Korg EX-800 - Loading Data into the EX-800

You may also try changing the setting of the FROM
TAPE “ HIGH/LOW” switch.
When you find settings that work, write them down
for future reference.
If the “Verify” message is still displayed 15 seconds af
ter starting playback, either the recorder level is too low
or there is a problem with the cables.
• Press the CANCEL button, set the recorder Volume
somewhat higher, and repeat the VERIFY procedure
from step 2.
Connect EX-800 rear panel FROM TAPE jack to the tape
recorder output jack (EARPHONE or LINE OUT). Set
FROM TAPE switch to HIGH (earphone) or LOW (line
out), according to type of recorder output jack used.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• YOU WILL NOT GET A “GOOD” MESSAGE IF THE TAPE
DATA IS DIFFERENT IN ANY WAY FROM THE DATA
IN THE EX-800, even if VERIFY has been performed
properly and all settings are fine. This is because the VERI
FY procedure checks to make sure that the Program and
Sequencer data on the tape MATCHES the data in the
EX-800 memory.
• THINGS TO TRY if you repeat the VERIFY procedure
several times and still do not get a “Good” indication:
* repeat the SAVE procedure using different recording lev
els. When you find a level that works, WRITE IT DOWN
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
* try a different, higher quality brand of tape.
* make sure that the heads of your tape recorder are clean
and demagnetized.
* try a different tape recorder
* check your batteries and AC adaptor. The Tape Interface
may not work reliably with low batteries, with other than
the recommended KORG AC adaptor, or at low line
voltages.

back into the EX-800:

NOTE:
LOADING data from tape ERASES the corresponding data
previously in the EX-800.

during VERIFY.)

ENABLE position.
5. Select whether Program data, Sequencer data or both
will be loaded.

WRITE switch to the ENABLE position.
