Yamaha TX7 - Load Operation; Saving and Loading DX7 Voices via Cassette

CASSETTE
OPERATIONS
The 7X7 has a built-in cassette data interface
which
can
be used to
store voice
and function data for later loading
and use. Each time a SAVE or
LOAD
operation is executed,
an entire
set
of 32
voice plus
32
function memories
is either saved to
or loaded into the
TX7 from
the
cassette
tape.
You have the option of
selecting whether
you
save/load the 32
TX7 voices plus
32 TX7 function memories, or the 32 TX7 voices plus 32
DX
function
memories.
Before attempting
a
save,
verify or load operation, make sure the cassette
recorder
used
is properly connected
to
the TX7 as
shown in the
CONNECTIONS
diagram on page
5.

The

accesses
four cassette
functions: "SAVE

These
functions are called in the order

used as
follows.
"SAVE NUMBER
0"
This function allows you to
specify
a
file number
from
to
1 27 for the
voice/function
set to be
saved. The specified number
is recorded
at the beginning of the data
recorded on the cassette,
allowing
specific
files
to
be easily located
on
tapes
containing a
number
of
files. The number of the first file encountered
during
a
LOAD
operation is displayed
on the TX7's
LCD, allowing
you
to verify that the TX7
is
loading the
desired file. Set the SAVE NUMBER using the
N0/-1
and
YES/+1
buttons,
then press the
SAVE/VERIFY
button
again to go on to the

sten
"SAVE FUNC

specify
whether you
want
to
save the
TX7's
function
memory
data
along with the
TX7 voices, or the
DX
function
memory data
with the
TX7
voices.
The options are
"INT",
corresponding
to
the TX7
function
memory set,
and "EXT"
corresponding to
the
DX
function
memory set.
The
selection is
made
using the

Once set,

button
again to
go on to
the

operation
takes about
45
seconds,
afte
