yes, i remember well about that 12-bit optimization. there was a great
debate when the 16-bit samplers came out, particularly in the Hip Hop
community, that the 12-bit stuff was way "meatier" than the 16-bit
stuff. that's why the sp1200 drum machine continued to be so popular,
way past its obsolescence. though i haven't fired it up in years i
can't quite bring myself to lose my s550 - even though Kontakt (the
software sampler i use now) can load my old s550 disks.

As far as I recall, s760 composite video output is color.

Yes,there could be a problem with the panel as when I received the S550
the volume knob had come off,indicating it may have taken a hit on the
front
in the post,although the panel does occasionally light up the odd
character sometimes
when its turned on.I have a compatible composite monitor but all I get
is a
blank screen,I also have the original system disks in the wallet and a
mouse.
Also shouldn't the floppy drive click until it gets a disk? as I have
a DJ-70 and
that does until it gets a floppy.
Hi there
First, be aware that you can't just hit "reply" with this group - it
goes to the original sender only.
You need to send posts to:
sgroup(a)sgroup.ca
Re your question:
Yes, you should have a MIDI keyboard or sequencer program attached
(or both) in order to trigger the samples in each patch.

Hello everyone,this is my first post so please bear with me.I
purchased a S550
from ebay a couple of weeks ago with library and mouse.Unfortunatly
when I turned it on
all it does is flash all of its LEDs constantly,the floppy light is
permantly on and the display is blank.
Has anybody got any idea what is wrong with it,someone suggested the
RAM may have become unseated
but I opened it up and everything looks soldered to the
motherboard.Any help will be greatly
appreciated as this is most frustrating! Thanks,Jason
