MEMORY CARD AND USB
About the microSDHC Memory Card
 The 95000 records uncompressed 16-bit
audio at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
 All recorded audio is stored on removable
Micro Secure Digital High Capacity (microSDHC)
Memory Cards. The microSDHC card slot
(labelled “microSD”) is located on the rear
panel of the 95000 by the power jack.
 The 95000 only accepts cards labeled
microSDHC with a storage capacity that
ranges from 4GB to 32GB. We recommend
you use cards with a speed class of 10 or
higher, as indicated by the number inside a
semicircle on the card itself. The 95000
does not accept standard-sized SD cards or
cards labeled as microSD or microSDXC.
The 95000 comes supplied with a 16GB card. Its
maximum loop recording time of up to 375 minutes
time can be divided up however you want. For
example, you could record one loop that is 375
minutes long—that’s a long song! Or record 100
loops, each 3 minutes and 45 seconds long.
The size of the card has no effect on the
number of loops (100) the card can hold. To
put it another way, a 32GB card cannot hold
more loops than a 4GB card, but the 32GB can
hold more audio and, therefore, longer loops.
 The UNDO function reduces the total
recording time since older versions of each
track need to be saved on the memory card.
 The 95000 will not enter Record or
Playback without a proper SDHC Card
inserted into its card slot.

How to Format microSDHC Memory Cards
Use only microSDHC Memory Cards that are
formatted with the FAT32 file system. Most
cards come preformatted for FAT32. But if you
do need to format a microSDHC card for the
95000, we recommend using the official SD Card
Formatter tool published by the SD Association
(http://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4)
instead of the standard formatting utilities
included with Windows and OS X operating
systems. The SD Card Formatter tool is available
for both Windows and Mac OS X and ensures that
the card is formatted for best performance.
How to Remove the microSDHC Card
To remove the microSDHC card, push the card
into the 95000. This action engages a spring
that releases the card and pushes it partially
back out of the slot. Then pull the card out the
rest of the way. To exchange microSDHC cards,
simply insert a new card into the open slot.
Please make sure the 95000 is idle before
removing the card. Do not remove the card if
the 95000 is in the process of playing, recording
or overdubbing. If you do remove the card
during recording or overdubbing, damage to the
card’s file system may occur, and the 95000 will
be unable to properly read or write to the card.
If this does occur, connect the 95000 to a
Windows PC with a USB cable and run the
Scandisk utility on the card. For Mac users,
connect the 95000 to the computer and run the
Repair Disk function built into the Disk Utility
app. If the card still does not work, reformat the
card for FAT32 as described above.
Unfortunately, reformatting permanently erases
all the loops that were on the card.
