## Motivation
|
||
|
||
If you’ve been producing with the EP-133 (or EP-1320), you already know the frustration: there’s no clear way to export your projects directly into a DAW.
|
||
The official EP Sample Tool only lets you manage samples and backups. That’s it.
|
||
|
||
Sure, you could record MIDI notes or capture audio track by track, but it’s slow, tedious, and not fun.
|
||
|
||
While exploring the backup files generated by EP Sample Tool, I discovered that the device exposes a structured internal filesystem. Projects, notes, settings,
|
||
and other device data are stored in files, while the backup process simply packages this filesystem into an archive.
|
||
|
||
This opened the possibility of accessing and interpreting the device data directly. Since Teenage Engineering does not publish
|
||
the implementation details or source code behind Sample Tool, I began reverse-engineering the file structures and studying
|
||
the application behavior. A significant amount of work went into analyzing file formats and reconstructing the underlying
|
||
logic (AI-assisted analysis proved particularly useful here).
|
||
|
||
Once these pieces were in place, the web application itself became relatively straightforward to build.
