recorded at the right volume and tone and that there are no bad spots on the
tape itself. You'll never know if you have a good data tape unless you check it.
1. Rewind the tape to the point where the data's leader tone just begins. This
is where a tape counter on your recorder comes in handy, especially if you
have several banks of data in a row.
2. Press the PLAY button on your cassette recorder.
3. Press the CHECK CdSSbutton on the MATRIX-12. Again, all three
displays will go out and the leader tone will be heard followed by the data
chatter through the MATRIX-12(s AUDIO OUT jacks.
4. During this time, the display will remain dark and the PAGE 2 button LED
will slowly flash on and off to verify that the CHECK CASS function is in
process.
5. When the process is completed, one of two things will happen. If the tape
is verified, the displays will show...
DATA COMPLETED
PRESS PAGE 2
... and pressing PAGE 2 will return the synthesizer to the CASSETTE
MODE display.
If the tape is found to have one or more things wrong with it, you will get an
"Error Message" on the display.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While the Check function is in process, an error
message may appear unexpectedly during the
transfer. If the message ABORTED appears, the data
transfer routine was stopped before completion. If the
PAGE 2 button is accidentally pressed while the
tape transfer is still in progress, the MATRIX-12 will
interpret this action as a command to quit the CHECK
function. Error Messages are described later in this
section.
Loading from
Tape FROM CASS
The TO CASS function of the MATRIX-12 permits saving the entire
contents of its memory to tape, but in one continuous stream of data. This is
the only way you are able to off-load the data. The FROM CASS parameter
also permits the bulk loading of data from tape into the MATRIX-12 as well, but
you are also provided with six additional ways of loading in data - one SINGLE
Patch only, one MULTI Patch only, all the SINGLES, all the MULTIs, just the
Global information or just the CHAIN.
Called "selective loading", these functions can be used whenever needed
and can really come in handy as they permit the compilation of the needed
data from several different data tapes.
