Placing Audio Files on an SD Card

Preparations

You’ll need the following items.

• Computer: A computer that can read and write an SD card, such as a Windows or Mac.

1.

If you’re using an SD card for the rst time, insert the SD card into the TM-2 and format it. p. 17

* Prepare an SD card specically for the TM-2. If the card is also used with another device, it might not work correctly with the TM-2.

2.

Connect the SD card to your computer.

3.

Place the audio les (WAV) in the Roland/

TM-2/WAVE folder of the SD card.

* You can create up to one level of folders inside the WAVE

folder (a maximum of 300).

4.

Insert the SD card into the TM-2’s SD card

slot.

* Never insert or remove an SD card while this unit is turned on. Doing so may corrupt the data on the SD card.

* In order to play audio les from the SD card, the SD card must remain inserted in the TM-2. If the SD card is not inserted, the

screen indicates “NO CARD.”

5.

Assign audio les to pads as described in the procedure “Playing Sounds (Instruments)” (p. 9).

Audio les can be assigned to pads and edited (p. 11) just like the internal instruments.

* Subsequently, internal instruments and audio les are collectively called “instruments.”
