Boss RC-50 - Importing and Exporting WAV Files

85
With Macintosh
Chapter 9
When the RC-50 performs Import, the patch data will be
overwritten regardless of the setting of Preset Protect (p. 69).
* Carry out the following procedure only with all performances stopped.
1. Connect the computer and the RC-50 with a USB cable.
With importing, the beat cannot be changed after the data is
imported. If you do want to change the beat, set the beat
beforehand using the procedure described on p. 46.
2. Press [SYSTEM/USB] several times until the USB screen is
displayed.

3. Press [WRITE].
* “Stop PLAY/REC!” is displayed if you press [WRITE] while a phrase
or guide is playing. If this occurs, stop the performance of the phrase or
guide, then press [WRITE] again.
* If you have any unsaved data (phrase or patch settings), the message
“Cancel rec data?” appears.
If you press [WRITE], any data currently being worked on in this
operation is deleted, and the procedure continues using the data as it
was before the current operation was begun. To cancel the procedure,
press [EXIT].
When the connection to the computer is completed, the message
“Copy data files.” appears.
The “BOSS_RC-50” icon appears on the computer’s screen.

4. Double-click the “BOSS_RC-50” icon.
The “ROLAND” folder is displayed.
5. Double-click the “ROLAND” folder, then double-click the
“WAVE” folder.
The WAV files are displayed.
6. Execute the export or import.
If exporting:
1) Select the WAV file you want to export.
2) Copy the selected WAV file to the desired folder on the
computer.
If importing:
1) Open the folder on the computer containing the WAV files,
then select the WAV file you want to import.
2) Refer to p. 81, then change the file name.
3) Copy the selected WAV file to the “WAVE” folder on the
RC-50.
If the RC-50’s “WAVE” folder contains a WAV file with the
same name as the one being imported (i.e., phrase in the import-
destination patch), a “file overwrite confirmation” dialog
appears. If you want to proceed and overwrite the file, click
[OK]. If you want to keep the existing file instead of overwriting
it, click [Cancel].
In this case, either save the required WAV file to the computer
(export), or change the file name and repeat the procedure from
Step 6.
7. End the USB connection.
1) All windows on the computer close.
2) Drag the “BOSS_RC-50” icon on the computer’s desktop
into the Trash.
End the USB connection; the RC-50’s display changes to the
following.

8. Press [EXIT].
The Play screen soon reappears in the display.
If the message “Disconnect, OK?” appears, press [EXIT] and
end the USB connection.
In this state, the USB cable can be safely disconnected from the
RC-50 and computer.
Importing and Exporting
WAV Files
The included CD contains WAV files with sample phrases that
can be used by the RC-50.
The WAV files on the CD cannot be imported with their
file names left unaltered. Change the file names after
referring to p. 81.
(Ex.)
BOSS_RC-50
Importing WAV files to three phrases and playing them back as
is may result in excessive volume levels which can cause the
sound to distort.
After importing, adjust the volume of each phrase with the
PHRASE 1/2/3 LEVEL knobs.
