USB Port: Using the 95000 with a Computer
The 95000’s USB Port allows you to move your
files to and from your computer via a standard
USB cable. The USB Port is located next to the
microSD card slot on the rear panel of the 95000.
When you connect your 95000 to a computer
through the USB connector, the computer
displays the microSDHC card inside the 95000 as a
“Removable Disk.” You may then copy files to
and from the microSDHC card. The 95000 is
automatically recognized by PCs running Windows
XP or later, as well as Macs running OS X.
 You can use the USB connection to upgrade
the software, if necessary. Check the 95000’s
product page at www.ehx.com to ensure you
have the latest version. Note: the software’s
version number “V x.y” will appear briefly
during the startup procedure. If you do need
to upgrade the software, instructions will be
included with the software revision.
The 95000 records all audio files as WAV files
which can then be read by most—if not all—
modern computers. Any audio program that
accepts wave files as a viable format can play or
edit the 95000’s audio files. Every PC and Mac
can play .WAV files. The biggest plus here is that
you can insert your 95000 files into your favorite
software application—a sound designer’s dream!
To properly unmount the USB connection between
the 95000 and your computer, follow the ejection
procedure appropriate to your computer operating
system:
 Windows: Go to the “Safely Remove
Hardware” icon down in the lower right
corner of the screen. Select the USB Mass
Storage Device and hit the STOP button.
 OSX: Go to the Finder and drag the SD Card
icon to the Trash.
95000’s microSDHC Card File System
Use a PC or Mac to import audio files made
elsewhere into the 95000. You can also backup or
restore loops to the microSDHC card inside
the 95000.
When you look inside the microSDHC card’s file
system, each loop will have its own folder with
labels from LOOP00 to LOOP99. Only the loop
numbers that have been recorded will have a
folder. For example, if you have never recorded
onto Loop 20, there will be no folder called
LOOP20.
Once you double-click one of the loop folders,
at least 8 files appear inside the folder. The
names for the 8 files are the same in each loop
folder: TEMPO.TXT; TRACK1.WAV; TRACK2.WAV;
TRACK3.WAV; TRACK4.WAV; TRACK5.WAV;
TRACK6.WAV; TRACKM.WAV. The loop folder may
also contain files with the extensions .UND, .DAT
and .TRK. When restoring a loop back into the
95000, these files are used to perform UNDO/REDO
operations on tracks you previously recorded.
The .TRK files are temporary .WAV files. If you
encounter a .TRK file while backing up, close
the window showing the files. Play the loop you
are backing up on the 95000, cycling the loop
at least two times. When you look again at the
files, the .TRK file will now be a .WAV file.
Backing-Up Files
1. Make sure both your computer and the
95000 are powered up.
2. Connect the 95000 to your computer with a
standard USB cable.
3. Look for the removable disk in your file system.
4. Open up the Memory Card’s window. You will
see at least one folder: LOOP00. Each loop
that you record on the 95000 will be recorded
into its own LOOPxx folder.
5. Inside each LOOPxx folder are numerous files.
If you plan on restoring the loop folder back to
the 95000 at some point, the best way to back
up any given loop is to copy the loop’s entire
folder to a preferred directory on your
computer’s hard drive. You may want to
change the name of the Loop folder—once it is
on your hard drive—to easily determine the
contents of the folder. When backing up, it is
important to save all the files in the loop
folder, including the seven audio files, the
TEMPO.TXT file and all UNDO files. The 95000
will only play a loop if all audio files are
present, and it may not play as intended if
TEMPO.TXT is not present. If hard drive space
is limited, make sure to copy at least all seven
.WAV files and the .TXT file. You can omit the
.UND files when backing up. However, you will
not be able to undo/redo overdubs from your
last session when you restore the loop onto
your 95000.
6. To disconnect the 95000 from the computer,
follow the computer’s specific ejection
procedure.
