ALESIS HR-16:B - Manual (Page 30)

LOAD ONE SONG
FROM TAPE: flO
SEND ALL PATTS &
SONGS OUT MIDI
In all five of thés» pages, pressing RECORD initiates the operation. The verify
function is used to insure that the data just recorded to tape is good. Load from
tape loads the entire memory with the data on tape. Load patt and load song allow a
single pattern or song to be loaded from a tape. The keypad can be used to select
the desired number. After pressing RECORD, the display will change to the
following (depending on the page shown when it was pressed):
VERIFYING TAPE..
PATT: 00
LOADING TAPE..
PATT: 00
LOADING PATT 27
PATT: 00_________
LOADING SONG 56
SONG: 00___________
SENDING OUT DATA
TO MIDI_____________
Again, the RECORD and TAPE buttons can be released, and the display will continue
until the operation is complete, with the currently loading or verifying pattern or
song number being shown in the display. When loading one pattern or song, the
display will continue to show the selected pattern or song number in the upper
display. When sending out MIDI data, the display shown above will remain until
the data has been sent out. After completion of the tape functions, the display will
return to its previous state (select pattern or select song). If an error is
encountered while loading a tape, the display will show ERROR as soon as it
occurs, for example.
LOADING TAPE..
PATT: 36 ERROR
The tape will attempt to continue to load, but it is possible that the data will be
corrupted and therefore unusable.
During any of the tape operations (but not the send MIDI function), the
STOP/CONTINUE button can be used to abort the operation. When loading in all
patterns and songs, aborting the tape may leave unusable data in memory. When
loading one pattern or song, aborting after the selected pattern or song has passed
will not cause any problems.
