duplicate Roland CD-ROMs

by Ingo Debus

Hello all, I thought it should be possible to duplicate my sample CD-ROMs in Roland S-760 format using the Apple OSX disk utility. But when I try to create a disk image file from any of my CD-ROMs the disk utility says "read/write error" after reading the CD-ROM. It does work with a CD-ROM in Akai S-1000 format though. I remember I could duplicate those CD-ROMs back in the OS 9 days, using Adaptec Toast. But my OS9 computer and its CD burner quit working a long time ago. Any other possibilities, preferrably using an Apple computer? Ingo

Who wants jaz drives and cd-rom drives and cables and power >supplies everywhere? I hadn't heard these rumors but since I developed some Internal Kits of other samplers I thought I'd look inside a S-760. 2 problems: There is no direct way (unless you are a ace solderer and really know what you are doing) to get the SCSI buss, since the output DB-25 is soldered directly to the mainboard. You'd either have to desolder and solder the whole jack, or you could make a custom ribbon cable to route back into the S-760 (ugly, but possible). The other issue is more severe. A internal ZipDrive is 6.5 inches deep. Roland used a fairly short-form floppy drive that is 4.5 inches deep. The power supply is right behind the floppy drive, so there is no room for the 6.5" deep ZipDrive, unless you relocated the power supply. That may be possible if you don't have the OP-1 video/digital stuff; if you do, it is not possible even if you are squishing things in there. You wind up short about .75 inch no matter how you squeeze it. There better solution to me is to just get a 1 rack space shelf, or a 1-2 rack space rack drive case. Since the S-760 is rack anyway, the only advantage of an Internal is the saving of at least 1 rack space. I sell Internal ZipKits for the Ensoniq ASR-10, and that is a huge advantage because one can take their ASR-10 around for gigs and truly fulfill what the writer didn't want: cables, and power supplies everywhere.

Internal SCSI device on the S-760?

by k2500x _

There are rumors of sucessful internal SCSI ZIP drives, etc being installed to replace the floppy drive on the S-760. Is this true? Are there details anywhere of the installation?

S330 System Disks

by AND1 kid

Dear All, Would anyone be so kind to tell me where can i get the 3 system disk images for the S330. I have already read and browsed through the SGroup Archive ( http://www.generalconcepts.com/sgroup/archive/os/S330 ), but the only image I find there is the one for Mac OS and I'm running Windows). Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Andrew

Old sample archives

by Seppo Eskola

Hi Nice to see lots of activity here lately, been so quiet for so long. Note for anybody downloading those old Roland samples from the SGroup archive; http://www.generalconcepts.com/sgroup/archive/samples/Roland/ As far as I can remember, there were couple of disks which didn't work. I have the working ones, but no time to go thru every single one to verify. So if somebody figures out which are those broken ones, I can sent the correct images. I actually got the Roland Sound Library L-CD1 disk, years after I had already downloaded he same stuff from the site.

Re: [sgroup] note about samples and stuff

by John Sellens

Most of the Roland sample collection is available at http://www.generalconcepts.com/sgroup/archive/samples/Roland/ Jim Norman (then at Roland) arranged to send me floppy disks for me to put online. If anyone has any other samples they wish to share, I would be more than happy to put them on the sgroup web site for all to share. Cheers! John | From: "David A. Roth" <david(a)roth-music.com> | | I've not looked for this in a while, but I thought at one time Roland had an | FTP web site of their samples available for the public to download that was | in the SDISK format.

note about samples and stuff

by Denny Daughters

Hi guys, Thank you for all the advice and comments. I really appreciated them. I'd never take money away from anybody who has worked hard on creating patches or sample libraries. If you have some s-50 samples you've created and you'd like to sell them to me, that's great! If you guys can point me to how to get s-50 samples that others have made, I'd be happy to pay for them too. I talked to two different departments at Roland, keyboard, and customer service this morning. Their feeling on these old stock samples is to just go ahead and trade away. They're not making any money off the old technology anymore. Denny

S-760 - Dead LCD - External Monitor Select Keypress Instructions Needed... Very Badly... Please Help.

by Vincent Longo

Hi! I have an S-760 with a bad internal LCD panel (not the backlight, the LCD itself) - No information displays to the LCD at all. Can someone tell me the exact series of steps (button presses) to put the unit back into the mode that allows the use of an external COMPOSITE monitor? I'll be doing it blindly, so I'll need something that reads like: "Press the 'down' button 3 times, then press the 'inc' button ". I've tried a lot of combinations, to no avail. The problem is that this menu is NOT shown in ANY of the available documentation, so I'm stuck, and I can't use my sampler. If someone could reply to this, I'd be very appreciative. It should only take 30 seconds or so. My S-760 has become a glorified paperweight because of this problem. I REALLY need someone to help out! Thanks in advance!
