so
lhat lh€ data can b€ slored
on a
computer, a Yamaha
MDF-1
(MlDl
FileQ or a Yamaha DX-7llFD.
The data
is
senl
out as one block of system
exclusive data, with the

determined by the
amount
of memory b€ing us6d. No more than 507"
of
memory

SYNCING
THE HR.16 TO

is
possible

lrack of
a
tape fgcorder,
which
koeps
all ot
lho sequEncers/drum
machines
pe.leclly
in

with the recorded information
on the tape machins.

(or

lrigger the
drum
machine
and
