CompactFlash card for BR-600

[thouston]

Ahh, you have to use the BR Wave Converter software http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=699&tab=downloads&skip=true for transferring files to your PC.

I filmed a series of video tutorials for the BR-600, one is Exporting and Importing tracks:

I think he wanted a backup, Tony, not a WAV file. So the procedure he used is the correct one. Although, he could have also made some WAV files to save with the backup in case he later wants to listen to the song without having to load it back on the BR.

Another question (or 2, hundred...) I was able to transfer files to my Dell hard-drive under my documents, they are there under "ROLAND" folder, I open that up and I find 4 more folders, BRO, SMF, TONELOAD, and USB. I open up SMF, TONELOAD and USB and find no files or documents there, but opening up the BRO I find 8 songs listed as "SONG0000.BRO" but no titles to identify which song they are (also a DISKINF2.BRO which I guess if info about the disc) Opening up one of these files I find all sorts of info pertaining to the song, cool. but how do I identify the song from this ".BRO" labeling? Thanks again in advance, I'm sure I'll be back with more questions...

The song title is inside one of the files so you can't normally see it just by browsing your files. However, if you install my BR Explorer program, it will let you look at your backup and see the song titles within it.

Regarding the location of your backup in My Documents, I would recommend moving it to a sub-folder with a name that you'll be able to recognize in the future. You could start by making a new folder in My Documents called "BR Backups", for example. Then, within "BR Backups", make another new folder called, for example, "Backup 2012-02-04". Now move your ROLAND folder into that folder. When you create another backup in the future, you can create another folder for it in "My Documents\BR Backups" called, for example, "Backup 2012-07-21", then copy the ROLAND folder from that backup into it. So, your folder structure would look something like this:

My Documents
   BR Backups
      Backup 2012-02-04
         ROLAND
            BR0
               SONG0000.BR0
               SONG0001.BR0
               SONG0002.BR0
            SMF
            TONELOAD
            USB
      Backup 2012-07-21
         ROLAND
            BR0
               SONG0001.BR0
               SONG0003.BR0
               SONG0004.BR0
            SMF
            TONELOAD
            USB

+1 - That is a great program for backup.

Tony, the compact flash card that you suggested from OEM, in the product details this item is rated at only 12X speed. You have used this in your BR-600 with no problems? Just wondering before I purchase a couple, thanks!

[thouston]

Yes, I had brought two, this was awhile ago. Also, I did have the latest BR-600 firmware installed as well.

Tony, in reply #11 above you show a link to Roland's BR Wave Convertor. When I clicke don the link, it shws that this software is for use with the Boss 900-864-532 recorders. This will also work with the 600?

[64Guitars]

The latest version of BR Wave Converter is 3.10 for Windows or 3.11 for Mac. It works with the BR-80, BR-800, BR-600, BR-900, BR-864, BR-532, and Micro BR.

Did you get the CF cards, and did they work?

I meant to check here, but have been busy. I got a new workstation for my BR-800 & BR-1600 and have listening to the tracks we recorded on the BR-1600 for the 'next' CD before my bass player came down with brain cancer.
