3) To load recorded data from tape into the programmer.
1. Make connections as shown in the chart (same as for verification).
2. Set TAPE ENABLE switch to ENABLE position so its LED lights up. The keyboard cannot be played in this
condition. Set WRITE ENABLE to ENABLE position.
3. Rewind the tape, begin playback and set the recorder's volume and tone to usual levels using the leader tone
as reference.
4. Press the FROM TAPE (BANK B) button so its LED lights up.
5. Play the tape. When the beginning of the data is found, the FOUND (MANUAL) and LOADING (WRITE) LEDs
will light up to indicate that loading of data into the programmer has begun. The LEDs of PROGRAM buttons 1-
8 will light up in order as the loading procedure continues. When data loading is completed, all LEDs except
TAPE ENABLE will go out.
6. Set TAPE ENABLE to DISABLE position. Set WRITE ENABLE to DISABLE position.
* The ERROR/CANCEL (BANK D) LED will light up if data is missing (due to tape dropout, etc.) PROGRAM
LEDs will stay lit at the point where the error appeared. When this happens, rewind the tape, check your
connection cord and recorder's volume and tone setting, then perform the loading procedure again.
If you ever make an error during data storage, verification or loading, simply press the CANCEL
(ERROR/CANCEL) button. This interrupts the procedure and turns off all LEDs except TAPE ENABLE. Then you
can begin again from the beginning.
Note however, that with data loading (from tape into the programmer), program contents will already have been
changed if the LOADING (WRITE) LED has lit up before you hit the CANCEL button.
4) Finding the correct recorder volume level
This has to be determined for each recorder individually. Proceed as follows and make a note of your findings
for future use.
1. Connect recorder's output to FROM TAPE (as described in section on verification). Put in supplied accessory
tape (section that has recorded program data on it).
2. Set TAPE ENABLE switch to ENABLE position so that its LED lights up.
3. Set recorder's volume to normal listening level and set tone control to central (flat) position (a bit on the treble
side may give better results).
4. Press VERIFY (BANK C) so its LED lights up.
5. Begin data playback ( of supplied accessory tap) and gradually turn down the recorder's volume. Note the point
when the ERROR/CANCEL LED lights up. This is the volume control's lower limit.
6. Repeat the procedure, this time slowly turning up the recorder's volume until the ERROR/CANCEL LED lights
up. This is the upper limit. Set the volume control midway between the lower and upper limits, as determined
by the above procedure.
