I have  decided on the six sounds I want and had
thought of having 2 tape  frames

A)
Split choir
Mark II Flute
M300a 2 violins ( What a  surprise )

B)
Clarinet 
Cello
Mark II 3 violins
( Probably  in that order )

It crossed my mind that I could get all 6 on one  tape.

Does any body have any experience with the six track
tapes? Is  it easy or to get the individual voices?






No can do Mark!
 
This is how it works (example). Move the track selector as follows:
 
Position A.        Flute mixed  with Oboe
Position A+B.   Oboe mixed with Clarinet
Position B.        Clarinet mixed with  Alto Sax
Position B+C    Alto Sax mixed with Brass
Position C.        Brass mixed with  three violins
 
So you see, there are six tracks*, but only five voices,  none of them solo, 
although you could get one solo voice and have only 4 sounds,  for example, by 
having selector position B be  Clarinet mixed with Alto Sax and then track 
selector position C  be Alto Sax and Brass. Then, when the track selector is in 
the  B+C position it would yield only the sound of the Alto Sax.  Marvelous 
fun and a very clever offering by Streetly.
