How to Import Custom IR Files:
- Connect SONIC IR to your computer via USB (recognized as a USB disk).
- Drag and drop a 24-bit, 44.1kHz mono WAV file into the USB disk.
- The file name must start with a location number (01-11) (e.g., “06 My IR 4×12.wav”).
- Delete the existing file at the same location number.
- Delete the “FILELIST” file in the USB disk.
- Safely eject and restart the unit.
Note: If a slot has no assigned file, switching to that slot will result in a bypassed sound. Back up factory IR files before making modifications.
