Topic: Edirol R-09 Release Information -ptII

[Rick]

Don't get rid of the H120 just yet. I posted a question out there if anyone had tried a USB On-the-Go hook-up, which is making its way into the main scene with portable devices. I think I will be tracking down this puppy - http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=245923 - to try running off R-09 file onto my H340. Also, Macally makes a drive that just does a full disk copy straight to a portable drive with a push of a button, into serial folders so I don't think you would have to worry about the repeated file names. You could simulate that by preloading some empty subdirectories on your H120 and then using the Belkin to drag over the files, confirm on the H120, and then delete from the R-09. The Belkin is also battery powered... Seems like there are some good portable mass storage options out there. I love the idea of doing this with my H340, because then you have playback right there on your MPR drive 

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these things? I ran across trying to figure out how to hook my R-09 to my H340, with no TypeB mini to TypeB mini cables in sight...

I think someone said it would work with the H340, but not with the H120/H140.

It maybe will work on the 340 since it has USB OTG, you would need to figure it out.  I don't think its likely to be easy since the software driver is not there (to do things like choose what files you want to copy, etc.), they are talking about adding it to rockbox someday: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UsbOnTheGoSupport. 

It will not ever work with the HP120 since it doesn't have OTG capability.

anybody have a link to the 1.03 firmware?  i've got a friend's unit here that apparently shipped with 1.02.  can't find it on edirol.com, can't find it on rolandsystemsgroup.com

thanks, i hope!

very likely just showing my ignorance....but could one transfer files from the R-09 to a H1xx using optical out of R-09 to optical in of H1xx? ( though only H1xx has optical in )

Yes you could but I would not want to do that since transfer would be real-time slow and subject to digital mess up type errors, compared to USB transfer to a PC which is quick, like 30x as fast and more reliable.  Or transfer to a portable device like a hyperdrive or flashtrax where you insert the card and it transfers quick and reliable too.

Thanks for the firmware link..  I went there last week wondering whether I had the latest but couldn't find anything about firmware..  So I've been running 1.02 up until now (with great results).

I had a second instance of the 'switched into 16/44' bug.  Still haven't trained myself to always look at the available record time to watch for it. Fortunately it was an opener. I wonder if this is fixed in 1.03?

Can't say for sure but I upgraded the firmware as soon as I got mine and have never experienced that problem, so it might.

Mine came preloaded with 1.03 and it hasn't switched back to 16/44 since I put it at 24/48 once I got the unit... Though I haven't done a real field test yet.

not sure if someone has mentioned the 150x ridata cards.  i did a ton of research for my digital photography and use the 2GB 150x version with no problems and i love the speed.  if i end up getting an R09 i'll get this card
