Edirol R-09HR - Part THREE

[guitard]

I was going to install 1.05 - now I'm glad I never got around to it yet.  Sounds like it's a little glitchy.

[gmm6797]

Can anyone prove, with 100% certainty this is an issue with 1.05 and not just a weird fluke?

As in, can you repeat it over and over again and then revert back to 1.04 and be sure its gone?

[Dede2002]

Hmmm.... this just happened to me as well.  And I had to remove the batteries to turn off the unit.  I tried it three more times afterward, but it hasn't hung up again so far.  Might be an issue with the update?

Well, I'm not alone. Seems to be an issue with the update indeed.
And I don't know what to do 
Have you contacted Roland US? See, I'd do this myself but I can't. I live overseas and they only accept contact when you provide an US address. Of course I can always contact Roland Brasil, but they are known around here for their automatic responses and, to be honest, I'm sure they are not going to help me at all.

The first thing you should try is to re-install the update...and or re-install 1.04 if that doesn't work.

Just did that. Nothing really changes when you re-install the update.
I'm kinda worried about re-install the 1.04. I don't even know if the unity will accept it.
Man, I'm always afraid about them upgrades. Seems to me that they are more like a trap than a real good thing...

Version 1.04 has just been re-installed. No problems doing that.
After that, I turned the unit On and Off like 6 times and everything was just fine.
I'll try again in the morning. Anyway, my R-09HR was freezing all the time and now it is not.
Since I'm not alone dealing with this problem, I assume there is something wrong with this 1.05 update.
It would be great to listen from other folks.

I just turned mine on/off 10 times, 1.05, no problems. What is your switch configuration, I'll replicate that and try again.

I'm not sure if I understand. What do you mean with "switch configuration"?
Thanks

Hey all...I'm thinking about picking one of the R-09HR's up and I seem to recall a while back that someone said they bought a new one for like $250?  Was that true, or is there a link or something?  Does anyone have any good suggestions where to pick one up?

Thanks for any input!

Don't know how that smiley got there?  I didn't insert it.  I would have added one of these  if someone can point me to a cheap one!

All the switches on the back of the unit, what position are they in? Perhaps it's something unique about the particular functions you have set. As I could not replicate it, it could be an 1.05 and switch interaction?

Makes me glad I never did it.   I don't see a good reason to upgrade based on the benefits listed.  I'm up to my eye-brows with code upgrade issues from a major release at work over the weekend. I get paid to recover from this mess. I don't get paid to recover from Edirol upgrade issues. If its not broke and if the improvements don't really pertain to your needs, don't fix it.

[GregDunn]

I was able to replicate the problem 3-4 times successfully.  Tonight, I will:

1) check switch positions
2) re-install 1.05
3) re-install 1.04 if the problem still occurs

and post here.

I got you.Well, everything is on the standard position, so to speak. Ext Mic: stereo, everything else is not been engaged (limiter, low cut etc ).
Since last night I turn that thing On and Off zillions of times after re-install Ver 1.04. Works perfectly, the problem is gone.
I'm not saying that the the problem will occur with every unit. But this thing happened to me and GregDunn. I think this is evidence enough that the same could happen again with other units.

I've always been very slow to apply updates like this - and I maintain the same philosophy as you.  I have a 4-5 year old DVD authoring program that I use and it's v2.  I think it's up to v5 now - but I stick with v2 because it does everything I need.

Last tuesday I installed the new 1.05version..
Yesterdayevening I taped a show. No problems at all.
Everything worked just fine with the new firmware..

Same thing here. I even taped a show using the new firmware. The malfunction only  happened after two days.
Like I said before, it's not something that can occur with all units.
