7. TAPE INTERFACE
The Tape Interface lets you SAVE the contents of both the Pro
gram Memory and the Sequencer data onto cassette tape at
the same time. You can then LOAD either Program data, Se
quencer data, or both from the tape into the EX-800, whenever
desired. The DISPLAY shows up to six different messages
to keep you constantly informed of tape operations and pos
sible problems. Loading is so fast (14 seconds) that you can
even load new data between songs during a performance.
The Tape Interface allows a library of many original sounds
to be easily created and used.
* VERIFY ( )
This is used to check recorded data (after the SAVE proce
dure) to make sure that it is properly recorded on tape.
* CANCEL ( S' )
If an error occurs during the LOAD or VERIFY operations,
the CANCEL button lets you start over again. Pressing
CANCEL during SAVE, LOAD, or VERIFY operations will
immediately cancel the operation.
NOTE:
• The EX-800 and Poly-800 can use the same data.
• MIDI section parameter SS (RCV CH) and 81 (BEND)
data can be saved to tape or loaded to memory; other MIDI
parameter values can not. Parameter 8 S and 81 values remain
the same regardless o f which program number (! !~8S)is
selected.

LOAD SAVE
* SAVE ( •-< )
Press this button to store both Program memory and the
Sequencer data on tape.
* LOAD ( 3 )
Press this button to load recorded Program and/or Se
quencer data back into the EX-800.
After data is LOADED, the previous contents of the Pro
gram memory and/or Sequencer will be erased.
• MIC inputs commonly use either “ mini” or standard
phone type jacks. Use the optional accessory con
necting cord and adaptor (as needed) to connect the
cassette tape recorder.
• The EX-800 Tape Interface is designed to be used
with medium to good quality portable cassette record
ers and cassette tapes. “ Bargain basement” tape
brands will generally causes problems, and “Walk
man” type recorders & micro-cassette units may not
have a sufficiently high output level.
2. Set the tape recorder to the Record mode, and let the
tape advance until the leader tape is past the tape
heads. Then press the recorder’s PAUSE button.
