The cassette format of the OX codes the
locaon of each Sequence and Song, which
allows an individual sequence or Song to be loaded from a tape. The
casstte inter-
face does not write an individual sequence onto the tape, but can read a single
sequence from the entire cassette.
Loading a single Sequence or Song is the

loading aU of the data except that
you press LOAD ONE. The left side of the display will show the sequence to be loaded
from tape. Use the keypad to enter the desired Sequence number. To load from a
Song, press

LOAD ONE again. The right side of the display will now show the destination for the
tape sequence. Use the keypad to enter the desired Sequence number. Press LOAD
ONE again
, and the display will go dark and the DX wil wait
tor
