Oberheim Matrix-12 User Manual

5. Press the PLAY button on your cassette machine.
6. Immediately press the START button on the MATRIX-12.
The PAGE 2 LED will go out and the leader tone from the
tape will be heard followed by the data chatter. During this
time, the display will go dark as before.
7. As soon as the MATRIX-12 identifies the Patch on the tape, it
will store it into the selected Patch Number into its memory
and immediately exit the transfer mode. The display will
return to the DATA COMPLETED message if the transfer
was successful. If not, an Error Message will be displayed.

the list of Patches in the CHAIN Sub-Page.

ERRORS
As mentioned before, you may occasionally get an Error Message on the display
after the CHECK CASS or any of the Selective Load functions in FROM
CASS complete their cycles. The MATRIX-12's Cassette interface is intelligent
enough to compensate for wide variations in the cassette player's output level,
speed and phase, but only within limits. If the MATRIX-12 cannot read the tape
properly, an error message will appear on the display.
An Error Message indicates that there is one or more things wrong with the data
itself or that there is a problem- bad connections, poor tape quality, dirty tape
heads in your cassette machine and so forth - that would cause the information
on tape to not load or check property.
While reading the data, the MATRIX-12 examines each Patch in order to verify
its data. If an error is detected in the data for a particular Patch, that Patch will be
ignored and the original Patch in the MATRIX-12fs memory is left undisturbed.
This insures that all Patches are always valid. So even if an error message is
displayed, most of the Patches will load successfully.
The following table lists the possible error messages that will be displayed should
a problem arise during a data transfer:
MEMORY PROTECTED
The MEMORY PROTECT switch on the rear panel is enabled. You
must turn it off to perform any of the FROM CASS functions.
