Sample vision is a DOS (GEM) program that allows you to import sounds directly from your sampler, into .SMP files on your hard drive. The program does this by way of the Sample Dump standard, and works through your standard MIDI cables. If you already have these S-50 sounds in files on your IBM hard drive, and want to convert em to .WAV files, try using 'WAVE 2.0'. Wave will convert sounds into .wav's from allot of different sound file formats. I use it to convert my .SMP (Sample Vision) files into .WAV's. If this does not help you at all, tell us what the format of the sounds you have are in now, and maybe we (or I) can look for converters on various BBS's for you. ---------------------------- Date: 07-01-94 9:57 AM To: Wes Chester From: David A.

To: sgroup@lotus.uwaterloo.ca Date: Sun, 3 Jul 1994 03:30:28 -0400 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] Status: RO I have spent a few hours tonight trying to specifically assign a tone to a patch on my newly-acquired S-550. I have basically been using the same patch and tone parameters that were on some of the disks that came with it, but now I am trying to create my own patches from scratch. This is the fourth piece of Roland equipment I have that has a manual, and the newest, AND is by far the worst manual I have ever read. Yes, I am aware of Rolandese and can usually get by ok, but I am really stuck on this. here's what I am trying to do: I have 5 tones (x11,x12,x13,x14,x15) which I am trying to assign individually to 5 seperate patches (I11,I12,I13,I14,I15) respectively. It looks like I have to assign each tone to a key, which is accomplished in the Edit-Split mode. BUT, as I make changes in the split mode, then move to a different patch to assign a tone to a key (whether the same or different), it doesn't seem to work because it has either assigned the first tone to all keys or it doesn't remember the previous changes when I switch back. I wish I could simply pick which tone/s I wanted for EACH individual patch ala the Copy and Move menu. Maybe there is, but I sure as hell can't find it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Again, this is all I want to do: assign tone x11 to patch I11, assign tone x12 to patch I12, assign tone x13 to patch I13, assign tone x14 to patch I14, and assign tone x15 to patch I15.

Yep! You need UUDECODE.EXE which is available from most MSDOS-ftp-sites. If you got only ftp-mail, then it's a bit difficult.

I was wondering if anyone on the list has a fairly complete set of the S-50/S-330 sound libraries released by Roland. When I purchased my W-30, the store from which I bought it also gave me copies of a large portion of these libraries. Among the disks was one called "Elaborate Techno Set". I'm hoping someone on the list has this same sound set and would be willing to let me make a copy of it, as I managed to write over my copy of it while doing some juggling of patches the other day; I have about a half- dozen completed songs which more or less require this sound set and they are dead without it. I'd be more than willing to trade sounds, pay for shipping the disk, etc. If you can help me out, please mail me.

I just bought the first 20 disks in the Roland S550 library from AMS. $13.50 sounded like a good deal, except that I can't successfully load any of the samples into my unit. I'm using an external monitor, and the message "insert an S550 diskette" appears in the top left status bar almost immediately after selecting a load option. Simultaneously, version 1.0 is displayed center screen. I boot up the unit on a utility diskette which displays version 1.11 on the monitor. Sample diskettes that my buddy made (and load successfully into the machine) display version 1.1. Have I offended the version Gods?

Yes, you probably have offended the version Gods. You should always have the same version on your ytility disk and your sample disks or strange things can happen. To be more precise, if you want to use any of the programs on the utility diskette, you have to be sunning the system software that came on it originally. As a matter of fact I think the latest version is 1.15 (anyone know of a newer one?). You can use the "Save SYS" comman in the disk mode to save the current system to any inserted disk. However, do not do that to your utility disk. It might not work any more. This can however be done with any sample disk. You can also use the "Change SYS" command in utility mode to change the current system to whatever you have on an inserted disk. Don't try to run utility programs from a disk with another system afterwards, though. Rikhardur H.

A 40 megs SCSI drive is, or at least was, going for about $40 on the net used. And $80 is/was about $80. Then you need an external case and power supply thang for anywhere in that range. as far as specific drives, in the HDIF manual, it said to "only use these drives" so I have no idea if that was because that was all that worked at them time or what, but I bought my s-550 used and got my 80 meg with it. > 2) When getting these samples from the internet onto my PC, how sould I > go about getting them on a S-550 format disk (is this PC format ?). > What are the .sdk files supposed to represent ??

I'll be using samdisk to do this. This won't happen all at once and I'm sure that some might not be able to use samdisk so I'll probably entertain the idea of continuing access of the library through the mail (SASE-style). I'll post details at the appropriate time.

I'm printing out these directory listings to take home. Whatever is missing, I'll try to fill in with what I have. That'll be good practice for when George transfers the sgroup member donated samples to me. John, is there room at the ftp site for much more? And please contact me regarding write permissions.

A little while ago I went to Roland Australia and copied the S-50 library. Unfortunately there were some disks missing out of their library. These were what I would consider to be the more popular sample disks. Roland said that that is the only copy of the library that they have in Australia. I would appreciate it if someone could send me the missing library disks via email, or upload them to lotus.uwaterloo.ca. The disks that I am missing are... RSB-502-7 RSB-502-8 RSB-503-1 RSB-503-9 RSB-504-7 RSB-504-10 RSB-505-1 RSB-505-4 RSB-505-8 RSB-505-10 RSB-506-10 RSB-507-1 RSB-507-6 RSB-507-8 RSB-508-2 RSB-508-4 RSB-508-7 BTW, I have found that the GNU progam "gzip" is much better at compressing these files than compress or zip. FYI, you can read and write Roland sample disks directly on a SUN workstation with dd. eg. dd if=/dev/rfd0 of=./RSB-550-1 Since it's possible to format 3.5" floppies on the Sun in DOS low density format, you can format, read and write all W30, S50, S550 disks.
