Hello everybody,
i am a newbee at this list, so please contact me, if anything is not like
you want.
A question about the s760 Sampler:
- Does exist a List of the SystemExclusiveParameter ? Can i use SysEx Datas
to control the S760 in anyway?
Cause i want to Control the S760 via Cubase/MixerMaps, and i have just the
manual from RolandUS.com, where no SysEx-Masseges are explained.
I know there should be some, cause to use "Load Ousnd/Volume via MIDI" i
have to use special SysEx Parameters, but in the Manual are no special
declared.
So, thanx for your Infos and help,
Oliver

XP is your problem. The SDisk utility doesn't work in post ME-type MS OS's.
Do this:
1) Put the .out files on a non-NTFS hard drive. Usually this is your
recovery partition that most people have. The reason you do this is because
in the next step, you won't be able to access NTFS drives.
2) Download the Win98 Boot Disk with SDisk on it.
www.rolandsamplers.org/bin/win98bootdisk.zip
3) Unzip the file (the boot disk maker), and run the file
(win98bootdisk.exe). This process creates your Win98 Boot Floppy.
4) With floppy in your drive, reboot your computer. It should boot off the
floppy, and it is automated to create a RAMDisk and put SDisk, along other
programs, on the RAMDisk (should assign it as the k: drive).
5) After all this finishes, the command line should appear. Type "sdisk"
(without the quotes) and hit ENTER. Use SDisk to write each file to a new
floppy disk. (For instructions how to use SDisk, type "edit sdisk.txt"
(without the quotes) and hit ENTER.)
6) Reboot your computer with no floppies in the drive; it should boot up
normally into XP.

Hi guys,
I know how to access the archive of samples on the website for this list. My question is, after I download the zip files, how do I get the files on to a disk that the roland s-50 will recognize? The pc doesn't like the disks either when I've tried to copy s-50 disks. I'm using windows xp. Thanks for any help.

A solution has already been posted (adding the .out extention), but I was
wondering if the problem above was trying to access the Superdrive with an
application running in Classic.
My (perhaps mistaken) impression was you'd need to actually boot up in OS 9
(not X/Classic) in order to run a pre-OS X app. and have it interface with any
sort of drive (other than the HD) or peripheral hardware. (Note the Pwrbook
running OS 9 worked fine.)
Might that be the problem? (If the .out extension works, I guess not . .
..)
Curious, not a expert,

hi, i would like your advice...
how do i get all my s760 samples which are all on floppy discs off
there and onto a mac?
kontakt now recognizes roland files, so i dont need to convert them,
just get them off the dics? there are many...
for some reason i cant get the laptop- a black g4 running os9, to
recognize the drives? am i using the wrong scsi cables? is there some
driver im missing? etc etc...
any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

S-550 had an ability to create lots of patches from the one sample,
without using anymore sample memory.
Each patch having different start, end and loop points, filters,
envelope,playback and ouput assignments etc.
So it was like having virtual samples, and was a way to split a drum loop up
into smaller
parts without physically cutting the sample.
I tried my hardest but I couldn't get the S760 to do this short of
copying the sample and creating a new patch many years ago.
I am thinking of getting another, and someone told me this had been fixed?
