<div dir="ltr">
<div>Hi,</div>
After some cassette backup discussions, a silly idea came up.
<div><br>
<div>Old synths often had tape dump as a means of backing up sounds.</div>
</div>
<div>Nowadays it's easier to use a sampler or computer than a cassette tape, since it's just audio.</div>
<div>Sooo... turning this on its head:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Were there ever any old sampler that would let you store sample data as a tape dump? (-:</div>
