hello I have read that when an improper mouse has been plugged in that it can cause the mouse port on the Roland SXXX to fail or no longer work properly. Is there an easy way to fix this issue ?

S760 RGB to scart cable? Sync lines to make own lead?

by JH

I've posted this up on the yahoo group, but i'll run it again here..... I've contacted a tech with regards to wiring up a lead for my S760 to come out from to RGB socket and then to go to a SCART socket..... This is all really above my head, but my tech is asking questions with regards to SYNC lines..... as i said it means nothing to me, but i did show them the S760 monitor page in my manual, and also the very useful S760 webpage- monitor link.... http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/clouzeau/s760/monitor.htm My tech is asking: "The main question would be, what to do about the VSYNC and HSYNC lines with regards to SCART. It expects a combined composite sync. Really it's just the working pinouts that we need. I've had a look on that S760 monitor page, but there's no definite information regarding SCART. TTL is also 5v digital. SCART is 1v p2p." This means nothing to me.... but can someone please help out if they know the info needed? Its just to wire an RGB lead to SCART socket for the S760..

Intro, DJ-70mkii

by t'byte

Hello List, I just recently joined, and appreciate the presence of this list and the archives so much. I started into the Roland sampler world with a 2nd-hand S-750 two years ago. Later I picked up an S-760. Last week I found a DJ-70mkii. If anyone can help me get the operating system upgraded on the DJ-70mkii, I would be very grateful. I saw on the net that the DJ-70 could boot from an updated operating system if you had the proper boot floppy in the drive on power-up. I can't find any such floppy anywhere. Haven't called Roland US to see if they have the EPROMs in stock still, would that be worth a shot? I currently have v1.00 of the OS, and it seems like it can read Zip and Jaz drives fine, but I'm kinda scared of getting too comfortable and then losing some work. Thanks Tim

by Carlos Hernanz (hcarlos)

Hi everyone, I've recently purchased an old roland S-10 sampler and found that it's rom version it's 1.07. It seems not to support sysex so I really need to upgrade it to a newer version. Do you guys know where can I find either: 1) EPROM upgrade to purchase 2) EPROM binary files of the operating system of the S-10, for me to burn a new eprom? Thanks in advance,

Free to a good home. My zip code is 33701 buyer only needs to pay for shipping. Kevin Kelley p.s. I also have the systems disk.

Roland S-series questions S-550, S-330, etc.

by emailit2＠aol.com

I am curious if one might be able to install a zip drive, or compact flash type reader/writer into the S-550. Has anyone tried to install anything other than the standard floppy drive into a S-550, might it be possible? Also, anyone know about the sequencer software, and dongle for the S-series units. I believe they are labeled for use with their intended sampler model, but could, and or is the software, and dongles interchangeable with other models? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dave

Roland S-10 repair/parts - QD drive needs new belt

by Joshua Homme

Hello, anyone have a line on where I can get a new belt? I attached a pic of the Quick Disk drive removed from the synth. You can see it wraps around the small brass gear to the large plastic gear. I'm assuming any belt will do as long as its a "belt" and not a rubber band and its the correct tension and length. If anyone has any info where I can get one or two or three, that would be great! Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Internet explorer 8 lets you browse the web faster. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9655582

The sequencer package comes in two models: SYS-333 and SYS-553. That is both software and dongle are model specific. You can't actually use SYS-333 with an S-550 sampler. I learned this the hard way. I bought the SYS-333 on eBay and tried to use the dongle with a copy of 553 software. All I got is an error message stating incorect dongle. The sequencer package is a fine piece of software. It allows you to create a sequence and embed sample within it. You can then share your sequence disks with other S-sampler owners. The dongle is only needed for write operations, not for reading. Hope that helps, Jean-Robert
