Seriously! I had problems using my cassette until I went and got myself a cheap ($30) portable cassette. Data being saved goes to the MIC input (most synths love to save a HOT signal); I load from the EARPHONE output -- at almost full volume (they like it even hotter on the way back). It seems that Roland sends a hot sinewave out, expecting a severely clipped (read almost square) signal back from the tape. From talking to other users, the Korg is similar, although I don't have first-hand experience with it. Since I started using my present setup, I've never had a problem. Good luck to you and anyone else experiencing the same problems. --------------------------------------- UUCP: tektronix!midas!chriss USMAIL: Chris Shirkoff Tektronix, Inc., PO Box 4600 MS 94-442 Beaverton, Oregon 97075 -- --------------------------------------- UUCP: tektronix!midas!chriss USMAIL: Chris Shirkoff Tektronix, Inc., PO Box 4600 MS 94-442 Beaverton, Oregon 97075
