S-760 SCSI troubles

by Bruce Riley

I was given a S-760 ( with ctr/mouse ), PS Systems rackmount containing Syquest 44mg and a cd rom (without the cd tray insert). This system works great, except the cd rom is usless without the tray. I want to expand the SCSI chain but can not. Even a Iomega 100meg zip between the S-760 and the Syquest locks up the sampler. Not to mention my attempts to add a computer. -I've changed the SCSI ID # on the S-760 to all available #s, no luck. -Syquest ID 5 -started with really old computers, last being a dell optiplex gx240 (I'm looking for a mac) Maybe someones kid can help me.

Roland S760 outputs

Hi. Not sure if this group is still active. Hope it is! Is there anyone who can help me sorting the outputs on an S760. Trying to get individual patches to route to outputs 1-4 but some weird things are going on.

Translator - looking GOOD!

by Colin Shapiro

Update on the recent discussion about converting S550 disks to SoftSampler formats. I did a few tests with the Mac beta of Translator and it's looking really good. It just munches through all the old .OUT files in seconds!! Thanks to Garth and the team for breathing new life into our valuable old disks and samples - I'm sure he'll announce when it's complete.

Any S-news out there?

by Colin Shapiro

Hi folks, There hasn't been any action on this group for months so I thought I'd get something going.... I hardly use my S550 anymore but I have literally hundreds of floppy disks of sounds. It seems a shame for all of these to not be used anymore. This is really just laziness and ease of use - I work with Logic Pro 8 and tend to use their EXS24 sampler exclusively. I have the old S-Mac set of utilities for reading and writing S550 disks and sometimes use them to just lift sounds off the floppies, for import into EXS24. This works okay for very simple things like drum samples and hits. I also use CDXtract and sometimes Translator to convert S760 disks and these work well. I know it's possible to do a convert load of S550 disks into S760, then convert via CDXtract to EXS24, but this is is long process. To add to this, my S760 has suddenly become sick and says I only have 1.2 MB RAM - I actually have 32MB. (But that's another problem....) Has anyone come across new (or old) utilities for bringing S550 sample disks into the 21st century? Something to read and convert these precious old treasures..... Regards - Colin

ORIGINAL Roland disks for sale.

by dennis barton

I have six boxes each with about 10 disks, that are the ORIGINAL Roland sample floppies, bought from Roland, on Roland media. They cost a fortune way back when, and are all really well done. They are designed for s-550 and s-330 and w-30, but as I recall can be convert loaded into s760, s770 and s750 as well. Maybe also DJ70! As-is, because they are floppies. Every one of the samples I tested, worked fine, so I'd expect no issues. Physically in excellent shape. Even still have the little ID cards. Yes, you could download and make disks, but the online archive seems to have a few problem disks, and this will save you TONS of time.

Re: [sgroup] contributions

Well, it all seems a little silly to me since our own group has had the Roland and a whole bunch of other sample libraries available for download for years: http://www.generalconcepts.com/sgroup/archive/samples/ BTW, David Green's Lil Chips site is still up and running, just in stealth mode: http://www.lilchips.com/roland/roland/index.asp Some of David's S- images were corrupt and didn't load correctly but I can't remember which ones.

quick comment on samples

by Denny Daughters

Hi guys, Just put the files on the internet and let us download. If Roland had a problem before this, we would have known about it. They don't care about the old software. They're not going to personally come after one or 2 individuals in a lawsuit, they can't prove what samples you own or don't own. Later Denny

Re: [sgroup] S550 LIBRARY

by Nic Grant

to quote steve landay: => This is a good example of my point I think. => => According to some, you have no legal way of procuring the original => programming/software (of which is no longer being produced) to make => the thing work at all aside from sampling your own samples, unless => there is still a company in business which you can purchase from. Roland may no longer be offering the sample library for sale, but there are other soundware manufacturers that do or software that will convert from other formats, so there are still ample ways of putting those vintage units to work! Ebay is also useful for picking up soundware too. Regards, Nic. -- Nic Grant, Soft Audio, nic(a)softaudio.com, GSM: +353 87 2300 914

