I've owned and used a Roland S-750 since 1 year wich I've expanded to 10 Mb and hooked up with a Syquest 270 Mb removable HD and a Philips RGB monitor. If you're unfamiliar with the S-750, it's basically a S-770 without the internal HD. I'm a bit unsure if the S-770 has digital i/o ? Well the S-750 doesn't, and that's one of the things I'm interested in getting. Anyone knows price on this and CPU upgrade in the US ? Germany ? My current O.S. is 2.23 and I think this is the latest ?

There's also a CPU upgrade wich speeds it up with a factor of 30 %. This is 3000 S.kr. wich is aprox. 375 U.S.$.

But this was not the case. There is a blown fuse (actually it is a resistor which act as a fuse) in your mouse port which you have to replace. The same thing happened to a friend of mine. He has a S-750 so perhaps this is common proplem in Roland line of sampler. BTW this happened when I tried using another mouse. It has a switch for a mouse system mode and I switched this on while still connected. And the cursor went berserk. So DON'T try using another mouse with this sampler. job From math.uwaterloo.ca!lotus.uwaterloo.ca!sgroup-owner Mon Jan 9 12:25:29 1995 Received: from math.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.144]) by watdragon.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <88172-3>; Mon, 9 Jan 1995 12:25:25 -0500 Received: from lotus.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.9]) by math.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <77151-4>; Mon, 9 Jan 1995 12:25:21 -0500 Received: from research.att.com ([192.20.225.3]) by lotus.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <166>; Mon, 9 Jan 1995 12:12:40 -0500 From: gjm@research.att.com Date: Mon, 9 Jan 1995 11:47:00 -0500 To: sgroup@lotus.uwaterloo.ca Subject: Re: S-550 mouse woes Message-Id: <95Jan9.121240est.166@lotus.uwaterloo.ca> Status: R The DB9 connector on my S-550 mouse doesn't make good contact.

I've got an MKS-100 for sale! I'm mainly a synthesist, and I thought I'd expand into sampling for a bit, but I found I like my analogue and FM gear better than sampling! I've also got to pay off a trip that I took to England to see my girlfriend. It's in great shape, with about 55 disks (quick disks) full of sounds. Some are my analogue gear and others are drum sounds. I've had no luck in finding a Mac editor/librarian, so it limits the usefulness I can get out of it! I would think that $300 could take all, plus shipping from UCSD (California). OR BEST OFFER! It's a very capable sampler, although it is only 12 bit with a 4 second (30kHz) sample time. I've got the manual, too. Thanks.

I had a similar problem when trying to get 700 series samples into SMAC so I could convert them into AIFF files for my K2000. I think the problem is that SMAC does not support 16 bit formats.

But wouldn't it be nice to use longer samples and to do some more elaborate editing than is possible on the S-550? I would definitely go with the Sample Cell I instead of another S-550! By the way the cheapest I have seen has been $450. I sold mine quite over a year ago when I got a K2000RS but am considering getting another one since I still have 3 CDROMs of sounds and the SCSI interface. So if you know of someone who is selling one for $500 or less let me know!

I did subscribe to this list because I'm a W30 owner and that just downloaded some archive from lotus.uwaterloo.ca and discovered that the fact that the W30 was not able to transfer samples to computer seems to be still an actuality. Like some people I read, I was furious against them because my main objective was to do computer sample editing ... ( I must say that for the moment, I use a Gravis Ultrasound of about one tenth the price I did pay my W30 ;). Since at that time, I was very motivated I took all the computer power I did have inside of me and began to write programs that where able to read and write the W30 disk directly and transform the patch wave into some file usable by a computer. Of course, the disk layout was a bit quirky to analyse but finally I did succeed ! I had an atari program that was able to transfer sound files between avalon and my W30 !. Now, of course, I don't have the atari anymore so I cannot deal with it but I still have the map description of the disks and a quick and dirty DOS program to convert W30 disks into .wav and vice-versa could be done. Now, of course, something did maybe come out that I am not aware of but if anyone is interested in this, please let me know.

