The verify function can be accessed directly, without
going through the save operation, by responding –1 /NO
or SAVE/VERIFY to the “SAVE TO TAPE?” prompt. The
save and verify operations can be interrupted at any time
by pressing the CASSETTE button. The cassette control
mode can be re-entered from any cassette operation
prompt by pressing the CASSElTE button. The cassette
control mode is also exited by pressing the CASSETTE
button.
Load
To load data from a cassette tape into the RX15
memory, first enter the cassette control mode by
pressing the CASSETTE button while holding down the
FUNCTION button. When the LCD panel presents you
with the “CASSETTE CONTROL” message, press the
LOAD button. The LCD panel will respond with “LOAD
FROM TAPE?“. Press the + 1/YES button to continue, or
the –1/NO button to return to the cassette control
mode. If the + 1/YES button is pressed, the LCD panel
will respond with “LOAD READY?". Make sure that the
data cassette is rewound to the beginning of the file you
wish to load, press the + 1/YES button then start the
cassette player in the playback mode to begin the load
operation. While the RX15 is loading the data the display
will read “LOAD EXECUTING”. If the load operation is
completed and no errors are detected, the RX15 will
return directly to either the song or pattern mode. If a
load error is detected the LCD display will read “LOAD
ERROR!” In this case return to the cassette control
mode by pressing the CASSETTE, SAVE/VERIFY, LOAD,
–1/NO or + 1/YES button and carry out the load
process again.
Load Data from Cassette
Position cassette at beginning of file to LOAD.

MIDI FUNCTIONS
The RX15 features MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) IN and OUT terminals on the rear panel,
allowing it to communicate with other MIDI compatible
equipment. The following four basic MIDI control
operations are available:
1—MIDI CLOCK INPUT–- The RX15 can be
synchronized to the clock of an external MIDI sequencer
or music computer (such as the Yamaha QX-series
sequencers or CX5M Music Computer).
2—MIDI CLOCK OUTPUT– External sequencers or
music computers can be synchronized to the RX15's
internal clock.
3—KEY NUMBER RECEPTION– The RX15
instruments can be sequenced by an external sequencer
or music computer.
4—KEY NUMBER TRANSMISSION– The RX15 can
be used to sequence an external MIDI synthesizer or
another rhythm machine.
Any of the 16 MIDI channels can be designated for MIDI
reception, and each RX15 instrument can be set to
transmit on any channel for independent control of a
number of “daisy-chained” MIDI devices.
In addition to the above four possibilities, an EXTERNAL
SYNC mode permits synchronizing the RX15 to non-
MIDI clock signals (gate clock signals) from some non-
MIDI sequencers and rhythm machines.
Sync Modes
The RX15 offers three sync modes which function as
follows:
1— INTERNAL— This is the normal RX15 mode. The
playback of patterns and songs is synchronized to the
RX15’s own internal clock, the speed of which is
adjusted by the TEMPO control and TEMPO functions.
The internal mode is also used when external
sequencers or rhythm machines are to be synchronized
to the RX15's internal clock, which is transmitted via the
MIDI OUT connector.
2—MIDI— In this mode the playback of patterns and
songs is synchronized to a MIDI clock signal received
from an external sequencer, music computer or another
rhythm machine via the MIDI IN connector on the RX15
rear panel. In this case the tempo must be controlled at
the device which is transmitting the MIDI clock signal.
3—EXTERNAL— This is actually a non-MIDI function,
permitting the RX15 to be synchronized to a gate-type
clock from sequencers and rhythm machines that
employ this type of clock system. When the EXTERNAL
sync mode is activated, the synchronizing clock is
received at the RX15 CASSETTE IN jack rather than at
the MIDI IN connector.
