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?
I used the Mac version for some time (all apps are version 0.01a) but
it doesn't work anymore under Classic on my G5. Ideally you'd need a
Mac that could boot in OS9 to do the job.
Bernard at www.cdxtract.com has been asked to include the facility of
reading S550/S330 floppies in CDXtract (great conversion app) but I
don't think this has been implemented yet.
There is a trick you can try if possible:
Roland S760 samplers read S550 disks (not sure about S330 disks).
You can then re-save in S760 format onto a Zip disk, which can be
read by CDXtract and converted to the sampler format of your choice.
I've had reasonable success using this method - requires all the
hardware though....