I did subscribe to this list because I'm a W30 owner and that just downloaded some archive from lotus.uwaterloo.ca and discovered that the fact that the W30 was not able to transfer samples to computer seems to be still an actuality. Like some people I read, I was furious against them because my main objective was to do computer sample editing ... ( I must say that for the moment, I use a Gravis Ultrasound of about one tenth the price I did pay my W30 ;). Since at that time, I was very motivated I took all the computer power I did have inside of me and began to write programs that where able to read and write the W30 disk directly and transform the patch wave into some file usable by a computer. Of course, the disk layout was a bit quirky to analyse but finally I did succeed ! I had an atari program that was able to transfer sound files between avalon and my W30 !. Now, of course, I don't have the atari anymore so I cannot deal with it but I still have the map description of the disks and a quick and dirty DOS program to convert W30 disks into .wav and vice-versa could be done. Now, of course, something did maybe come out that I am not aware of but if anyone is interested in this, please let me know.

Status: RO Hi all ! Here is the beginning of the information on the W30 disk structure. As I had to go back into really old doc I wrote, some indications are missing. Basically, I did put everything that was needed to recover the samples from the disk. I think the tone/patch parameters structure must be quite similar to the one of the S-550 but I did not have the time to check... I did post only a small description text on the group. I will send to John Sellens a zipped file conatining the following : 1) Description Text ( the same ) 2) wdir.exe : print the tone directory of a Song and Sound disk 3) wget.exe : allows you to recover samples from the W30 disk. 4) winit.exe: transforms a formatted 720K disk into something writable by the W30 ALL SOURCE CODE IS INCLUDED ! Note that those program where not intended for wide use. There are pretty much hard-coded ( The samples are always translated in 8bit .wav files, the drive has always to be A: ,.. ) I might make them nicer in the future. I suppose John will post a note to indicate the zipped file availability/location.

I'm searching the ASPI developers kit, too, because of the same reason. I think the S750-Harddisk format doesn't differ really much compared to MS-DOS FAT format.

Harvey) To: sgroup@lotus.Uwaterloo.ca Subject: new face... Reply-To: ej345@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Stephen C. Harvey) Status: RO Hello all... I am new to both this list and the world of Roland samplers, and wanted to briefly introduce myself. I have been toying around with MIDI for about 7 years, although much of that period consisted of a meager CZ-1000 hooked into my Atari ST. I have been doing multi-track recording for about 3 years, and since then, MIDI has become much more important to me (espescially since I can now afford some of the nifty toys...) My current musical project, "Flowers For Kali", mixes styles ranging from ambient techno to hip-hop and punk, and the first tape ("Building Eden") was born from my bedroom studio about four months ago. Despite the fact it was decidedly low-tech, I was rather pleased with the results, and from the 50 or so people who heard the thing, I got mostly favorable results. The overall effect of this was that I felt encouraged to put more time and $$$ into my interests. My latest acquisition is - lo and behold! - a Roland S760 sampler, which I had not been familiar with (I had been looking at Akai and Emu), but fate dropped an almost-new unit in my lap for a remarkable price, and in the two weeks I've had the thing, I have been extremely impressed with both its ease of use and its performance. The main reason I originally wanted a sampler was so I could mutate home-grown samples, but I have been very impressed with the few canned samples I've gotten a chance to use. I recently discovered the archive at uwaterloo, which I plan to go crazy with when I have access to my friend's PC (I am using an Atari with a DD drive, so I can't really use sdisk on it...) But anyway, it's always nice to find that there seems to be a forum for ANYTHING on the Internet, and I'm glad to find there is an active Roland sampler community - this allays one of my worries when I bought the thing, that it would be relatively obscure. But anyway, I just wanted to assert my presence... I'm sure I'll be pestering you all with a barrage of questions in short order. One thing I was curious regards the network of sample trading via snail-mail; this looks like something I'd like to take part in, but as most the files describing the network were kind of old, I'm not sure if it is still active. Can someone fill me in? -Until next time, Steve From math.uwaterloo.ca!lotus.uwaterloo.ca!sgroup-owner Sat Jan 21 22:27:36 1995 Received: from math.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.144]) by watdragon.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <88166-3>; Sat, 21 Jan 1995 22:27:30 -0500 Received: from lotus.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.9]) by math.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <77151-4>; Sat, 21 Jan 1995 22:27:21 -0500 Received: from unb.ca ([131.202.3.20]) by lotus.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <138>; Sat, 21 Jan 1995 22:13:28 -0500 Received: from jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca by unb.ca (8.6.9/941220-22:07) id XAA17465; Sat, 21 Jan 1995 23:13:22 -0400 Received: by jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca (4.1/SMI-4.1-941013-14:25) id AA01976; Sat, 21 Jan 95 23:13:22 AST Date: Sat, 21 Jan 1995 22:13:21 -0500 From: scott dhomas trenn X-Sender: dhomas@jupiter To: SGroup Subject: sAMIdisk for Amiga.

