Background Although cassette interfaces are quite reliable, problems can occur due to incorrect tape levels,
defective tape, bad luck, etc. Do not consider your work as saved until you have verified the data recorded on
tape, thus insuring that it can be loaded back into the SR-16 in the future.
Unlike some other cassette interfaces, this function verifies that the data on tape is valid, not necessarily that it's
the same data as what's in the machine. In other words, the verify function does not work by checking the tape data
and SR-16 data for similarities. Therefore, you can verify tape data at any time.

TAPE? Press PLAY; the display says START TAPE…
Press the recorder's Play button. While loading, the display shows the current Pattern or
Song being loaded, until all data has been loaded. Upon completion the display says
DONE.
Background This function reloads a Bank of Patterns and Songs stored on tape back into the SR-16. Data
loaded from tape will take its original position in memory (e.g., SONG 15 will reload back into SONG 15). Loading all
Patterns and Songs overwrites all existing data in memory, so if necessary, save your current work before loading.
