Hi,

I have the opportunity to buy a used BR-80 in excellent condition but the Sonar X1 LE disk is missing.

I have found a Sonar X1 LE starter kit to download here http://www.store.cakewalk.com/b2cus/productinfo.aspx?productid=10-x1g31.00-20e but it costs 60 dollars and a 30 day trial version of X2 to download here http://www.cakewalk.com/products/sonar/web-trial.aspx.

I would rather download an image of the original disk if it is is possible and legal to do so? So does anyone know where I could officially download an image of the disk that comes with the BR-80 (I am not interested in pirated versions).

Failing that if it is not possible to download an official version for use with the BR-80 then can an existing owner please let me know whether the software is required to use the BR-80 in a Windows environment or is it just used like any other DAW software? I have purchased Reaper DAW which is excellent and if the version of Sonar X1 LE that comes with the BR-80 has no BR-80 specific stuff included then I could just as easily use that instead.

Thanks,
Jez

There is nothing BR-80 specific about the Sonar X1 LE supplied with the BR-80, it's just a crippled version of the full X1 with limited tracks and effects.
All you need is the BR-80 USB drivers and the eBand software from the Roland site's BR-80 downloads.
Free "GR-55 FloorBoard" editor software from https://sourceforge.net/projects/grfloorboard/
