OVERVIEW
The Cassette/Cartridge Mode lets you
* Save sequence (Pattern/Song/Chain), voice and setup (cassette only) data to an optional Yamaha RAM4 Data Cartridge or a
standard cassette tape.
* Verify that the data has been saved correctly.
* Load such data to the RX7.
* Format a data cartridge (cartridge only).
Besides the cartridge Format Job #30, the Cassette/Cartridge Mode has 15 Jobs in 3 groups (Save, Load and Verify) of 5 Jobs
each. The Jobs are numbered so that their first digit indicates Save (0), Load (1) or Verify (2), and their second digit the kind of
data to be handled.

Chains and/or all current voice data.
** "Sequence" refers to Patterns + Songs + Chains.
*** Cassette only.
Press CASSETTE/CARTRIDGE to enter this mode. The
same key also switches between Cassette and Cartridge op-
erations.
Cassette and Cartridge operations are basically the same and
will be discussed here together. They are distinguished on
the LCD by a different upper line:

After saving, set this switch to ON in order to protect the
cartridge contents from accidental erasure.
Before you can use a new RAM cartridge, it must be for-
matted. Refer to Job #30 at the end of this section.
CASSETTES
Before using Cassette Control, make sure that the RX7 is
correctly connected to a cassette deck with the supplied
cassette cable. Insert the 8-pin DIN-plug into the RX7
CASSETTE jack
microphone input and the white cable to its headphone
output.
Keep recording and playback levels high to minimize tape
hiss.

Before saving data, insert a blank cassette into the cassette
recorder. The cassette deck must be set for recording and
started before executing the Save command on the RX7
with the +1/YES key.
