Usb Interface; Data Backup & Restore - Roland Aoutique TR-09 User Manual

USB INTERFACE

In the past many synthesizers came equipped with various interfaces. Connection methods like CV and Gate, Din
Sync, S Trig, DCB, Tape I/O allowed synthesizers to connect to clocks, tape machines, sequencers and drum tracks.
Thanks to the universal serial bus with which most personal computers are equipped today we have a number of
interesting ways to handle these once complicated and tedious operations.
The USB connection port can be used to:
• Pass midi as well as audio data to and from a computer based DAW
• Mount the Drum Machine to the desktop of a computer and backup and/or restore and share your patterns.
• Mount the Drum Machine to the desktop for software updates.
DATA BACKUP & RESTORE
One of the coolest things about the boutique line of modules is their ability to mount onto the desktop of any USB
enabled computer and you can drag and drop your patches in order to save them. This is much handier than the old
fashioned midi librarian software, or the ancient and rarely reliable tape backup interface (although that actually is a
thrill and you might want to try it sometime.)
