.EDS

📌 An .EDS file structure is typically recognized as a disc image formatted and bundled for an Ensoniq SQ-80 synthesizer, a digital audio workstation (DAW) designed, published, and promoted by Ensoniq in 1987. Precisely, the .EDS file format logic internally maintains data formerly dumped from an original floppy disk, which includes custom effects and sequences. SQ-80 synthesizer owners are granted an opportunity to utilize floppy disks to add and open up custom effects and sequences to the synthesizer line-up. However, users may dump the requested data content from the original disks to the .EDS entries to play their preferential sounds. The SQ-80 sound devices were produced by Ensoniq corporate trademark from 1987 to 1989. The synthesizer has inherited and progressed from former ESQ-1 hardware logic, which became the first synthesizer produced and opened up by Ensoniq brand. The SQ-80 model has implemented floppy drive support for sharing and exchanging sound data, libraries, and effects via floppy disks, more instruments and sounds, and an enhanced .EDS compliant sequencer for better sound processing and production.
