First-time poster, late to the party. A friend just gave me her old SP-700 (maxed 32MB). I feel like an archeologist, pouring through the SGroup archives, deciphering the cryptic manual, and playing Dr. Frankenstein with SCSI peripherals that haven't been out of the closet in years. While I suspect that I may have enough of the right hardware puzzle pieces to make it all work, my question boils down to: is it worth pursuing at all? That is, are there any interesting sounds out there that are uniquely available in Roland S-series format? (Unusual, weird, or otherwise special?) If there aren't, I should prolly remain content with my E6400 Ultra, K2500X, and the few soft sampler progs I have so far, and just try to ignore the SP-700... right? Bonus question: Am I right in thinking that, using the SMac utility program (or something else?), I can make images of the several ZIP disks of S-format samples that I got, and burn them to CD-R's that the SP-700 will read? Extra-bonus question: Anyone have a 600MB SCSI HD they'd like to part with for next to nothing? (I'm in So Cal.) Cheers, Hoagie Hill http://www.seamonstersounds.com --
