Using the V-44SW with Other Devices

You can back up and restore the V-44SW’s settings by
transmitting data between the V-44SW and a computer.

This function requires software supporting backup and restore
procedures.

With the V-44SW, use the “Serial Data Tool” software used in
backing up the V-440HD’s settings (for Windows XP only). This
software can be downloaded from the Roland Systems Group
website.

Connect the computer and the V-44SW as shown in the
diagram below.

Connect the computer using an RS-232C cable (D-Sub, 9-pin
female-female cross cable).

If using the USB port, use a USB-to-serial adapter, and make the
settings necessary to ensure that the serial port functions
normally.

For details of the pin assignments for the V-44SW’s REMOTE
connector, refer to “Connector Specifications: REMOTE
Connector” (p. 62).

You can change the baud rate setting with “4: REMOTE
Baudrate” under “8. System” in the menu.