S770 floppy drive

by Michael Lumb

My S770 needs a little love, I need to figure out why the MSX mouse I have won't work and it has been suggested that it could be issues with the connections INSIDE. So I figure if I am gonna open it up I would test everything else first and see when other work it might need. I usually use my SCSI Jaz disk to save and load samples, but floppy can be convieneient sometimes. I noticed that no matter what I do I can't get the internal floppy to read or write to a floppy disk. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the 770 will read and write to 1.4Mb disks. Is this true and what type of floppy drive do I need to replace the one inside the 770? Can I use any drive or is it Roland Specific? Thanks

SP700 memory- where to get

by myrios

Does anyone know anything about the type of memory chips (SIMM?) that are required for the SP700? Can they be found cheaply anywhere? Can I use something I might find at an electronics/computer warehouse such as Fry's? I have 16MB installed and from the manual it looks like I need two 8MB SIMMs to brinG it up to the max of 32MB. - Jeff

Re: [sgroup] S760 memory problem

by Colin Shapiro

Thanks for the reply Steve. This list really HAS been quiet.... Just for the record, the 2 MB of RAM lives on the Motherboard. I'd completely forgotten about that but found it when searching through the manuals. It's interesting....there are 4 possible configs: If you add an 8MB chip into slot A, you'll have 8MB plus the 2MB onboard = 10MB total. If you add a 16MB chip into slot A, you'll have 16MB plus the 2MB onboard = 18MB total. If you add an 8Mb plus a 16MB, plus the 2 MB built-in = 26Mb total. For some reason, if you use 2 x 16MB, the built-in 2MB is not used = 32MB This comes from the Basic Manual. So, I *DID* expect to see at least 2MB always, but certainly not 1MB, as this is not really possible. It supports your theory that the logic is faulty, not the RAM. Oh damn..... I think I'm in the market to buy a 2nd hand S760 Regards - Colin - - - - - - - - - - - - >Hi Colin, > >Sorry to hear about your trouble.

S760 memory problem

by Colin Shapiro

Hi folks, My trusty old S760 has suddenly become very ill. I have 2 x 16 MB RAM chips but suddenly I am getting messages that there is no memory left. The System parameters section seems very odd - sometimes it says I have 2 MB and sometimes only 1 MB. The wave memory seems to vary from boot to boot. Sometimes I have less than 1 sec (!!!) and sometimes about 8 sec. I have tried the following: - Rebooted many times from different system disks. - Removed the RAM, and replaced it - Swopped the RAM chips around. - Tried with only one RAM chip in slot A When I remove the RAM entirely, I get the onboard 2MB RAM that one would expect. So....is my RAM faulty or is there some kind of problem with the main motherboard? Can one even get replacement RAM in this century? I'd be grateful for any feedback and suggestions. Regards - Colin

help me choose a soft sampler

by dennis barton

I was a Roland sampler user, then converted to Directwave. I liked Directwave because it is multiimbral, and allowed each part to be changed via program changes. These are essential features. (I'd love to get a Roland s7xx in software, but doesn't exist) I want to change from Directwave to a larger company, so as to get some support and an upgrade path, but it's hard to look at soft samplers one after another to find what seems right. Kontakt is too big. Any suggestions???? I'd really appreciate intelligent suggestions! |_e_/ Dennis Barton <db(a)skylab2000.com> ) skylab2000 ~\/\ Brainforest Productions, Los Angeles / http://skylab2000.com

S760 remote control with MIDI or rc100 input?

by bf

Hello, I'd like to remote control my s760's front panel buttons. Just like the rc100 does, but using midi. The best would be that some sysex could control them, but i wasn't able to find these commands on the sysex chart. Then, i was wandering what kind of signal emits the rc100 (that i don't own), so i could eventually build a converter that will translate from midi to rc100 input on the s760. I'm far from an electronic expert but i can use a solder iron... Simply using the rc100 will not do it for me, as i want to be able to record the remotely pushed buttons on a midi sequencer... Any idea is welcome Many thanks, Boris

S760's power supply

by Nic Grant

Can anyone with an S760 (in the US or Canada) tell me whether it sports a switching power supply - ie. will it accept all voltages from 115 to 250V? Or is it like other Roland gear where they put in specific power supplies for the country of sale? I'm looking to pick up one of these on ebay, but if there are any sgroup members who want to dispose of their S760, please feel free to email me (provided it will do 240V of course) Regards, Nic. -- Nic Grant, Soft Audio, nic(a)carrot.com.au, GSM: +353 87 2300 914

RE: [sgroup] S770 Mice

by dennis barton

With Halion, can you use patch changes to load the equivalent of a s7xxx performance? For example, I have a drum kit as a performance in the s760, and a patch change switches it all to a different drum set. Easy in Halion?

