SONGWRITING
Memory Cable™ doesn’t have to be plugged into an amp—just plug into a guitar, bass, or keyboard, and start recording.
IT'S A CABLE

Plug into the output of your PA mixer to record your rehearsals.
COMPUTER RECORDING “INSURANCE.”
Patch your guitar to a computer’s audio interface through the Memory Cable™—if you forget to record-enable a track, think an earlier take was better, or the computer crashes, your performance will still be safely tucked away in the Memory Cable™.

EASY “RE-AMPING.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWE HAVE THE ANSWERS
Does the cable still work if the battery loses power?
Yes. The cable works regardless of battery strength or whether the recorder is enabled.
I’m concerned the cable will affect my guitar sound.
Don’t be. The cable is premium quality. If anything it will probably sound better than what you’re using.
What advantage is there over a regular hand-held recorder?
The biggest advantage is that you have to use a cable anyway, so the recorder is always at your fingertips.
Does the Memory Cable™ work with acoustic guitars?
Yes, if the guitar has a ¼” output jack.
Will you make a model for electronic instruments, like keyboard synthesizers?
The Memory Cable™ is already compatible with almost any instrument or sound source that has a ¼” output jack.
If I record a really great lick, how do I find it?
You can insert a tag after the end of something really cool. This closes that file, and starts a new one. This way you know to always go to the end of a file to find the good stuff.
What happens if the MicroSD card becomes full?
The Memory Cable™ starts deleting the oldest files to make room for more inspiration insurance.
What’s the RTC battery for?
It allows time/date-stamping your files. The cable can still record without this battery.
I have long silent spaces when I record; this wastes a lot of memory.
Select Auto mode instead of Cont(inuous), and the Memory Cable™ will record only when you’re playing.
How can I play back sounds or transfer them to a computer?
The MicroSD card is compatible with MicroSD card readers (typical cost is $2 - $5), which connect to Windows or Mac computers via USB. Some computers have slots for standard-sized SD cards and the package includes a MicroSD-to-SD adapter. You can then copy files from the card to the computer, and play them back through your computer’s sound card. Some smartphones store data on MicroSD cards. You can temporarily insert the Memory Cable’s™ MicroSD card and use the smartphone as a USB driver; consult your phone’s documentation for details on how to do this.
