to quote steve landay:
=> If Roland no longer offers an avenue for people to purchase device
=> specific software like they used to, then I dont see how they have a
=> legal argument against those of us who would share among ourselves
Well, I for one do not want to have any involvement in any legal argument
with Roland - dead platform or not! :-)
Found this in a ReadMe file at the Sgroups home:
Roland SoundBank
The Roland Sound Bank was a file library of Sounds for the
S-50, S-550 and W-30 Digital Samplers that was available to
our customers through our dealers. Over the years it became
difficult for use to distribute the Sound Bank library in
this manner due to our dealers no longer having the actual
instruments in stock to make copies of the library in the
stores.
In order to still have the Sound Bank library available to
our customers we are setting up several sites on online
services around the country. These are Compuserve, Internet
(at the Sgroup FTP site) and Sound Management BBS.
<snip - some instructions>
If you have specific questions about the library, please
give us a call at Roland Product Support, (213) 685-5141,
extension 770. You can also reach us through Compuserve at
the Roland Forum. Just type Go Roland.
