Patch File Size + SDHC cards

Post by heliavox »

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had this info. I've read all the .pdf and scoured Rolands website, to no avail.
What are the file sizes of patches and performances saved to the SDHC card?
Also how large of a SDHC card will I have to get if I plan on doing a lot pf programming and sound design.
Thanks a bunch for the help!

- Full system backup is about 4.4MB
- A single patch is about 17kb
- A Performance just references two patches and a few settings, and is even smaller

Even a small SD card will last for ages. I started with a 32GB SDHC card because it was handy, and it will probably outlive me
