I just recently purchased my Roland S770 Sampler and LOVE it. However I
have been searching for a mouse ever since. I read that the Roland S770
uses an MSX compatible mouse. After alot of searching I found a NEOS MS-10
MSX mouse on ebay and purchased it. When I plug it in and activate the
mouse the cursor just darts to the bottom right and I can't do anything with
the mouse. The right button will scroll through the jump menu though. I
looked further in the S770 manual and noticed the it says it is compatible
with the S550 mice, but nothing else.
Is my problem an incompatible mouse or a BAD mouse port on my sampler?
Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,
I have an original Roland mouse and I have a similar problem due to a
faulty connection on the mouse port of my S550 - in my case,
wobbling the connector a bit can solve it so maybe you just have a
dodgy wire or solder joint somewhere. I guess that accidentally
knocking a mouse connector while it is plugged in can break the
solder joints on the board inside the sampler quite easily - probably
worth carefully taking a soldering iron to those to start with.

I've had this same exact problem. For a while I could get it going by
jiggling the part of the mouse that plugs into the sampler, just winding
the end of the cord and pushing it in a circular motion into the socket,
but eventually no go. I had to have it serviced.
Ironically they brought it back and said "it's fixed!" even though it
was in exactly the same condition. I took it back to the same store,
plugged it in and showed the guy they didn't do a thing. They did take
it back and fix it for free. If possible, ALWAYS check out the fix
while you're at the store.
Nice to see some list activity. What are you using your sampler for?

Just a word of warning:
I have used a Roland S550 for many years. I was told a similar story
about mouse compatibility. I plugged in a different (supposedly
compatible) mouse and it burnt out part of the circuitry. Now I can't
use *ANY* mouse at all and just use the front panel buttons (= pain
in the butt).
The wiring on the Roland mouse in unique and any other mouse can
cause harm (as above).

I haven't been using my S760s (2) for a while. I have Halion 3, a
software sampler which is super simple to use, quite powerful.
I am not sure what I want to do with my 760s. I had a SCSI Zip Drive
which is now dead. I think if I could find a SCSI HD which would
communicate with the S760's then at least I could save my patches and
not have to use the old floppies. I can still load patches from my CD
sample disks but I can also load them into Halion now.
There is a difference in the sound and not all performance parameters
are loaded into Halion, so it takes some tweaking. The 760s are easier
to take on the road (without a monitor at any rate) but I may be getting
a MacBook so this will also solve that problem...
Might be sacrelidge here, but I must admit that the power of VST beats
the hardware approach.
