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.
