RE: [Harp-L] Yet another Zoom H2 question

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you using the 512-meg card that comes with the unit or a different
(higher capacity) card?
That is good if you don't have to use the card reader. (I obviously haven't
gotten that far in the manual yet.) 
I just grew weary of trying to find a 4 gig card without the reader, but I
for one would be interested in what you determine to be the best settings
for recording as I'm still getting to know my beast also.

I just got an H2 on Wednesday, and I've been reading the manual and just
getting acquainted with it...


Harp content:  my first test was playing my favorite pattern lick using my
Seydel 1847 A harp (volume was too low, so I need to do lots more testing!).



The H2 IS the card reader... you don't need another external card reader or
device.

You connect the USB cable your H2 with the power off then to your
computer... H2 will start up with the USB menu, select STORAGE, and then it
will connect to your computer.  See page 71 of the owner's manual.

I copied all the data (file folders) on the H2 over to my PC's hardrive for
backup purposes, then copied the downloaded SYSTEM.BIN file (containing the
new firmware 1.30 upgrade) to the H2's storage (SD disk) in the root (main)
directory (not into any of the H2 folders).  Just follow the directions on
the H2 website where the download file came from:
