briefer Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi, Just curious. Was there any electronic keyboard that used cassette tape as storage for songs, as with the ROM cartridges? Not for audio, but for data storage. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 My Korg DW6000 and DW8000 synths used tape cassettes for data storage, not for songs though-only for sounds. You could edit and save banks of sounds using a cassette recorder and cassettes. I think there were other earlier digital synths that did this. I know of no Casios that did this but there probably were. I think Casio was the only manufacturer that used data cartridges to save sounds such as the EZ-CZ cartridges I had for the CZ synths but again would only store data for sounds, not songs-the CZ-5000 has an 8-track sequencer, but I'm not sure the data cassettes stored songs-the EZ-CZ cartridges did not.

CYBERYOGI =CO=Windler Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Also Casiotone CT-7000 and RZ-1 had datasette "MT" feature. And for Casio PT-50 and PT-30 was the upgrade module TA-1 to save sequencer content on tape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
