For one thing, I am dying to get sample data back & forth from my PC to the S50 disk. I have a 386sx with a MQX-32 MIDI card, and I run Texture 3.2. I have tried sending the sysex sample dump request but I guess I don't have the addresses or checksum right.... I don't have a librarian program but am interested in writing a real simple one. Right now I am trying to figure out how to generate MIDI files to import into TEXTURE. I am interested in whatever areas you are working with using your S50/550, especially sysex communication (Texture doesn't do SYSEX!!!)

Does yours >have SCMS? Yeah it's a Sony, probably the 'new one'. It's the TCD-D3. It's incredibly small and portable. It can record at 32, 44.1, and 48kHz, but only at 32 and 48 through the analog inputs. The unit itself has a stereo mini analog input with switchable mic/line. It also has a digital i/o port that uses a special multi-pin connector. This can be hooked up to three different cables, a DAT to optical, a DAT to coaxial, and an optional unit that has optical and coax ins and a wireless remote control. In scanning the specs, I couldn't find the oversampling rate. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have phantom power (thats when the power runs through the mic cord itself?) but it does have a separate mic dc out for a special mike made for the DAT. Sorry, it's a consumer model so it does have SCMS, I dearly wish it didn't, but I can't afford a pro model (I have access to one anyway). The judgement so far though is fantastic! I love this little unit. It allows me to do so much, and it can just float around my room (to my stereo, to my mixer, to my desk to listen to stuff...). It also has all the start id write, erase, renumber functions i've seen elsewhere. If anyone wants to know more, I'd be glad to answer any questions. neil -- >From: mtdca!gfd@att.att.com >From: g.f.demarest@att.att.com To: att!andrew.cmu.edu!Sgroup+@att.att.com Date: 6 Sep 1991 13:27 EDT Subject: RE: My DAT Neil, Do you know what the pro-version of that unit is called?

In order to read/write sample data from these machines, one must read/write the memory of the S50/550 directly at the proper locations. OBTW it is a royal pain to figure out how to do this since the addressing scheme in the machines is bizarre, and the data is stored in octal format (12-bits, remember), and the sysex command limitations prevent you from using the upper bit of a byte so one has to munge the data and play around with the Roland data formats, etc. Refer to the back of the S50/550 manual for the details on this ugliness (at least my S550 manual has this info). Before you run screaming into the night (like I did) after perusing this section of your manual, take comfort in the fact that there *is* some useful source code floating around on the net which you can study to get a feel for how it is done. If my memory is not totally corroded, there was some sort of Librarian which contained some code to transfer samples to/from a Roland D110 (Does anyone have a copy of that nice Roland D110 librarian code handy? I wish I could remember who wrote it, a nice chap from the UK as I recall who was very active on the rec.synth newsgrou). This sample code is very portable, clean, and illustrates the basic concepts necessary to communicate with all Roland devices via sysex (including the checksum and Roland sysex read/write command structure). The major change in adapting to the S50/550 is figuring out the memory mapping of the octal data. It's been a while since I've had a chance to mess with this kind of thing so I can't quickly provide further detail (ok, someone else can jump in now and help Matt out? 8-).

Here's a tip on how to mute/un-mute long samples with the filters. If you've heard songs like `Pump up the volume` with M/A/R/R/S you can hear an effect when they rytmically mute and unmute long samples ,like a long reverb trumpet tone or a scream. This effect is usually made either manually pressing the mute button in and out like DJ's do when they transform mixes, or by using a mixer with MIDI-muting. Since I ain't got an automated mixer (I actually ain't got one at all) I've tried to do the same on my W-30. First I simply tried to turn the volume on and off on the MIDI-channel, but it reacts far to slow. Another thing is that the software tend to make a slope between the different volume levels. So instead i tried the filter, and it works extremely well. I used the aftertouch to vary the filter cutoff level on the MIDI-channel. (Rember to set Channel Aftertouch on). Then I adjusted the tone with the TVF so that everything was filtered out/muted when the aftertouch is pressed, and so that nothing is filterd out when no aftertouch is pressed. Now I could mute/unmute by pressing hard on one key with no tone assigned to it. Afterwards I used the event editor in the sequencer to send aftertouch-messages at level 127 or 0 whenever I wanted the sound effect to be muted or unmuted. It's fun to play strings while the keyboard mutes the MIDI-channel every 16th note. Add some drums and you sound like ZZ-Top. It's like having the keyboard doing real-time quantising. If anybody is intersted I'll mail the exact tone and patch parameter, or if someone owns a W-30 we can swap disks.

I know this has been covered here before, but since this is a forum for samplers and I'm in need of a little encouragement (coddling), I thought it'd be OK to rehash it again. I recently picked up a Roland Juno-106, a nice analog and MIDI keyboard. I've made some cool bass samples but when I try high pitched sounds or more complex waveforms, looping becomes nearly impossible to "unclick" as loop end and loop start are soooooooo difficult to match in wave shape and amplitude. Any wordz'o'wizdum? I'd like to put a few more samples on my Juno disk defore sending it in to George; something with more than just bass sounds.