S770 Mice

by Michael Lumb

I just recently purchased my Roland S770 Sampler and LOVE it. However I have been searching for a mouse ever since. I read that the Roland S770 uses an MSX compatible mouse. After alot of searching I found a NEOS MS-10 MSX mouse on ebay and purchased it. When I plug it in and activate the mouse the cursor just darts to the bottom right and I can't do anything with the mouse. The right button will scroll through the jump menu though. I looked further in the S770 manual and noticed the it says it is compatible with the S550 mice, but nothing else. Is my problem an incompatible mouse or a BAD mouse port on my sampler? Thanks Michael

by JMD JMD

Hello I put on my site a S7xx CDRom image of some of my S760 samples. I made all the samples from synth (K4R, U220, HS5, MU100R) or from freeware VST (B-Station, Crystal). I put the sounds as freeware. This CDRom incude : - 7 volumes - 62 patches - 228 samples (309.2 sc) You can find the CDRom image on my site : http://jm1200.free.fr/index.php?r=7 If you like it (or not) please let me know.

convert s330/550 floppies?

by dennis barton

I have a stack of Roland s330 floppies I want to save on a hard drive. I could load them into the sampler on by one, save to a zip disk, and then convert using CDxtract to something like Akai format. This works, but the problem is that this is too slow for the amount of disks I have. Anyone have a better way? [Prefer to retain the formatting and multi-sampling, so writing to wavs isn't ideal.] |_e_/ Dennis Barton <db(a)skylab2000.com> ) skylab2000 ~\/\ Brainforest Productions, Los Angeles / http://skylab2000.com

Some history & best way to archive S-330 floppy disks to extract the samples.

by David A.Roth

Some background history. In the early 1990s I encouraged developers on the SGROUP mailing list to create what became known as the SAMDISK (SDISK, SMAC, etc) utility. My intention was not to propose anything fancy, just something to allow a track by track copy of the contents of a floppy disk for the Roland samplers to a single file, so it could be transferred via modem and of course the Internet. Then with software on the user's computer, to be able to re-create that entire disk. This was a way for someone on one side of the global to be able to share their samples they created with others. The method until then, was to actually mail blank floppy disks to a user on the SGROUP list, they could make copies and postal mail them back. SAMDISK worked fine, as their were versions created for the Mac, PC and others. Years later, I saw somewhere on the Roland web site they had adapted the SAMDISK format. I didn't ask for too much in the ways of features for this utility initially because at the time Roland wasn't releasing the file format of the disk or how the samples were constructed either. I figured if I made my proposal too lofty, it might not ever get done. I even called Roland to ask for info at the time, and was told the software development was done in Japan so they didn't even have source code to give my any pointers to pass on to developers in terms of file formats, length and purpose of the fields. Of course, I thought at the time it would have been nice to be able to extract specific samples from a Roland floppy disk, and do something with it, but what? In the early 1990s, many computers didn't have a sound card provided at the time of purchase except for the Mac. The concept of the Digital Audio Workstation was still very early and very expensive. I was very surprised at how the developers on the SGROUP took this concept and ran with it. Not only were versions created on several platforms to do as I hoped, they took it further to be able to actually extract a sample right from the floppy disk. I have really only used the SMAC for the Macintosh version. This brings us pretty much up to date. I still have my Roland S-330 in my studio along with about 200 floppy disks in Roland S-330 format. Many of them are samples I personally created and wish to archive them and put them in a modern generic universal format such as WAV and/or AIFF. Others contain samples I tweaked in some way, and some are from the old Roland Library when I bought my Roland S-330 that you were allowed to copy from the authorized dealer. With 200 floopy disks, this can be a big project. I also realize that configurations and settings unique to the Roland S-330 will be lost in the transfer. Please, I'm not asking once again developers on the SGROUP to create another project such as the Roland S-330 OS soft emulator. Really, I'm not. :-) What is the most up to date version of the SAMDISK utility regardless of platform to use that will do the best job of extracting samples? Mac, Windows? Which name and version software? If I recall correctly, the SAMDISK would create an image file, then you use the SAMDISK to open that image file and extract the samples, is this correct? I'm asking because I figure I might as well archive the image file. It is kind of amazing to realize that all 200 Roland sample S-330 floppy disks will easily be able to fit on a single CD-ROM (samples and image file), which costs less than what I paid for a single floppy disk at the time I bought the sampler. :-) Thanks in advance, David A.