Well,I don't believe there is any sysex based librarian for the S-50/550 - but there are a few things that come close. For one thing,you can buy Turtle Beach software's "Samplevision" (if you're a PC owner) and it has support for downloading and uploading patches to/from an S-50/550 via MIDI sysex. You could dump patches to the PC and save them to your hard drive in Samplevision's format,if you wanted - and thereby build a library on your PC. Another non-sysex option is to get the PC Windows S-550 librarian software (shareware program) which can read in the S-50/550 disks via your PC's floppy drive and catalog them for you.

For Sale: Roland S-550 sampler SCSI interface SCSI cable 80 meg hard drive external hard drive supply/enclosure mouse monitor (green monochrome) manuals for the S-550 and the SCSI interface original system disks for the sampler and for SCSI approximately 80 floppies (might be a little less) with samples -don't know exactly what is on them because when I bought the sampler they came with it and I didn't have much use for them because they weren't "my thing", but I believe they are quality samples, possibly even copies of the Roland sample library... I just don't have use for them with or without the sampler so I'm going to throw them in. Worst case is you get 80 floppies to backup the hard drive with. ;) Terms: $800 + shipping, sent COD. None of this has ever been gigged. The case is my own - I pulled the drive out of it that I was using and made it an internal for my computer, then popped the 80 meg into that - so the power supply/case for the drive is only a few years old. The monitor is one of the 9" Apple //c monitors. I bought it from my local university's surplus shop when departments upgrade their computers, so it has scuffs here and there and "OSU CON" (Ohio State University College of Nursing) is spray painted on top, but I assure you I purchased it legally and it works just fine. But the sampler is in great shape. It has the usual nick or two along the top edge, hidden when racked, but all my Roland stuff does even though it never moves. Everything works flawlessly. The reason I am selling it is because I found myself not using it as much as I expected to and I could use the money.

I'll be happy to EMail directly to anyone interested... just let me know. Here is the info: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Short: Disk imager and waveform conversion for ProAudio Samplers Type: mus/misc Uploader: dhomas@unb.ca Author: dhomas@unb.ca SampleUtility is a disk imager and waveform conversion utility for Professional Audio Samplers. There are three versions of SampleUtility. This is the UnRegistered Release. It is the only version released publicly. All versions provide the capability to READ and WRITE full disk images, in both double density (DD) and high density (HD) formats. A disk image is a conversion of a full disk in to a single file. This is a good way to keep backups and to distribute disks through EMail/FTP/BBS. Most IBM based formats are supported: This includes the Roland series of samplers. Additional format support is currently under development. UnRegistered Release -------------------- This is the basic no-frills release. READ/WRITE of disk images is supported, but no FORMATing or INFO is available. This release is hard coded to use drive 0 and the Topaz font. Registered Version ------------------ This version includes the FORMAT and INFO gadgets and Workbench ToolTypes support. The FORMAT gadget provides a way to create formatted disks from any disk image file. This is very time saving if you like to have certain parameters setup a specific way most of the time. Several disk images can be used for different default setups. The INFO gadget will read label, patch, tone, etc. information from a disk or disk image. Currently, the Roland series of samplers are supported. Additional support is under development. Workbench ToolTypes are supported to set the default disk drive, default directories, file extensions, font, and more... Enhanced Registered Version --------------------------- This version includes additional support for translation from many sound formats. The following are currently under development: Yamaha TX16W, Sample Dump Standard (SDX), Roland series samplers, Kurzweil K2000, Ensoniq series samplers, E-mu EMax, SampleVision (SMP), and many more.

