connection between your computer and HeadRush Looperboard.
To transfer files between HeadRush Looperboard and your computer:
1. Use a standard USB cable to connect HeadRush Looperboard's USB Type-B Port to an
available USB port (type-A) on your computer.

switch.

Windows users: If this is the first time you have connected HeadRush Looperboard to your
computer, you may need to wait a minute while the class-compliant drivers are installed.
6. Open the HeadRush drive. You can now freely click and drag files between HeadRush and
folders on your computer. Note that any changes you make to the contents of your HeadRush
drive will not be final until after the next step, but any changes you make to the files on your
computer will be immediate.
7. To apply your changes to the contents of HeadRush, tap Sync. This will "commit" any
changes you have made. As HeadRush Looperboard analyzes and imports the files, a meter on
the touchscreen will display its progress. The Global Settings menu will reappear once the
process has finished.
To cancel your changes to the contents of HeadRush, tap the back arrow in the upper-left
corner of the touchscreen. This will cancel any changes you have made to the HeadRush drive;
however, any changes made to files on your computer will remain.

Do not disconnect or power off HeadRush Looperboard or your computer during the process. Doing
so may result in damage.
Any files unsupported by HeadRush Looperboard will be ignored.
You cannot transfer a folder or archived folder (such as a .zip) to and from HeadRush Looperboard.
Instead, transfer supported files directly.
