Exporting wav's from card backups

Post by ghost bazz »

If you have a copy of the wav converter app, you can use it to export wav's from your SP-555 card backups. By backing up, I mean copying cards in their entirety from your CF card to your computer. This is all pretty straight forward, but I figured I'd pass it along.

First you need to format a USB flash drive in MS DOS FAT format. Disk name: FUGUEFAT

Then copy your backed up CF card to that drive with the following file structure:

Drive/Disk Name: FUGUEFAT
Then, on the main directory a folder of SP-555 stuff: ROLAND
... and within that folder are the associated 555 files.

Once you've formatted your disk and applied this file structure/naming, you can use the converter app to export wav's from your old card backups. Super useful if you have a bunch of backed up 555 cards and you sell your machine.
