What you will need to update your RD-800
  • RD-800
  • USB Memory ( Roland's M-UF1G or M-UF2G is recommended )
    * The USB Memory need to be formatted on a RD-800.
  • A computer with a USB connector ( Windows, Mac )
  • Update file downloaded from this page


Cautions with the update
  • We recommend that you back up to a USB memory before you perform the update although RD-800 keeps the data with normal updating.
    Refer to the following section from the Owner's Manual for the detailed procedure.
    • Saving System Settings
    • Saving the Sound Settings in a Live Set (Live Set Write)
    • Copying a Live Set File (Live Set File Copy)
  • Never apply this update data to any product other than the RD-800. This update data may destroy the data or system program of other products.
  • Never power-off your RD-800 while the update is in progress!
    If a power failure or similar accident occurs during the update process, the RD-800 won’t be able to start up in normal operating mode. This will require servicing, so you will need to contact Roland service center near you if this occurs.
  • We regret that we are unable to answer questions regarding the update procedure using this system program. Please perform the update responsibly, following the directions given in this document.
