Roland is proud to announce that the widely popular EDIROL R-09 WAVE/MP3 Recorder is now compatible with 8-GB SD High Capacity (SDHC) cards. Thanks to this new update the EDIROL R-09's solid set of functions now includes manual file splitting-activated by a single button push while the R-09 is in RECORD mode.

"We are always looking for ways to increase the functionality and capability of our products," states EDIROL Product Manager, Michael Barrett. "This new update gives users the seamless file-splitting option they've been asking for."

There are many practical circumstances where immediate file splitting is absolutely advantageous and necessary. This new feature allows R-09 users to easily demarcate unique interview subjects and/or audio subjects without interrupting the recording.

Barrett explains, "For instance, if you are interviewing three people at the same time, each time a new interviewee starts talking, you hit the button to trigger a new file. This takes a lot of the aggravation out of post-production."

The EDIROL R-09 is fast becoming the hand-held recorder of choice for professionals everywhere. From musicians, podcasters and courtroom lawyers to college students, reporters and business people, the R-09 offers intuitive, high-quality recording for everyone---at an affordable price.

For customers updating from v1.10 or before, the v1.30 added features are included in the v1.20 update.
