Yamaha DX21 - Manual (Page 21)

A14: CASSETTE LOAD
This function loads a complete set of 32 voices from cassette tape into the DX21
RAM voice memory. Before using this function make sure that all cassette con-
nections have been properly made, as described in
CHAPTER I:
SETTING UP.
Also make sure that the DX21 MEMORY PROTECT function (A16) is OFF.
When this function is initially called the LCD will read “Load from Tape ?". Confirm
your intention to load a complete set of 32 voices from cassette tape into the RAM
voice memory (remember, this will erase any voices previously in the RAM memory)
by pressing the DATA ENTRY YES button. The LCD will now read “from Tape to
Mem, all ready ?". At this point make sure the appropriate cassette tape is loadeed
into the recorder and is rewound to the beginning of the desired voice file. To execute
the load operation press the DATA ENTRY YES button again and start the cassette
recorder running in the PLAY mode. Pressing another function button, a PLAY
mode button or the EDIT mode button prior to the final step in the above process
will abort the CASSETTE LOAD function. The DX21 will indicate each voice on
the LCD as it is loaded. When the load function is completed the LCD will read
“LOAD COMPLETED”.
Stop the cassette recorder and turn the DX21 MEMORY PROTECT function back
ON. The LOAD function can be interrupted at any time by pressing the DATA ENTRY
NO button. This can, however, result in incomplete data loading, possibly causing
“garbled” voice data to appear in one memory location.
** Be sure to turn the MEMORY PROTECT function back ON after a successful
LOAD operation.
A15: CASSETTE LOAD SINGLE
This function allows you to load a single voice from a previously saved 32-voice
cassette file into the DX21 voice edit buffer, from which it can be stored in any
voice memory using the STORE function. Make sure the MEMORY PROTECT
function (A16) is OFF before using the LOAD SINGLE function.
When this function is initially called the LCD will read "Load Single ?". Press the
DATA ENTRY YES button to go on to the next step. The LCD will now read “Tape
# ? to Buff, (A1-A16,B1-B16)". You must now enter the voice number of the
voice you wish to load from cassette—do this by pressing the corresponding voice
memory seleactor button. The selected voice number will appear in place of, the “#
?” portion of the upper display line. Then, make sure the appropriate cassette is
loaded in the cassette recorder and is rewound to the beginning of the voice file
containing the desired voice, press the DATA ENTRY YES button, and start the
cassette recorder running in the PLAY mode. The DX21 will automatically locate
the selected voice and load it into the voice edit buffer. When finished, the display
will read “LOAD COMPLETED”. The LOAD SINGLE function can be interrupted
by pressing the DATA ENTRY NO button. Doing this may, however, result in garbled
voice data in the DX21 voice edit buffer.
The loaded voice may now be stored into any voice memory location by holding
down the STORE button while pressing the voice selector of the destination voice
memory location. This must be done before another voice selector button is pressed
if you desire to keep the loaded voice in memory, otherwise the loaded voice data
in the voice edit buffer will be erased and replaced by the voice data called by the
pressed voice selector button.
** Be sure to turn the MEMORY PROTECT function (A16) back ON after a suc-
cessful LOAD operation.
