I recently got MachFive a universal sampler made by MOTU which runs on
the Mac. It supports many formats, including Roland S7xx. I was
thinking about how to transferred into MachFive. I don't have any
Roland S7XX samplers, but I do think they can read S-330/S-50 disks?
Maybe the best route is to use the SamDisk utility and read in the
S-330 disks and re-configure them in MachFive?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The S760 can definitely read S330/S550 disks. The sounds can then be
re-saved in S760 format for further use.
You may find that MachFive only reads S7xx CD's - try to check up on
this somehow.

Hi Colin.
I just looked through the MachFive manual and it just mentions "Roland
S7xx". You make a good point. It likely only works with the S7xx CD
format.
With the S760, when it re-saves S330/S550 disks, does it just save the
raw samples or does it contain all the configuration information for
the sample? If it only does the raw sample, I might be better off using
the SamDisk Utility and getting them into the Mac as AIFF files and
have MachFive load them from there.
If S760 preserved all the S330/S550 disks once they are re-saved, can a
user burn a CD in the Roland S7XX format easily?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
I'm sorry if I'm a bit vague on this - it's been a while since I've
done any conversions.
(someone with the tech knowledge please step in here.....)
The way I got data to my Mac was via Zip disks. I have a SCSI Zip
drive attached to my S760. I also have a USB Zip drive to interface
with the Mac.
I use CDXtract for conversions, and it actually "sees" the Roland Zip
disks and I convert from there to EXS24 format.
I'm hoping other folks will add to this regarding Cd's etc.
If I can find some more info, I'll post it later....
