Topic: Edirol R-09 firmware 1.30

[dphirschler]

i've just received my edirol r-09 and it came with v.1.03... i updated to the latest firmware right away but am wondering if i received old stock as it had out of date firmware... which also makes me think that maybe its more likely to have the dodgey line-in jack that capsizes after a few go's.... mmmmm... any idea's there? also still not sure where to turn off the big red recording light with the latest firmware?

thanks guys.... rock on....

FWIW, I bought mine through Sound Professionals.  I was not expecting the latest firmware mainly because of the sale price.  I figured they were unloading old stock.  So I am delighted to be proven wrong.

does anyone have a zipped up 1.20 firmware still that they could send me.  I have the 1.20 installed on my new unit and plan on upgrading to 1.30, but would like to have the 1.20 to fall back on if necessary.

cheers

can you just usb the r-09 to the computer then drag the only DMZ file over to the desktop and copy, then upgrade to the 1.30 version,

sure, i imagine i could do that... i just assumed that the firmware flashed something to the unit, kind of like the jb3 and ihp-120, in addition to the file... hense i thought i needed to "install" it.

thanks for the info! +t

You can copy by USB or you can take the card out and put it in a card reader (or I stick it in my laptop) and copy the files over... then one step in the menu and a confirmation... and done

I don't think that solution works guys. My cards never have firmware files on them. Once the firmware is updated to the actual unit, it doesn't need to be on the card anymore, you can obviously take a brand new empty card and the firmwire will still work fine. I think the firmware files either self-delete from the original card after installation, or they're just removed the first time you reformat the card afterwards. Everytime I use any of my cards, there are only wav files on them and nothing more.

I'd like to have an answer to this as well, before I upgrade at all because then I would no longer have any other firmware to fall back on, just in case I encounter any "Card Error" problems or anything else. My original copies of the older firmware files were on a HDD that died, and I didn't think it was important enough to back up. Thanks if anyone knows something or can help.

What question are you actually asking?  Once you upgrade the firmware, it should remain updated.  You don't need to keep it on the SD card in order to load the firmware each time you use the R-09

Sorry, I just realized it was unclear. I edited two words in my post to make it less confusing.
I was referring to the discussion in the 4 posts above mine.
Thanks if anyone has any ideas.

I have the 1.20 firmware file somewhere on my work computer, but just go ahead and upgrade.  If something goes wrong, come back here or email me directly and I'll send it to you.

You can download v1.20 here:

BTW, in searching, I found the latest version is now v1.31 (includes support of SDHC cards up to 16 GB/32 GB)

edit: I guess I knew that already since mine is already at v1.31

That link seems to be dead and doesn't work.

I knew about the v1.31 firmware, I just posted in this one instead because I remembered the discussion about trying to roll back to an earlier version.
