TAPE?
PRESS PLAY
This function saves all Patterns, Songs, and Drum Kits to tape. The display shows STORE
TO TAPE? Put the cassette recorder into record mode. After the tape has gone past the
leader (if present), press PLAY on the SR-16. The SR-16 display will increment through the
A/B Patterns and Songs; the operation is finished when the display says DONE. It's a good
idea to save data several times in case part of the tape becomes damaged.
To cancel the saving operation at any time, press STOP. The display says TAPE OUT
CANCEL.
Remember that you can save data to any tape medium. For example, recording drum part
data at the head of a multi-track master is often convenient, as it stores the drum parts used
on a song with that song.

display says DONE.
