I just bought a used 1 gig hard drive, and was going to use with my S-760. The drive had been formatted and used with a S-770 and it contained some sounds. I connected the drive to S-760, and it worked fine, but the previous owner of the drive wondered why there seems to be so little free space left. I tried to save S-760's system to the drive, but S-760 informed me (with bad English) that it is formatted with S-770 and must be reformatted before I can save S-760's system to it. I consulted the manual, and then noticed that S-760 can use only 600 megs, no matter how big hard drive! 1. 600 megs?!? Is this really all S-760 can use? No way around this? There is no point using bigger hard disks than 600 megs with S-760 then? 2. Can S-770 use bigger disks? Why? Isn't S-760 newer? How come S-760 seems to be able to read S-770-formatted disks, even if they are bigger than 600 megs? What if there is some data saved with S-770 beyond 600 megs? What is the meaning of life? :) Thanks.. Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen "...

IMHO Roland seems to concentrate on the rompler architecture (JV xyz & XP abc). I think, they focus too much on their DJ/Techno customers (see DJ70, DJ70mk2, MC303 etc...) Check out when the S760 was introduced (1993 ?). Try to figure out the enhancements since the introduction of the S770 sampler architecture. (1990). There's not very much. And since then .... ? Don't misunderstand me, I love my S750, but (apart from its user interface, which is still the best on the market), the S-series is definately out of date. Consider the maximum voices, maximum ram, number and quality of destructive sample algorithms, filters etc. Maybe they're cooking a new high-end BLAST-ALL-OTHER-FACTORIES sampler, but I really cannot image, what product for which price could compete for instance with the price/performance ratio of a ESI-32 or an E64 ? I simply cannot imagine. I'm the first who would by a Roland sampler again, if they would once again create a really good product for a reasonable price.

I think that I recently reported here that mine acted up and that Roland Tech Support advised me to put it at the physical end of my SCSI daisy chain. That apparently fixed my problem. Then, last week, my short SCSI cable used to chain the Syquest to my CD-ROM went bad. (How? I don't know. It sits in a rack in my studio!) Once again, all is well in SCSI-land. It seems that Glyph, the Ithaca, NY company that sold me my SCSI units, burns in their systems before shipping. It could explain the relative lack of problems I've had. Roland Tech Support did mention that the Syquest 270MB has a nasty reputation of doing something wierd with its active terminations. That's why they recommended putting it at the end of the chain. Richard, Michael; what EXACTLY were the problems you experienced?

Strange indeed! I can't speak to the Jaz drive. Did you report this to Roland? What did they say? Or are you still having problems? I recently reported to this list my experiences with my Syquest 270MB and SCSI cable problems. One thing to try is to connect each of your SCSI devices individually to the S760 one at a time using a known good cable. When one SCSI device checks out, remove it and attach another SCSI device. Repeat for each device to know which one(s) work. Having only one device connected to the S760 at a time cuts out some of the guesswork as to what's going on, what's good, what's bad.

Sounds like it's set to Rnd. I know, it's hard to find; there are also pan settings in the patch and elsewhere in the partial I think.

I prefer to look at value rather than cost. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sue Gardener gardens@beachmus.demon.co.uk *** BeachMusic: Life's a reach and then you gybe *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Sent by the sgroup mailing list on lotus.uwaterloo.ca For subscription information, send mail to majordomo@lotus.uwaterloo.ca From lotus.uwaterloo.ca!owner-sgroup Wed Aug 14 21:32:11 1996 Received: from lotus.uwaterloo.ca ([129.97.140.9]) by watdragon.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <20595-1>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 21:31:31 -0400 Received: by lotus.uwaterloo.ca id <114>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 21:20:53 -0400 Received: from upsmot01.msn.com ([204.95.110.78]) by lotus.uwaterloo.ca with SMTP id <16>; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 21:20:19 -0400 Received: from upmajb02.msn.com (upmajb02.msn.com [204.95.110.74]) by upsmot01.msn.com (8.6.8.1/Configuration 4) with SMTP id SAA23472 for ; Wed, 14 Aug 1996 18:13:13 -0700 Date: Wed, 14 Aug 1996 21:17:37 -0400 From: "Jason Darien" Message-Id: To: sgroup@lotus.uwaterloo.ca Subject: sgroup 750---for sale Sender: owner-sgroup@lotus.uwaterloo.ca Precedence: bulk Status: R Hello all...I'm looking to sell my S-750...it's got the full complement of RAM (18 megs)...and I'm kind of embarassed to admit how infrequently I've used it...

What is the meaning of life? :) No, not that I'm aware of. Why not. Yes. Because they're not bigger (as far as I am aware). Not applicable. 42. :-) Yes, the 600meg limit does seem ridiculous in this day and age of multi- gigabyte disks. However... I now have some insight into why there is this limit. I wrote some little programs to read the directories off S7x0 series CDs and Zip disks so that I could see them on my PC, and print them out. (BTW, I'd make them available if it wasn't for the fact that, as is typical for one of my home projects, they are at the just functional but not really complete stage. In any case, I'd be surprised if many members of this list ran OS/2 :-).) In writing these programs, I figured out the disk directory structure. I was surprised that it was the same for Zip disks (which can only hold 100M) as for CD-ROMs. Then I realised that one of Roland's main goals for the OS would be simplicity rather than flexibility. They'd want to make sure they could fit the OS on one diskette. And one reliable way to achieve simplicity is to define a fixed size directory at a fixed location on the disk. Perhaps the 600 meg limit falls out of the way they have chosen to represent the sectors containing sample data?

