I have a working S750 for sale cheap $25.00 takes it. The S750 needs a replacement backlight but it can be viewed in dim light now or with a monitor. This one appears to only have 2 megs installed. I am located in Florida 33701 if anyone is interested. PS I still have a 330 that needs a drive available for free + the cost of shipping if anyone is interested.

I think it is an Emulator II, as you can verify by watching this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDxOhnL7pjs the first sounds you hear in this video are the same of your mp3...

I am a bit of a newb when it comes to the W-30. I would like some info or steps on hooking up the W-30 to an external sequencer so I can record the Midi data to a pc from the W-30 - then trigger the sounds on playback of that captured data on the W-30 using it's sounds. These are the things I have: Cakewalk UM-2G USB midi interface. Sonar 8 Creative X-fi Audio card. If you or anyone can put me in the right direction on details on how this can be achieved that would be great. I have been experimenting with settings but with minimal luck so far. Cheers!

I'm not the most experienced sampler or sequencer user here so I'm sure others will join in, but are you able to save the sequences in the W-30 onto floppy disk? Didn't the W-30 have a floppy disk drive? If you can save them onto a DOS-formatted disk drive in the standard MIDI format (*.mid) you're all set, but I realize that's a huge 'if.' Someone on our list wrote a program that allowed PM users to read and write Roland-formatted floppies, although I don't think it allowed transferring files from DOS format to Roland format. If you can save to floppy I'd be surprised if there isn't some way to transfer your sequences to *.mid format. Failing that, how complex are you sequences? How many MIDI channels, how many instruments, song patterns, verses, choruses, etc.? I've never tried moving from one sequencer to another by hooking the first sequencer's MIDI OUT to the second sequencer's MIDI IN and the playing on the first while recording on the second. I imagine modern sequencers can record on more than one MIDI channel at a time but I really don't know. Have you tried transferring your sequences this way? I had all my old sequences in Dr. T's Keyboard Controlled Sequencer (KCS) on the Atari ST computer but fortunately you can DOS format those floppies and then save sequences to *.mid format, which any modern sequencer will read, so I was able to transfer all my old sequences over, but of course there's a big difference between something in software on an Atari and something in a hardware sequencer. I'm sure I haven't helped - just more questions - but at least we'll get some more detail on what you've tried and what hasn't worked.

To put in short it was all trial and error with midi settings on the Sonar 8 side of things. I have a method down on making W-30 formatted discs into images to transfer to the pc etc. I was able to revive some 9 year old W-30 discs that way. Yes, the W-30's have a 720k floppy drive - it's the same type of drive as used on the Commodore Amiga's, which I started to sample and sequence on way back when =). I also believe the Amiga's had utilz for the W-30 file system etc. You brought up a good point of recording sequences back and forth to hardware. I will look into trying that out at some stage! Ah yes - I remember the days of the Atari ST and how it ruled with all you need built into one machine. Dr T's KCS had an Amiga version as well. Cheers!
