Recording Your Performance as Audio Data
Your FR-4x allows you to record your performance and the
performance of your band on the optional USB flash drive.
The resulting audio file is stored in the “MyREC” folder.
The recording format is WAV (not mp3), which allows you to burn
your recordings onto a CD using your computer.
NOTE
5 Use a commercially available USB flash drive or a USB flash
drive sold by Roland. However, we cannot guarantee that all
commercially available USB flash drives will work with this
unit.
5 Do NOT turn off the power or disconnect the USB flash drive,
until the end of the save operation or the cancel operation
after the recording.
Doing so may destroy the data on the USB flash drive.
Recording
1. Insert the optional USB flash drive that should
contain your audio recording into the FR-4x USB
port.

Recording can also be started and stopped with the Function
Switches or MIDI foot controller (p. 76).

You cannot start recording while the player is playing back a
song.
If you try it nevertheless, the display will show the “Playing!”

again to stop recording.