Hi Garth I checked my site and it seems not always work well: I dont know why. Anyway, the direct link is: http://jm1200.free.fr/binaries/S760CTDIF.zip (I added the source file to the Zip) I also made bug report with examples few months ago (B.R. 2586/2610).

I don't know what bug you are referring to; if there was one, it was fixed a long time ago. As we say many times, if you find a bug, just let us know by filling out a Bug Report www.chickensys.com/translator/bugreports and give an example. We'll be right on it and fix it ASAP and put up a public or private build ASAP. We always do that; it's strange to hear reports that a bug is persistent. If in doubt, just contact us.

Any unique sounds avail. for SP-700?

by seamonstersounds＠verizon.net

First-time poster, late to the party. A friend just gave me her old SP-700 (maxed 32MB). I feel like an archeologist, pouring through the SGroup archives, deciphering the cryptic manual, and playing Dr. Frankenstein with SCSI peripherals that haven't been out of the closet in years. While I suspect that I may have enough of the right hardware puzzle pieces to make it all work, my question boils down to: is it worth pursuing at all? That is, are there any interesting sounds out there that are uniquely available in Roland S-series format? (Unusual, weird, or otherwise special?) If there aren't, I should prolly remain content with my E6400 Ultra, K2500X, and the few soft sampler progs I have so far, and just try to ignore the SP-700... right? Bonus question: Am I right in thinking that, using the SMac utility program (or something else?), I can make images of the several ZIP disks of S-format samples that I got, and burn them to CD-R's that the SP-700 will read? Extra-bonus question: Anyone have a 600MB SCSI HD they'd like to part with for next to nothing? (I'm in So Cal.) Cheers, Hoagie Hill http://www.seamonstersounds.com --

replace sampler with VST?

by dennis barton

I have an s760. I'm thinking of using laptop instead, solely as a sampler playback device, driven by a separate sequencer. Anyone done this? Especially interested if you have converted your Roland library, or just loaded a soft sampler with the same note numbers to not have to change the MIDI being sent. |_e_/ Dennis Barton <db(a)skylab2000.com> ) skylab2000 ~\/\ Brainforest Productions, Los Angeles / http://skylab2000.com

Re: [sgroup] s-330 monitor, which one?

by Jesse Segovia

Any cheap CGA monitor if you can get the Roland conversion cable - this cable works with the S-550 and the S-760 so I assume you can use it with the 330 as well. You probably also have an S-Video connection so you can use it with any S-Video monitor, too, but only in Black&White, so you may not want to go that route. The 330 and the 550 don't have RCA video jacks, right?

by Simon Flinn

Hi People! I'm selling my perfect Roland S750, maximum ram ( 18Mb!! ), SCSI, individual o/p's, colour external screen and the mouse, a winning combination. Very little use, I don't use it enough to justify keeping it. I'll list it before putting it onto Ebay. It's located in London UK but can ship easily around the country and into mainland Europe. I have a couple of sample CD's to go with this, and the OS floppy. Looking for £250 + shipping. No reasonable offer refused. If you're interested, please get in touch! Photo's can be supplied by email or I will be putting up a gallery on my webspace in the next day or so. Thnx, Simon Excuse the digital nature please analog folks : D but I'm hoping there may be some interest amongst the subscribers.

