Using the FR-1x's audio player

9. Using the FR-1x's audio player
The FR-1x can play back audio files in the mp3 and WAV formats directly from a USB memory you connect to its USB
MEMORY port. See below for a description of the supported file types.
Copying audio files to a USB
memory
Before being able to play back audio (mp3 or WAV) on
the FR-1x, you must first copy them from your com-
puter's hard disk to a USB memory that can be con-
nected to the FR-1x.
Copy your audio files to
the root level.
Be aware that the FR-1x can only play back files located
in the USB memory's root directory (i.e. on the same
level as any folders the USB memory may contain).
Never copy audio files to a folder if you wish to be able
to play them back on the FR-1x.
About audio files
• Audio files in the following formats can be played back:
• WAV format
• 16-bit linear
• Sampling frequency: 44.1kHz
• Stereo/mono

• MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3

320kbps, VBR (variable bit rate)
Tip for naming audio files
The FR-1x only displays the first three characters of the
audio file names. If the USB memory contains several
files whose first three characters are the same, we rec-
ommend renaming those files on your computer by
adding a number to their names.
Here is an example: if the USB memory contains a file
named "Amazing Grace.wav" and another one called
"Amazing.mp3", consider renaming them as follows to
be able to distinguish between them:
1Amazing Grace.wav
2Amazing.mp3

Playing back audio files

Insert an optional USB memory into the
FR-1x's USB MEMORY port.
The USB memory can only be connected in one direc-
tion. Insert the USB memory without applying exces-
sive force.
NOTE
Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.
NOTE
Use a USB memory sold by Roland (M-UF-series). We can-
not guarantee operation if any other USB memory is used.
The FR-1x automatically loads the first audio file in
alphabetical order that it detects in the USB mem-
ory's root folder.
Press the PLAYER [®÷π] button to start play-
back.
