.EDA File Extension

Ensoniq released the ASR in 1992 and continued manufacturing it until 1998. It followed the Ensoniq EPS and Ensoniq EPS-16+ samplers and included a floppy drive.

Users could add sounds, presets, and songs to the sampler via floppy disks and share sounds with other users that they created with the ASR. While Ensoniq no longer produces the sampler, some music enthusiasts dump the data from the floppy disks and save them in the EDA format. Then, they play the EDA files or convert them to other file types with software.

You can open an EDA file with Chicken Systems Ensoniq Disk Tools in Windows.

Ensoniq Disk Tools and Chicken Systems Translator can convert EDA files to several formats. For example, Ensoniq Disk Tools can convert EDA files to the following file types:

• .WAV - WAVE Audio File
• .MIDI - MIDI Music Data
• .SMF - Standard MIDI File
• .AIFF - Audio Interchange File Format
