Can anyone provide me with a source for finding an original factory program tape and patch title card, and also a referance to get updated sounds for my machine? thanks F.M.

There were 2 factory program tapes (A & B) that are only slightly different from each other. If you absolutely have to have the tapes/card (rather than a MIDI sysex file) email me at SpazTech@aol.com.

That being said, I suggest you go MIDI. I have a $9 librarian available for the Mac:

and there's a $25 PC editor/librarian at:

If you have a fairly decent sequencer all you need is a raw sys-ex file and $0.

Good luck,
Gary
