Hi Tony,
I guess you bought one of Walt Whitney's patch tapes as well, then? :)
The idea of writing some software to decode the patch audio has crossed my mind as well. The only accurate specification of the format of the tape information will be the source code for the Xpander OS itself.
Back in April 2012 you mentioned your friend who had the original Xpander OS source code. If he still has it, could you please ask him to release it to us?
Cheers,
John :^P

Hello Xpander Users,Do any of you know if the Xpander (or M12) cassette patch specification has every been documented?I would like to know the following, at the very least:1 Where the single patches are located in a cassette dump?2. Where the multis are located in a in a cassette dump?3. The frequencies for a 0 bit, and a 1 bit4. Where the global data (if any) is located in a cassette dump?Any/all information that has been documented regarding the cassette patch dump format. I didn't see anything in the service manual nor the User manual, (nor would I expect that type of information to be in either manuals)Online searches didn't find any documented patch specifications, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't already done this.ThanksTony