It's very cost-effective and sounds great. #2 - the DA-400 is cleaner and IMO, better sounding than the built-in analog outs. One reason is that the DA-400 outs are balanced and can output at +4 (as opposed to the -10 unbalanced outs of the internal outs). I use outs 5-8 (the DA-400) for mission critical. I never use outs 1-4 for tracking.

Is any >of these for PC type (VGA) outputs? No, none of the 3 video out ports are VGA. The ports are (composite?) video (as used by VCRs), S-video, and digital RGB. I believe VGA is analog RGB. It's analog something, anyhow. I had hoped that the digital RGB port would be at least EGA compatible. However, I have both: 1. been informed that it is CGA compatible only (sync rates are different) and 2. tried to connect an EGA monitor with a home-made cable. With the EGA monitor, a got a scrambled picture with the correct colours. I imagine that's what an unsynchronised picture looks like. (Since I got the right colours, I'm assuming I made the cable correctly.) So, it appears that you really do need a *very* old monitor for the OP-760. I'm currently using a monochrome monitor that I used to use with an Apple ][ clone! BTW, the straight video output is selectable between PAL and NTSC by a jumper on the video board.

It makes working with the machine a heck of a lot easier. Anyway, to change sample time you have to hit the "Record" button (choose your tone number), page right (+) to the sample parameters page and then use the down arrow to reach the sample time parameter. The time won't increase if there isn't any memory available, so: To delete samples, go to the edit page, hit the shift button, and hit the p1 button to reach the delete function. Choose the tone number you want to delete. To execute: hit the shift key, then hit the enter key (a common execution sequence on the S50). >So - if you've got some documentation (maybe you can scan it for me), or >know a place on internet were I can find some information - please mail me >a note.

Use the mouse to select the disk menu and, with the DirectorS song disk in the drive, select SHANGE SYSTEM. That will load the sequencing OS into the S330. I have the S550 so I am only assuming that what I've said will hold true for you. You now have a pattern based sequencer. Warning: there's a 300 event limit to each pattern so don't load up on pitch bend, cc#7, pressure (channel or poly), types of messages.

Is the program usuable? By 1988 standards, it was a pretty OK sequencer for being resident on the sampler. It's pattern based and has some powerful features. I used it extensively. But ANY computer or harware resident sequencer of a mid to late 90's vintage beats it hands down.

Would there be more banks (A/B) ? Also, does this > HD have to be SCSI? Where is the SCSI port on the S550? Otto beat me to the punch and provided a very good answer. But the question seems to point to a possible lack of basic understanding of samplers in general. I may be wrong about that but it seems that storage memory and sample memory aren't well defined in the asker's mind, yet. Either that, or contemporary hard disk recording concepts have spoiled us all and people starting there first and THEN moving to samplers second have to adjust their thinking. So please let me add this to Otto's answer... The reason sample time and banks aren't increased by adding a hard disk is that sample time is determined by the amount of RAM in a sampler and the sampling frequency used when recording a sample. (Not to mention sample word size; 12 bits in the S550 for example.) Sample RAM is a totally separate area than storage memory, be it floppy disk, hard disk, or CD-ROM. Each bank of sample data on the S550 is in RAM. A floppy disk holds a bank's worth of data. Hard disks and CD-ROMs hold many banks of data. The sampler can only play data already loaded in RAM. Everything else is "off-line data storage" and must be loaded into RAM in order to be played. Sorry if you already knew this. I just wanted to be sure. BTW, I picked up a SCSI kit that I need to install. How much should I pay for an Apple 80M hard drive? Where are good places to go looking for them?

This is not automatically saved when saving a sample set to hard disk. The good reason for this is that you want your hard disk to have only one predetermined o.s. So you must use another option under the hard disk menu called "Save System" or "Copy System" or some such title (I'm at my workplace). HOWEVER ... the S550 will not boot from some hard disks - even though they work perfectly for sample save/load. This appears to be luck of the draw if using anything other then a pure(?) Apple hard disk. I'm using an IBM 80Mb disk and it doesn't boot. This means that I have to boot from the CDROM/SCSI floppy first. My hard disk also has to be "awoken" upon boot by going into the SCSI check option. I hope these tips are useful. I would greatly appreciate if anyone has anything to offer that might improve my situation. Good luck ... it's worth it.

The Mac has a built-in 2x speed CDROM drive (from Apple). The SCSI setup is as follows: SCSI DEVICE 0 internal hard disk in Mac 3 CDROM drive inside Mac (Matshita CR-8004 1.0p) 5 S760 7 Macintosh CPU 7.51 I would like to know how the S760 needs to be setup so that I can: 1. load and read into the S760 a Roland- or Akai-format CDROM from the Mac's CDROM drive 2. load and read into the S760 an audio CD from the Mac's CDROM drive According to the S760 Ver.2/OP-760-1 manual - in the back pages, when I check whether the CD player is usable, I get a "Not Supported" message - but I would think that the CDROM drive on my Mac should be supported. Also - in the System->SCSI menu page, under "CDP Driver Type", what should this be set to? (I think I tried: Off, 1-7 with no luck). Does the CDP driver setting only impact how audio CD's are read and not Roland or Akai CDROM's? It is strange though - when the CDP Driver Type is set to 1, Perform->Performance Play->CD Player shows a Not Supported, but then pops back to another dialog showing Track/A-Time and P-Time. (but pushing the Stop button doesn't change it to a Play button - which I think it should). Also - I have an external 2x (or 4x?) CDROM drive - a Toshiba XM-5201B. I am having the same unsupported drive errors with it as with the interal CDROM drive on the Mac. (Roland compatibility guide says that the: TMX-5201B R is supported. But not this: XM-5201B that I have? I really want to be careful not to set anything on the S760 that could harm the Mac or it's internal hard disk. I'm assuming that using SCSI ID5 for the S760 is OK.
