What you will need to update your RD-2000
  • RD-2000
  • USB Memory ( Roland's M-UF1G or M-UF2G )
    * The USB Memory need to be formatted on a RD-2000.
  • 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-2000 keeps the data with normal updating.
    Refer to the following section from the Owner's Manual for the detailed procedure.
    • Backing Up RD-2000 Data to a USB Flash Drive (Backup Save)
  • Never apply this update data to any product other than the RD-2000. This update data may destroy the data or system program of other products.
  • Never power-off your RD-2000 while the update is in progress!
    If a power failure or similar accident occurs during the update process, the RD-2000 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.

Getting the update file
Please open/extract the downloaded "rd2000_sys_v151.zip" file on your computer to get the update files in the "rd2000_sys_v151" folder.
