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.
