Hey guys (and gals?) I just scored (off of ebay) about 130 disks for my S
550. Oh man it's SOOOOOO nice to have this thing up and running, and the
sounds are GREAT. (only had a chance to try 1 or 2 disks thus far. But I
just wanted to share.
Currently I'm trying to figure out my EMU Ultra so my Rolands have been on
the back burner.
Hope everyone is well.
Peace,
Rob

Yeah
Is there anyone out there that can help me with Info on how to set up
my Roland S550 to a pa board. Also do I need to use any kind of soft
ware with the Roland S550. And how do I use the unit with roland
Keyboard and Midi. I'm a beginner and need some help.
Hi,
Ha Ha, yeah you have to love them remember using them on my Korg SQD1
and Akai X7000,
I might have some unused in my loft,Roland brand,if so will post.

Hi, Jonathan. It's been a really long time since I had the S-10 (loved those mini-disks!) but I'm guessing what you're seeing is just the natural limits of sample stretching. Instead of letting you play a sample all across the keyboard to the point where it sounds really awful and only dogs can hear it Roland lets you go up to a certain note and then they prevent you from playing that sample any higher. I thought it just played the highest note over and over again even when you played higher on the keyboard - I don't remember it repeating the whole octave. This is just a guess, but for only one sample with no split, three octaves sounds like it's all you're going to get.
Anyone currently with the S-10 can correct me if I'm wrong. But if you need more than three octaves you're probably going to have to do more samples and then set up your own splits.
'Glad to see folks are making good use of the "old" technology. I used to love my S-10 - somewhere I'd gotten this awesome complex sustained orchestral hit type of sample that might've come with the unit. It sounded fantastic. I think it was called 'Peter Gabriel.' I still have a sample of it for my S-550 someplace.

I have been playing around with my ROland S-10 and have just created a simple 514K sample of a bass guitar in Band D. I have no other sample, and after pressing F1/F2 there don't seem to be any splits or anything else.
The problem is that my sample plays nicely across the first3 octaves of the keyboard then on the final octave the pitch repeats the second last octave rather than continuing to go higher.
Im guessing this is either a really word problem or some simple setting that Ive missed.
Any help much appreciated….Given there is no split and only this single bank loaded I just can't figure out why my first 3 octaves are fine and this last octave is a near repeat of the second last octave.
Thanks Jon
It really shouldn't be that hard to do.
