CASSETTE OPERATIONS
Although the RX11 has a considerable amount of internal
storage capacity, a cassette interface has been provided to
facilitate storage of an unlimited number of your original
patterns and songs. The RX11 cassette save and load opera-
tions save and load the entire RX11 memory contents at
once-all patterns and songs. Remember that when you
perform a load operation the entire RX11 memory is re-
written, erasing any data it might contain.
We recommend that you use a cassette player designed
specifically for personal computer data storage. If such a
cassette deck is not available, however, use the highest
quality unit at your disposal. If loading problems are en-
countered, try adjusting the output level control of the
cassette player for optimum results. If the cassette player
used has tone controls, these may need to be adjusted as
well to facilitate loading of the data. In some cases it may
also be necessary to clean and demagnetize the cassette
deck’s reproduction heads.
Before you begin a cassette operation, check that your
cassette recorder is properly connected to the RX11 CAS-
SETTE IN and OUT terminals (see “CONNECTIONS”
section).
Save/Verify
The SAVE/VERIFY button permits access to two functions:
1) Save actually stores the data in the RX11 memory onto
cassette tape, and 2) Verify automatically compares the data
written onto the cassette with that in the RX11 memory
in order to confirm that the data has been properly saved.
To begin any cassette operation, first enter the cassette
control mode by pressing the CASSETTE button while
holding the FUNCTION button. The LCD panel will read
“CASSETTE CONTROL” indicating that the cassette control
mode is active. To save the RX11 memory contents, then
press the SAVE/VERIFY button. The LCD panel will
confirm your intention to save to tape with “SAVE TO
TAPE?”. Press the +1/YES button to continue. The LCD
panel will respond with “SAVE READY?“. This is your
cue to start the cassette recorder running in the record mode.
Once you’ve started the recorder, press the +1/YES button
and the actual save operation will begin. While the data is
being saved the LCD panel will read “SAVE EXECUTING”.
After about 20 seconds, when the save operation has finished,
the display will change to “VERIFY TAPE?“, asking you if
you would like to verify that the save operation was success-
ful (we recommend that you do). At this point you should
stop the cassette recorder. If you respond to the “VERIFY
TAPE?” prompt with –1/NO, the RX11 will return to the
CASSETTE CONTROL mode, from which you can then
exit by pressing the CASSETTE button. If you do wish to
verify the tape, rewind the cassette to the beginning of the
file just saved and press the +1/YES button in response to
the “VERIFY TAPE?” prompt. The LCD panel will respond
with “VERIFY READY?”. Press the +1/YES button and start
the cassette recorder in the playback mode. While the RX11
compares the contents of its memory to the data saved on
the tape, the LCD panel will read “VERIFY EXECUTING”.