Re: [sgroup] S50 sample to S550 convertion

by Terje Winther

At last - I´ve made it. My problem was this; I didn´t understand that the S-550 system disk had to be in the sampler in order to gain access to the correct menu! I always had the S-50 disk in the S-550 sampler when trying to convert and/or load. Simple - but yet so difficult! 1. Start the S-550 using the CD-5 system disk 2. Menu "disk", and choose "convert" with the system disk still inside. 3. After a while, the options apprear 4. Choose Load -> S-50 (or Convert -> S50) Execute! Then you can save the contents of the memory in the standard way to a S-550 floppy. Thanks for all the help. tw. :) "Those great moments come when musicians are playing together..." (Bob Moog)

Re: Emphasis curve (was:Re: [sgroup] Happy New Year!)

I haven't come across it >before. > >Also, how do you get samples from a Roland CD ROM disc into your computer? Hi Peter, MESA: File format for the Akai S3000, separate files for the programs (.s3p) and the samples. To get samples in to your computer is easy. On Mac (which is what I use), I open CDXtract. I then insert the Roland CD-ROM, and when the Mac gives me an alert, I choose <ignore> I then select <Search for sampler discs> in CDXtract, and it finds the CD, and displays all the data on the CD. It's then just a matter of choosing what you want to convert. You can also create new multi-layered programs, combine programs with crossfades or velocity switches and preview samples directly in the app. I think there's a demo which you can test for yourself...

s760 Panel or mouse MIDI control?

by BF

Hello, Does anyone knows if it is possible to control the front panel buttons or the mouse clics & movements of the Roland s760 with MIDI? I mean: like using a rc-100 remote but with Midi instead. What kind of information does the rc-100 transmit using its specific cable? Midi? I heard that the s330 transmits midi sysex informations while it is controlled by the mouse and is able to receive this midi back & recognize it (i haven't got a s330 myself to try it though), so maybe there's an hidden sysex implementation of these controls in the s760 too? I tried looking at the s760 sysex documentation (thanks again to Ingo) & didn't found anything, but maybe i'm just blind... ...any idea?

Re: [sgroup] Re: SCSI-splitting

by CCartCat＠aol.com

Not an expert either, so please take w/big grain of salt: My understanding is one should always turn on a SCSI peripheral device (hard drive, CD drive/burner) before turning on the master device (computer, sampler). And turn off the master device before turning off the peripheral. So how would a SCSI splitter allow for that if either master device was running? Switching from one master device to another would seem to be as if you're: --Turning off the peripheral before turning off the master you're deselecting with the switcher. --Turning on the peripheral after turning on the master device you're selecting with the switcher. You probably already plan to cut off one master before switching and only starting the other master after you've switched. That is, switch masters while both are turned off. That may work, I dunno. My longwinded point is: switching on the fly while any master device was running would seem unadvisable. HTH, K.

Re: sgroup Digest, Vol 12, Issue 3

by Novice

Hi Bernie: Thank you for the guidance. I thought about that option as well, however there would be no SCSI "space" for the computer to "talk" to the samplers (since both of the external hard drive's SCSI connectors would be used. My only solution would probably be to use a SCSI splitter cable of some sort so I can get the computer in the mix.

Re: [sgroup] I just won a Roland DA_400

by Bernie Maier

Jesse Segovia: > But would any DAC convert the two digital outs to four audio outs? :) I guess so: each digital out will be stereo, so that's equivalent to for analog audio outputs. But it seems like a reasonable buy because I don't know if there are any convenient converters that would do the simple 2 digital to 4 analog, and if that's what you want and all you need, why not go for it?

It converts the two digital outs on the S-760 into four more audio outs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLAND-DA-400-4-CHANNEL-D-A-CONVERTER-FOR-S-760_W0QQite… So how did I do? Is $65 plus shipping a decent price for this unit? And if anyone else on the list was bidding, sorry! Jesse

DJ 70 MKII. Is it a S-760?

by ML|bytesizenun

Hi everyone! I was shocked to see an S-Group digest in my inbox so I thought I'd jump on it. Come to think of it, it may be mys first post so hi again! I picked up a DJ70MKII just this last fall and have had loads of fun with it so far. I can't put my finger on what resources are useful at S-Group (and elsewhere) for it though (if there even are any). Is the DJ70MKII an S-760 in a keyboard format? I'm just trying to figure out what extra tools are at the ready for this. Thanks everyone!

