MEMORY
CARTRIDGE
The
Memory
Cartridge
M-64
is an
optional
extra
whicli
will save
and
load
data
instantly
instead
of
using
a
tape
recorder.
It
acts
as
additional
mennory
to
enable
three
times
more
capacity
of
Tracks
to
be
held by
the
Composer
at
any
one
time.
When
many
tracks
are
needed
during a
live
performance,
new
tracks
can
be
loaded
into
the
Composer
during
a
break
or
intermission,
after
the old
ones
have
been
performed.
Memory
Cartridge
also
permits
the
safe
storage
of data
which
might
otherwise
be
lost
through
being
accidentally
written
over.

may
consider
the
internal
memory
of
the
com-
poser
as
Bank
1
,
the

Cartridge as

The
data
in
the

can
be
used
in
exactly
the
same
way as

the
data
in
the
Composer's
internal
memory.
Just
note
that
to
save
the
data
in
the
cartridge
onto a
tape,
it
should
be
loaded
from
the
cartridge
into
the
composer
then
saved
onto a
tape,
and
vice-versa.