Here are some suggestions which I want to give to Scott and discuss with other Amiga owners in this group, which would make me want to register the enhanced version (40$) if Scott puts them in the program. I own an S50. The biggest annoying thing about this sampler is that I can't have an Hard Disk connected, and have to make my own disks every time I want to write a new song. I don't like to make disks by cathegory (i.e.: one for t808 drums, another for strings, another one for something else, etc), but I prefer to make a song-related disk (i.e. : a disk containing all the samples I need to write a song). This is for me a big hassle, as I have to sample sounds from cd, try them in the song, if they are good write them to disk, if not start again... this has lead me to use the s50 very little nowadays... Now, when I read the features the enhanced version of Amiga Sample Utility promises, I asked myself if Scott couldn't add a feature for ppl like me (without hd): - Read an S50, W30, whatever else disk. (This is already done) - Give the program the ability to read a patch or a tone, and write it to the Amiga's HD in some general format for storing purposes. - Give the program the ability to listen to the patch or tone through Amiga hardware (using datatypes ?) - Give the program the ability to arrange tones or patch previously saved on the Amiga's HD onto new diskettes ready to use in the samplers. - Give the program the ability to edit patches directly on the Amiga and then save them to disk. (But this is the least needed thing, I'd like to have the first three more). I don't know if this would be feasable or not... just some ideas I'd like to hear from you what you think about... and Scott too, obviously !

It has a SCSI interface, but it also has "the" mouse problem. I thought it was just the mouse, but when I sent it to Roland, I got it back and was told that the problem was probably a "fuse resistor" in the main unit. I never bothered to send it (the unit) in though. Everything else works fine. It's yours for $450 + shipping. I'll also throw in a bw apple monitor. The sound library I have is just a subset of what's available on lotus.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Status: RO With respect to my program: SampleUtility for the Amiga... Regarding the speed of reading disks formatted on the samplers... because of differences in the alignment and speed of the drives, it causes slow downs in the reading on Amiga drives. Formatting and writing on the Amiga will be faster, but again, will be slow on the sampler unit, because of the differences. I'll be adding better worded explanations of this in the documentation. thanks, dhomas. ************************************************************************** ** ** * scott dhomas trenn : Fredericton, NB - CANADA * * scott wilkie Internet: dhomas@unb.ca * ** ** ************************************************************************** From lotus.uwaterloo.ca!sgroup-owner Tue Jan 31 20:43:07 1995 Received: from lotus.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.9]) by watdragon.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <88159-1>; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 20:42:57 -0500 Received: from ccrb.engin.umich.edu ([141.211.163.28]) by lotus.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <137>; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 20:33:42 -0500 Received: (jkimble@localhost) by ccrb.engin.umich.edu (8.6.8/8.6.4) id UAA21271; Tue, 31 Jan 1995 20:33:15 -0500 Date: Tue, 31 Jan 1995 20:33:15 -0500 From: john hamilton kimble Message-Id: <199502010133.UAA21271@ccrb.engin.umich.edu> To: dhomas@unb.ca, sgroup@lotus.uwaterloo.ca Subject: Re: Sample Utility for Amiga.
