JMC Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Is there an easy way to perform this conversion? Obviously I can convert my SSF's to ASCII using Showport, but is there a similar ETC utility to then convert these to Obssesion format? Cheers.

Stu Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 JMC, I regulary convert between 500 series and Expression 3 by importing the ASCII text file you get from Showport into the Exp 3 offline editor - therefore I imagine there must be a similar facility on the Obsession offline... If you go to http://www.etcconnect.com/downloads.asp and choose Obsession Offline, you can get the download link for the offline editor. Not very specific I know, but might be of some use.

Obviously I can convert my SSF's to ASCII using Showport, but is there a similar ETC utility to then convert these to Obssesion format?I wouldn't say it was easy, but check my post in this thread. It basically involves some find-and-replace in Notepad or a text editor. You just need to reverse the instructions in my old post.Note - since writing that post I have managed to convert from Strand to ETC, using Showport v2.5. So it can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemon Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 The Obsession line is completely different to the Expression range - Exp includes express, insight, and a few others. The Obs is completely incompatible with anything, the offline software has no import feature at all, much less an export feature. It's a huge pain. The Express offline has ascii import/export.

JMC Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Okay, so basically I'm screwed as far as conversion goes... Wonderful... this is going to go down very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Oops! You're absolutely right, daemon. In my hasty scan of the post my brain automatically read 'Expression'... Mea culpa.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsoperator Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Okay, so basically I'm screwed as far as conversion goes... Wonderful... this is going to go down very well.Sorry I was doing a load-in and didn't see this post timely. I have my own software to translate USITT/ASCII to Obsession I or II. I apologize for flogging a paid service, but what you ask about is simply unavailable except from private contractors like myself. See links if interested.
