- Reads BKUP-xxx.HS0 files locally; it covers all 200 kits but does not edit user samples U001 and up.
Field notes
Users first save a backup from the instrument, then open its BKUP-xxx.HS0 file from the Roland/HPD-20/Backup folder; edits download as a new backup number, leaving existing backups untouched. The editor exposes both layers for each pad, kit effects and per-pad assignments, while warning that loading a backup replaces everything on the instrument; user samples and some effect knobs remain outside the current editing scope.
