Oberheim OB-X factory patches cassette data

Watch your speaker levels on this one!

"Play this video into your cassette in to verify or load the patches. Enjoy!"

Just like modem connection signals from days past! Ever wonder what those "Tape" jacks on the back of vintage pre-midi synths? It wasn't to record your music to tape. It was for backing up and loading patches. I'm guessing 99.99% of you already know this, but for the .01%, now you know. ;) What you are hearing above is not coming from the OB-Xa's synth engine. It's an analog audio digital representation of data that the OB-Xa can decipher to load patches.