Allright Bill! We now have similar setups. The juno is my oldest keyboard, but I'd never dump it, its a lot of fun. One suggestion I have is to not sample with the Juno's stereo chorus on, as that complicates the waveform. You can use the samplers 'Unison' patch feature and detune the second voice to add chours. The sound will not be the exact same, but it still usually sounds good. Another thing I notice is that if you sample too high (or too low) the sound sounds ok for a few octaves, but loses quality when it is interpolated a great distance. The best thing to overcome is trying to make it sound exactly like the juno, but make it sound good on its own nonetheless. Help any? I hope :-P neil -- >From: cbema!wbf@att.att.com Date: Wed, 11 Sep 91 08:09 EDT To: sgroup+@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: Looping Hi Neil, Thanks for the advice on turning off the chorus. I suspected that I'd have to do that but wanted to try and capture the Juno's exact sound before resorting to sampling without effects. By using the unison patch feature, doesn't that mean that each note I play actually uses to voices of the S550's polyphony? I wanted to avoid that if possible but it looks like the way to go.

Yeah, unfortunatly you will cut your polyphony in half. The method has its price...

I was tying to make a simple edit to a patch yesterday on my S-550, (which I just bought), and it seemed much more complicated than it should have been. Can someone offer advice? The problem is this... I had a piano patch with 14 separate tones, (14 waves + tone data), and wanted to shift the pitch of the piano down an octave. As I looked at the keyboard that is on screen while editing, I could see that there was a patch that I wasn't utilizing, that had been sampled for the last octave that I was trying to make use of at the bottom end of the keyboard. I thought that if I shifted the octave in 'Patch PRM' that the keyboard would then start playing the sample an octave lower, but in fact nothing happened. In fact, shifting the octave in both the 'Patch PRM' and the other place you can shift it, ('Tone PRM' ??), did absolutely nothing! What it seems I would have to do is make a set of sub-tones out of these tones, and change the start key, (or what ever it's called), for each sub-tone, and then copy the patch parameters over from the other Patch. Is thos what I have to go through just to get a patch with a different octave?? Ray Macneil PS. If someone has a list of the Roland library for the S-550 could you please forward it to me? I have about 55 disks of sounds with my S-550, and some I suspect are from the Roland library, while others are not. PPS. Has anyone seen a very good sample of an old Fender EP? In my infinite wisdom I jumped into the S-550 head first, (like any good Macintosh owner would 8:)), and copied a bunch of useless stuff over the sample I had of it. If this is around could you let me know? Thanks a lot for your help...

In fact, > shifting the octave in both the 'Patch PRM' and the other place you can > shift it, ('Tone PRM' ??), did absolutely nothing! Somthings wrong here. It should ust be a change in the octave parameter in the Patch Edit screen. Make sure that in the split menu that tones are assigned all the way down to the lowest octave you are using. You should not have to touch any of the tone paramters at all. It's a little tough to give additional advice w/out the thing in front of me. Are you sure you're editting the right patch? I don't mean to be a wise guy. But sometimes, the multi-menu approach of the S-series can make you miss little things. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck. > What it seems I would have to do is make a set of sub-tones out of these > tones, and change the start key, (or what ever it's called), for each > sub-tone, and then copy the patch parameters over from the other Patch.

The 'Octave Shift' option under the Patch Menu wil do the trick, you can shift form -2 octaves to +2. I bet if you try it again it should work. George was right about editing the right patch, it's easy to miss that and frustrating as hell! As far as a list of S-550 disks, I have a Roland user's group (1 or 2 years old) magazinge that lists available disks, I don't have it on-line, but if you can't get the info anywhere else, I can get it to you.

I had thought that there was a series of inexplicable deaths around the world of people who have S-series samplers. Prove me wrong.

Roth) I just checked it on my Mac. The screen designs look GREAT! I like the main help page. I think the group picture of the cartoon family with the phrase is really hip!!! Not to mention the picture of yourself in sunglasses. The program looks good. Everything is on one screen which is ideal. This is going to be really useful, like being able to search for a certain cymbal sound that has a size of ".4" sample memory because that's all the memory you have left. I might be jumping ahead to fast but I can see added some of the MIDI XCMDs to this to be able to store little MIDI passages to audition sounds. Like after you find the disk from using this program to search you could pop it in the drive and click the "audition" button and it would play a few quick passages for each sample to give an idea of it's most popular usage. I do remember seeing some hypercard MIDI routines floating around. If you need specific help with hypercard programming you might want to post to that newsgroup. Before I forget...I am using hypercard 1.2.1 (an old version) and it worked fine. Congrads are in order for taking action and doing it!