Hello, I'm new to the list. Got a s760 recently & looking to share infos & experiences. I'm currently trying to configure my pcr30 midi controller to control s760's partial's parameters... I don't even know if it is possible, though I've been programming several pcr's setup for other synths including sysex, here i'm kinda stuck... I'm desperately looking for the SYSex implementation guide for the s760 (it was removed from the downloadable pdf manual from Roland's site). I read from google that someone has posted the same request here some months ago... I believe my savior's name's Ingo... :o) Please, Ingo, if you read this, would you send me a copy of the s760's sysex impl? 1000 thanks. These samplers sound so nice! Greets from Belgium, Boris

Roland S-50

by K2com＠aol.com

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. _Kyle

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.

Re: [sgroup] sample trading

by Franz Stadler

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) Franz >Colin Shapiro wrote: >This is certainly an interesting topic.

Re: [sgroup] sample trading

Steve sent this to me (probably meant for the list - you can't just hit <reply> ) >What if he sells his original software and buys other peoples >original software? Would that be considered illegal? I ask because >people buy pre-owend music CDs all the time on half.com etc. 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. Regards - Colin

For Sale UK S750 18MB Bright LCD almost Mint on eBay closes 3rd Oct

by robwilljy

Hi folks, Up on eBay UK is this superb example used only as a reserve machine in a non-smoking studio. Very little use, hence sparkling bright LCD. I'm afraid it is collection only from Maidenhead Berkshire UK...about 20 miles West of London ...junction 8 on M4. The eBay number is 7352990422 and my ebay id is robwilla. Here's the link ... hope it works! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7352990422 There is NO RESERVE and a start price of 199 GB Pounds. Loads of extras including manual, mouse, mono monitor, CD drive, 128MB Optical drive and all SCSI cables. Op System floppy and 4 x 128MB Optical disks with mainly percussion and Drum and Bass loops. I understand it can be used with a ScSI Iomega Zip drive as well. I also have a colour monitor separately available, but need to find the connection lead first! I could be persuaded to deliver in the South East UK area at cost, but definitely not postage I'm afraid. Could you direct all emails through eBay messageing system please so I get the question quickly. If the item doesn't sell on eBay send me an email...I may sell off ebay later after the close of auction.

S760: Any SysEx-Commands/Control Parameter?

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.

I'm using >windows xp. Thanks for any help. 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.

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, Kevin Seward

s760 to mac

by frost

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. ben ___________________________________________________________ $0 Web Hosting with up to 200MB web space, 1000 MB Transfer 10 Personalized POP and Web E-mail Accounts, and much more.

S760 sample organistion query

by Colin Chung

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? Colin

Re: [sgroup] s760 to mac

by Tim Goodwin

Ok, it has been a very long time since I have done this but as best I can recall. you can connect your mac via daisey-chain to your S-760 as long as your mac is the last on the chain. There is a specific boot sequence but I can not remember if the S-760 or Mac have to boot first. Once you have established the connection you can use Peak to download Performances or Patches (other things may also be possible). I do not believe that you can copy items directly from the drives but things may have changed since I did this. Essentially what you are doing is establishing a direct connection to your S-760 for purposes of editing and transferring Performances/Patches between the Mac and S-760. Also, if you save Performances or Patches to an external Roland formatted disk (you can get up to 500mb on one disk). You can then connect this drive directly to your Mac via SCSI. Again there is a boot sequence but what you are going to want to do is launch Toast, then turn on the SCSI drive. If all goes well you want to perform a "Device Copy" (I hope that is right) with Toast and burn a CD. This will give you a Roland formatted CD. If Kontakt reads Roland formatted disks then you are home free, if not then use something like CDXtract or Translator to translate the patches to Kontakt format.

