DATA TRANSFER TROUBLESHOOTJN8
If
you're having any trouble storing
or
loading data to/fro~ cassette
the
following
list
shows the ~ost coi-on causes of
errors
in
data
transfers,

Errors
when
reading
in data can also be caused
by
phase
proble~s
arising in the cassette recorder. Some recorders designed for use with
co~puters have a phase reverse switch (sometiMes just labelled PHASEJ
1
to eliminate such problems. As far as possible you should use the sa~e
recorder
for
both
recording
and
re-loading
program
data;
any
differences
in
tape head alignment
(Azimuth angle) can
cause
phase
proble~g,
these will be eliminated auto•atically if the sa~e recorder
is
used for recording and playback,

and HIDI
THRU,
far
fro, har1less
subjects!
Hany
newer
sequencers
come
equ1pped Nith a software feature that allows you
to
route
an
incoming HIDI signal
directly
to the
MIDI
OUT
connection.
Fine
so far,
but - and it's a big but - this can cause
catastrophic
confusion when wrongly linked.
If you thought crossed phone wires were
bad, you
airr"t
seen nothing yet!
With an e~ternal sequencer that has a
HIDI MERGE
<HIDI HIX or whatever
name
your
unit uses> function,
we can route data coeing into it
on
HIDI channels 2 thru
16
straight through its MIDI OUT.
Any MIDI
data
sent
out
by
the
KASTER
KEYBOARD to one
of
these
channels
will
therefore
reappear at the
NASTER
KEYBOARD MIDI
IN
in a flash.
If
we
have progra~~ed
OMNI ON
h~re {in order to receive data on all inco~ing
NIDI
channels),
the $ignal will again be passed on to the HIDI IN of
the external sequencer, closing the loop.
