Cards need to be formatted to the FAT32 file system. Most cards are pre-
formatted for FAT32. If you need to format an SD Card, attach the 22500 to a
Windows PC via the USB port, and choose “FAT32” under the File System pull-
down menu.
The 22500 does not record or playback without a proper SDHC Card inserted into
its card slot.
SD Card Removal – To remove the SD card, push the card into the 22500, this
releases the card and allows a spring to push it out of the slot part of the way.
Once released, pull the card out the rest of the way.
You can exchange SD cards in the 22500. Please make sure the 22500 is in the
idle state before removing the card; it should not be playing, recording or
overdubbing when you remove the card. If you do remove the card during
recording or overdubbing, you could damage the card’s file system where the
22500 does not properly read or write to the card. If this occurs, connect the
22500 to a Windows PC with a USB cable and run the Scandisk utility on the
card. If the card still does not work, re-format the card for FAT32; unfortunately
you will lose all loops that are on the card.
USB Port – The 22500 is fitted with a USB Port allowing you to move the
22500’s files to and from your computer using a standard USB cable. The USB
Port is located on the rear panel of the 22500, next to the SDHC card slot.
When you connect your 22500 to a computer, through the USB connector, it will
display the SD card inside the 22500 as a “Removable Disk.” You may then copy
files to and from the SD card. The 22500 is automatically recognized by PCs run-
ning Windows XP or later or Macs running OS X.
It is important to turn off write-caching when connecting 22500 to a PC. Follow
these steps to turn off write-caching:
1. In Windows explorer, right-click the Removable Disk (X:) icon and
select Properties.
2. Select the Hardware tab.
3. Under all disk drives, select EHX 22500 Looper USB Device.
4. Select Properties.
5. Select the Policies tab. If the Windows user is not an administrator,
select Change Settings to reveal a Policies tab.
6. Select Quick Removal or Optimize for Quick Removal.
The 22500 records all audio files as wave files (.wav). Any audio program that
accepts wave files as a viable format can play or edit the 22500 audio files. Every
PC and Mac can play wave files. The biggest plus is the ability to insert your
22500 files into your favorite software application.
