ERRORS
As we mentioned before, you will occasionally get an Error Message on the
display after the CHECK ON E, LOAD ALL or SELECTIVE LOAD functions
complete their cycles. An Error Message indicates that there is one or more
things wrong with the data itself or that there is a mechanical problem - bad
connections, poor tape qualtty, dirty tape heads in your cassette machine
and so forth - that would cause the information on tape to not load properly.
The following list explains the
" CASS ERROR "
message codes that will
be displayed should a problem arise during a data transfer:
CASS ERROR 1 -
The data transfer was aborted. Did you press the
VALUE button while the tape transfer was still in progress?
CASS ERROR 2 -
The MATRIX-GR detected one or more errors in
the single Patch data from among the PATCH ES numbered 00
through 99.
CASS ERROR 3 -
The MATRIX-GR detected one or more errors in
the SPLIT Patch data from among the SPLITS numbered 00 through
49.
CASS ERROR 4 -
NOT USED
CASS ERROR 5-
The MATRIX-GR detected one or more errors in
the MASTER EDIT Page data.
CASS ERROR 6 -
The MATRIX-GR is unable to read the incoming
data because it was made from another MATRIX-GR with an updated
software version. To correct this problem, you will need a software
revision to make your synthesizer and that particular tape compatible.
You should contact your nearest Authorized Oberheim Service
Center for prices and availability. As long as you make and load tapes
from the same MATRIX-GR, this error will not occur.
CASS ERROR 7-
The MATRIX-GR is unable to recognize any of
the data. This may be due to either recording the data at too high a
volume or playing it back at too high a volume. Either of these two
situations will cause the data to be distorted. Another possibilty that
would cause this error is attempting to load in a tape made on another
device such as a drum machine, for example.
CASS ERROR
B
-
The cassette speed is too slow. Are your
batteries getting low? If you have a speed control on your cassette
recorder, was it accidentally changed?
CASS ERROR 9 -
NOT U SED
CASS ERROR A -
The cassette speed is too fast. Did you put in
fresh batteries since this tape was made? If you have a speed control
on your cassette recorder, was tt accidentally changed?
