Hello...
I just got a Roland S-50 sampler keyboard, sans any kind of operating
software.
I found the updated OS file, S50V20.out, however I don't know how to get the
S-50 to recognize the disk I put that file on (an ordinary IBM PC 1.44 MB
floppy).
I've tried formatting (right term?) a blank disk using the SDISK app (from
the SGroup site), and then putting the S50V20.out file on it, but to no avail.
Any idea what I should try?
Thanks for your time.

Colin,
as I wrote, there is no open question when it comes to Copyrights.
But would you prevent someone who bought a CD of your
music to sell it to a friend or on Ebay when she thinks she is not
going to hear it again.
Does trading of used CDs have a negative or even positive
impact on your income ?
Thanks,
Franz

I probably didn't hit the right key.
Copyright: In times of cheap, easy and high quality copy mechanisms
open to most people, Copyright is more important than ever. No question.
The original question was on sample exchange or trading.
The idea to disallow me to (re)sell the assets I bought is questionable.
This idea certainly comes from the fear, the seller probably still owns
copies of the media he sold.
I do not have insight in these industries, how much it costs to produce
a sample cd, but I know that the costs of a single copy are very low,
the list prices are pretty high, the street prices (e.g. on ebay) are
in between.
I don't have a clear understanding on these topics, so some sort of
discussion would be fine, but probably doesn't fit into emails.
(Some discussions can already be found in the archives, I think)

Steve sent this to me (probably meant for the list - you can't just

It depends on each library. For example, Spectrasonics states:
The licence to use this product is granted for a single user only.
You cannot resell
Metamorphosis as a used product to someone else because this is a
non-transferable license. You cannot electronically transfer or post
these samples
to another person or group of persons over the Internet or place them in a
computer/sampler network to be accessed by multiple users.
In other words, you don't buy the software, or even the samples
themselves. You purchase a licence for yourself only to use the
product.
It can therefore never be re-sold.

Hello to everyone,
I've got a problem and I hope that anyone of you can help me:
I'm looking for a *.mp3 or *.way copy of the W30 Demo Song "...this is
my song for you..." as a gift to a friend of mine who owned a W30 years
ago...
Can anybody help me?
Thanx for your help.
Stefan
