Re: About the RZ-1 Tape-Dump Cable.

2006-03-28 by steve_the_composer

The MT I/O cable I have (I think its the right one) is a DIN plug with 
8 pins arranged as follows:

(1) 7 pins arranged in a circle [if you imagine an 8th pin completing 
the circle in line with the alignment notch] with the 8th pin a little 
off center [towards the notch] from the actual center.

OR

(2) like a smiley face with two pins as eyes, one as a nose and 5 as 
the mouth

There are three small phone plugs
(1) black = play
(2) red = record
(3) white = pause

(1) and (2) are standard [I think] cassette tape recorder audio I/O 
plugs. (3)is standard remote pause plug.

BTW, I did an experiement a few years ago recording and playing back 
the audio into a wav file [on the CZ-5000].  It worked. But sysex 
makes so much more sense to use.  

I would recommend sysex dumps for the RZ as well. Is there some reason 
why you couldn't use sysex dumps?
