1. Turn on the RC-3’s power (insert a plug into the
OUTPUT A jack).
* The RC-3 will not operate on USB bus power. We recommend
that you use an AC adaptor (sold separately) to ensure that
the power does not turn o while connected via USB.

USB cable to connect the
RC-3’s USB connector to your
computer’s USB connector
(a connector that supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed).
The display will indicate “Cn.”
* You can’t make USB connections if the RC-3 is not stopped, or
if there is a phrase that has not been saved.
3. Back up the phrases as described below.
Windows users

Removable Disk).
Mac OS users

Backing up to your computer
Copy the entire “ROLAND” folder from the BOSS_RC-3 drive to
your computer.
Recovering backed-up data from your computer to the RC-3
* Performing this operation will erase all phrases that are
currently saved in the RC-3. Be sure to make a backup before
you proceed.
In the BOSS_RC-3 drive, delete the “ROLAND” folder, and then
copy the backed-up “ROLAND” folder from your computer to
the BOSS_RC-3 drive.
Writing individual WAV fi les from your computer to the
RC-3’s phrase memory
You can copy WAV les from your computer to the
“001_1”–”099_1” folders within the “ROLAND”–”WAVE”
folder in the BOSS_RC-3 drive. (The XX in “0XX_1” is the phrase
memory number.)