Qustion about the 760

by Edd

Hello John, Yes I own two 760's I love them. I am not sure your still into this 760 deal or not but I'll ask my question anyway. I use mine for drums and bass mostly some Elect Piano. I play live and the Drums are good mostly just a trap set some cym sounds I have to use the M-GS64 as a 2 sec sample on the 760 is just to long for a ride cym to use. All I want today is how can I control cutoff and resonance per each patch? Via my cakewalk. I did read in the manual that this could be done I just didn't get it. I read on an old sgroup that some guy was doing this. How he didn't say in fact this is what he said >Does anyone know if I can control cutoff and resonance from within >my sequencer (cakewalk 6.0) by using sysex? If so how do I >program it? I do it all the time on my 760...I'm not sure about the 550...anyone? anyway thanks any help would be good.. Edd

Roland S50 frozen

by Rene

Hello everybody ! Does anyone knows how to handle a crazy Roland S50 ? The problem is that when loading process from disk drive is complete (OS 2.0 with samples), the S50 becomes locked: no buttons operate, no sounds from audio output, nor MIDI OUT messages ... all seems to be frozen. May be floppy drive so the loading process has failed ? I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance, rene

Boss sampler question

by EMarshall7＠aol.com

Hi folks - I have an older Boss sampler (Dr. Sample SP-202) that uses Smartmedia cards. First, which cards do I need : 4mb at 3.3v or 5v?? And then, any recommendations where to find them? I've tried looking on EBay, which offers few 5v, and many 3.3v cards. Thanks! Ed Marshall

using PCM CARDs?

by dennis barton

Has anyone experimented with using memory cards with a SCSI card reader on the Roland S-series? This is an s760. I have tried it with 2 SCSI card readers with a PCMCIA card to Compact Flash adaptor and 32 m CF card and no luck. :( Sampler cannot format the cards, so they can't be written to. I'm wondering if this is hopeless, or if I should try to get an actual PCMCIA memory card to try, thus eliminating the adaptor/CF card variable. Anyone done ANYTHING like this before? |_e_/ Dennis Barton <db(a)skylab2000.com> ) skylab2000 ~\/\ Brainforest Productions, Los Angeles / http://skylab2000.com

S-760/SRV-3030D prices ?

by Tim Goodwin

Hello I find myself in a position where I am forced to sell my S-760 and SRV 3030D digital reverb So I know whether or not this painful undertaking would be worth the grief, I thought I would ask if anyone knows what a decent price to ask would be. I checked on ebay and they were so cheap they seemed to be almost giving them away. Anyway the S-760 is equipped with the optional digital board and includes an RC-100. I've got a bunch of other studio stuff I'm needing to sell if anyone wants to contact me off list. Thanks Tim

Re: [sgroup] S-330 ===> MOTU MachFive?

by Colin Shapiro

PS: If you get S760 data onto a Zip disk, one can make a disk image from that and burn to CD. However, once you have the data in disk image format, you may be able to access directly from there into MachFive.

S-330 ===> MOTU MachFive?

by David A. Roth

I recently got MachFive a universal sampler made by MOTU which runs on the Mac. It supports many formats, including Roland S7xx. I was thinking about how to transferred into MachFive. I don't have any Roland S7XX samplers, but I do think they can read S-330/S-50 disks? Maybe the best route is to use the SamDisk utility and read in the S-330 disks and re-configure them in MachFive? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. David david(a)roth-music.com

More experimental SCSI/IDE

by Chris Crosskey

Hi folks, following last nights resounding null result I've had a couple of thoughts. Firstly it is possible that the CF card I had was supposed to be 3V3 rather than 5V in which case it's as dead as a Dodi... ALso we use IDE flash drives at work adn have a few corrupt ones lying around so I'm taking them home (I've had previous success reinitialising them with an Atari Falcon so I tend to get to do this as a way of fixing them anyway) and I'll try running them through. These drives need no driver for normal IDE uses so I live in hope that they'll work OK. If they do then as long as I don't want an enormous capacity (I don't, I want robust and light portability) then these drives are pretty cheap, 32Mb would be about 15UKP or so, with the SCSI-IDE adapter costing me about the same.... Now I know that 30 UKP for 32MB is rubbish by modern standards it will be a lighter adn more robust than any normal hard-drive, all I need to get in them is the 18Mb load for the S750 and the 4Mb for the JS30, I don't plan on reloading during a gig so it all goes in as one setup...... chrisc

Experiments with SCSI-IDE-CF

by Chris Crosskey

All the bits I've been buying on ebay have turned up and I will try to post initial results tonight.... basically the idea is to see wether it is feasible to use a SCSI-IDE adapter (Yamaha) attached to an IDE-Compact Flash adapter with a CF card in it as a drive on S7nn series samplers. Initial experiment will be with a JS30 as I have one set up at home, I will also be trying it with an S750, and as a final shot will try to get an S750 to boot-load from it as well as hosting to the JS30 as a hard-drive..... ie if I have both the JS30 and the S750 connected to it will it be able to boot the S750, load in 18Mb to the S750 then load 4Mb into the JS30..... Fingers crossed.... chrisc

