Boss BR-864 Question

crosstownk

I've just got a compact flash card from a mate and I want to use it in my BR-864. The problem is I don't know how to reformat the card. I've gone through the whole menu system - I've several Roland products so I'm familiar with their menu structures. I recently moved house and can't seem to find the user manual as its probably at the bottom of one of the many boxes in the garage.

Anybody know how I reformat the card?

Hippo

Are you sure the make of card is compatible? I have the BR 900cd and it'll only accept certain makes.

crosstownk

How do I know if the card is compatible?

Hippo

The 900 only seems to recognise Kingston and Scandia cards, and some other make you can't get anywhere that I can't remember the name of. I'll try and have a look in my user manual which is somewhere....

Hippo

Sorry for the delay...if you're still stuck go to 'utility' then 'ini' to initialise the card, that'll format it

crosstownk

I'm nearly sure I tried that and didn't see an option to initialise the card. I'll check it out when I get home.

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

Hippo

Like I said I'm using the 900 so there could be a difference there...but there has to be an initialise option somewhere! Good Luck

Hippo

Should have thought of this earlier....I think if you go to the main roland website you can download the br 864 manual in acrobat.

Nice 1. Gonna do that now. Thanks.
