Reading Alesis HR-16 Drum Machine syx data from cassette

Hi,

I've posted elsewhere on the interweb, but here is my problem:

Back in the late 80’s/ early 90’s I had an Alesis HR-16 drum machine - sadly I don't have it anymore. I've found original HR-16 samples on line and in the back of an old cupboard - hey presto a TDK cassette with what looks like sysx data dumps of my old HR-16 patches. I’d love to reproduce these again using Cubase 12 LE AI Elements.


I don’t even know if this is possible. Bizarely, I have the original JVC cassette deck that I recorded the sysx data with, so it’s no problem playing the cassette, but how do I get it into Cubase in a readable format without owning the HR-16 hardware? Is there any kind of PC midi app that I can play the tape into and extract patch data?

Any help from you good folks would be very much appreciated.
