file. Note that TG77 voice only dumps will be interpreted as SY77 dumps as the voice structure and SYSEX messages are identical.
sy.factory will read and write SY99 TNN multi-disk sets (TNN/ZNN files). All files have to be in the same directory.
When sy.factory saves TNN/ZNN files, you may find that the resulting files are smaller than the source files, this is because the SY99 memory management of samples is not brilliant, and sy.factory can pack the samples into less space.
If a file selected for opening is already open, sy.factory will ask if you want to replace the file that is in memory.
You can also open DX7/DX7II SYSEX files (if sy.factory is registered). Please read the DX7 Notes Section for information on the conversion process.
If DX7II performances are detected when you open a DX7 SYSEX file, a J02 file is created and a dialog will be displayed to let you know that a J02 file has been created.
