New subject: monitor for s series

22 Mar 2010

yes, i remember well about that 12-bit optimization. there was a great  
debate when the 16-bit samplers came out, particularly in the Hip Hop  
community, that the 12-bit stuff was way "meatier" than the 16-bit  
stuff. that's why the sp1200 drum machine continued to be so popular,  
way past its obsolescence. though i haven't fired it up in years i  
can't quite bring myself to lose my s550 - even though Kontakt (the  
software sampler i use now) can load my old s550 disks.

  Yes, it can.  I don't know if the 760 sounds as
good with the 550  
 samples as the 550 does since the 550 has this interpolated sound  
 thing going on that makes the 12-bit samples sound much better or at  
 least brighter.  But I also have lots of samples for the 760 that  
 sound great so I'd like to be able to load the 760 samples into the  
 760 and still use the 550.  I don't have all that many synth modules  
 so it would be nice to be able to use both the Roland samplers.

 hi jesse
 i was always under the impression that the 760 could load 550 samples
 directly. am i wrong?

  I see now that it's color.  Since you'd
use the RCA jacks with the    760
  would you get color output?

 I've got both the Roland S-550 and S-760 samplers and yes, the 760
 sounds
 much better than the 550 but I have so many samples for the 550 I
 always
 thought it would be nice to be able to use them both.  I wanted to
 get a
 switcher box so I could switch between the 550 and the 760 with my    CGA
  monitor but I never found a switcher box that
would work with the
 proprietary Roland cable connection.  I figured the easiest thing is
 to
 find another Roland cable and keep it hooked up to my other sampler
 and
 then manually connect the cable to the sampler I want to use at that
 moment, but I never managed to find another Roland cable.

 Thanks for the heads-up.  Is this color?  And what connection would
 work
 with the 760?
