Pinout of the FA-6 - posted in General Discussion: A user inquired about connecting a tape recorder with "line in," "line out," and "remote" features to the FA-6. The FA-6 is equipped with an 8-pin DIN connector, but the user is unable to connect the DIN to their tape recorder. They are seeking the pinout configuration for the 8-pin DIN plug to facilitate saving and loading programs to their standard tape recorder. Assistance with the pinout diagram for this 8-pin connector is requested.

The FA-6 synthesizer features an 8-pin DIN connector that serves multiple functions, including audio input/output and remote control capabilities. To effectively interface a tape recorder with this synthesizer, it is essential to understand the pinout configuration of the DIN connector.

The standard pinout for an 8-pin DIN connector is as follows:

1. Pin 1: Ground (common return for audio signals)
2. Pin 2: Line Out (audio output to tape recorder)
3. Pin 3: Line In (audio input from tape recorder)
4. Pin 4: Remote Control (for play/stop commands)
5. Pin 5: Not used (typically left unconnected)
6. Pin 6: Not used (typically left unconnected)
7. Pin 7: +5V DC (optional power supply for remote devices)
8. Pin 8: Shield (for grounding and noise reduction)

To connect the FA-6 to a tape recorder, the user should connect the tape recorder's line out to pin 2 of the FA-6's DIN connector, and the line in of the tape recorder to pin 3. The remote control functionality can be utilized by connecting the relevant control signals to pin 4, facilitating remote operation of the tape recorder during playback or recording.

It is crucial to ensure that the tape recorder is compatible with the signal levels and formats used by the FA-6 to avoid any potential damage to the equipment or degradation of audio quality. Proper shielding and grounding practices should also be applied to minimize noise interference during operation.

This pinout configuration enables seamless integration between the FA-6 synthesizer and a standard tape recorder, allowing for efficient saving and loading of programs.Pinout Of The Fa-6 - posted in General Discussion: Hello I am new at this Forum and hope that I will do nothing wrong. My question is how to connect aTape Recorder with ""line in"", ""line out"" and ""remote"" to my new FA-6.

On the FA-6 is a 8 Din plug but I can`t connect Din to my Tape Recorde I would need the pinout from this 8 Din plug that I can connect to, save and load my prg., to my normal Tape Recorder. Do anybody have a descrtion from this 8 Din plug. 🔗 External reference