Hi folks, I'm Chris, an EE from Oxford in England and the proud owner of a JS-30 (which arrived alst week) and an S750 (which arrived today).... I got them cos I used to won an S770 and although I never used it for much I remembered how much I liked the way it sounded also I loved the monitor output/mouse combo for editing on it. ANyway... plea/question time... My S750 has come with several OS disks up to version 1.06. WHat is the latest (or best if different) OS for the S750 and can anyone in Oxford/Abingdon/Didcot/Wantage/Witney let me copy there's... I can drop round this evening with the unit to copy the disk .... also does anyone know if sdiskw will work with USB floppy drives cos my laptop doesn't have an onboard floppy..... aslo is there a hack to put an internal SCSI device in the S750?... I was thinking of getting a SCSI flash-card reader of some description and sticking a 64Mb card in there as I would hope it'll be more reliable than a small (old) harddrive.. BTW JS-30's seem to be happy using Panasonic PD-drives as hard-drives (mine certainly sat there last night adn formatted one cheerfully enough) has anyone ever got a PD to work as both an MO and a CDROM simultaenously using the LUN switching or is that beyond the SCSI spec of an S-series? It didn't want to know about a 4Gb Micropolis I tried it with (bit on the big side I guess) but was happy with a truly ancient 160Mb Quantum.... Am I right in thinking that as long as I change the ID on one of the samplers then I could plug them both into the same drive as long as they don't simultaneously try to access it?... chrisc

I would imagine that the probability of an sgroup list member being anywhere physically near to you would be pretty slim. I would not be surprised if I was the closest to you (I'm in Dublin) Dunno why you would need an adaptec card to copy one disk though... All you need to do is create a bootable dos disk and boot from it with yer old pentium, assuming it has an ide floppy in it. If you're really stuck and can't get sorted, drop me an email off list with your address and I'll post out a copy of V2.25 to you on floppy. Nic.

RE: Re :[sgroup] The resonant filter

by Detko, Ralph: OS_TDO

Basically, cutoff is the treble control, resonance adds harmonics and emphasis to the filter envelope as it is triggered. If you use basic waveforms (saw triangle square), this is how you shape the sound in the frequency spectrum. For instance you can't do a gong sound without the resonance. If you back off the cutoff (fewer high freqs) and increase the resonance, you should start to get overtones. As you increase the resonance the overtones will start to dominate the sound and the fundamental will disappear. It will start to sound like it's underwater. If you apply this to a complex sound such as a voice or instrument sample, you will either remove the high freqs (with loss of loudness) or make it sound like it's coming over a telephone (or worse). Perhaps a useful application is to apply a slow LFO to the filter cutoff (try this with drums) with the resonace set so that the sound doesn't start to oscillate (and ruin your mix) as more high freqs are added. The thing about the 760 filter is that is will self-oscillate, meaning the annoying whistling sound you get when you crank the resonance full. Back off the cutoff to make the sound more manageable. Also keep the velocity sensitivity of the filter down a bit till you get a handle on it.

Re: Re :[sgroup] The resonant filter

by niko_s＠web.de

Use the resonant Filter in combination with the ADSR envelope or LFOs. You are able to morph a "thudd" into a "foomp" or bring life to synth-pads with a moving Filter. You have to bring Dynamics into play, not just adding resonance to a fixed Filter. What makes a Jupiter's Filter powerful is it's envelope.

The resonant filter

by Petrit J.

Sorry for the newbie question but, what¹s all that fuss with resonant filters ? Why do people are so much after them ? To my ears when I¹m tweaking my S-760, all it makes is a weird sound in the treble (I even tried on an E-Mu), so I can¹t see at all how it could make a bass sound sounds ³better² for when i¹m playing some bass patch in Sxx format and playing with the filter resonance, it¹s doesn¹t sound any better or phatter...or maybe i dunno how to do it. Thanks Petrit
