Topic: Edirol R-09HR - Part FOUR

[ashevillain]

I know this is going to be a weird request but does anyone have each and every individual firmware update for the R-09HR? I thought Edirol would have them catalogued on their website but I can't find it if they do. I thought I had them all but I can't find them here either.

No one here has them all saved?

Here you go.

HEY FOLKS! I just pulled the trigger and I am about to update the firmware from 1.04. I assume that all the upgrades as they are released include the fixes made in previous upgrades. Now, I am trying to figure out which one will be the best as I am not convinced that the latest version has anything to offer the concert taper. Would 1.06 do the trick then? The newest version seems to be have features that would be useless for my needs.
Thanks in advance.

Other than Eco mode (which has not been proven to be more economical on batteries AFAIK) there is no reason to upgrade to the latest firmware IMO. If someone has done a scientific comparison between regular mode and Eco mode feel free to prove me wrong.

I am still using 1.04 because of the hidden menu.
I can turn the red light off and one touch recording.

That's what I would do. I have downgraded from 3.0 to 2.0 and finally to 1.06. I like the hidden menu (discussed in an earlier thread) which can't be accessed from 3.0. It allows you to turn off the bright record light among other things. You can access it from 1.06 as well as 1.04 and I think 1.06 allows you to use a larger memory card.

You can also access it from 2.0, but all 2.0 added was features I never use that show up in the menu like a metronome function, so I am happier with 1.06 myself.

I think 1.06 allows you to use a larger memory card.

Change of version 1.06
* Compatible with 32GB SDHC (High Capacity) memory cards.
* Improve the S/N ratio during 88.2kHz/96kHz recording/playback.

1.04 and 1.06 both say the same thing here. I guess the S/N ratio improved with both versions. They introduced 32GB compatibility in 1.04 and in 1.06 I think they just expanded the range of cards that were compatible. I don't know where the list of compatible cards is located but I definitely remember seeing a list at some point. I always use Kingston and never had a problem.

I ran my R09HR at a two day fest this weekend on Mississippi. Saturday was hella hot - over 90F and humid. Ran it almost nonstop for 12+ hours, only turning it off to change batteries a few times. It seemed to run pretty hot but it was damn sunny out there. I did cover my gear with a towel for shade but wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

[jibooer]

thanks for the input everyone...will give the 1.06 a try.

Cherry-popped the new r-09hr last night at MMJ. Ran like a charm. Went UA-5>R-09hr 24/48 w/ tekkeon and GAKable. Rode the levels hard just to see its reaction...no problems. Automatic file split worked fine and the metering was excellent. I even used a 8GB SDHC that my Marantz 661 doesn't like...

Should be a nice addition to the littlebox rig and those st*(&th situations. Thanksfor the help pholks.

Did you let go of your M10??

I have the HR running version 1.06
What is the hidden menu everyone talks about?

I think you must have missed the part where I said I covered my gear, so the color should make no difference?

[Brian E.]

if you cover any running electronics with an insulator like that, it'll also get hot.  Really either way it's inevitable in that length of time.
