All user reviews for the Roland S-750

It was a sophisticated sampler numrique the era of its release in 1992, with its monitor, the mouse, sound editor, and now it's still enjoyable to use a machine trs .

24 voice polyphony for the reproduction of many overlays of sounds and timbres obtaining the most complex.

2 megabytes of internal memory (RAM), expandable 18 megabytes using standard SIMMs, for
more than 100 seconds of sampling stro at once.

Ral sampling 16-bit
Frquences In and Out in 44.1 and / with / or 22.05

Inputs and outputs for a REALLY Stereo Sampling, 8 assignable outputs

Functions of signal processing (DSP) edition sophisticated and include time compression (Time Stretch), the conversion frequency drives, the enchantment and mixing of samples, the inversion, the controlled Audio Dfile with the manual filtering and compression / expansion.

Rchantillonnage internal flight trigger the sounds stocks, standardization, multi-loop (layer) ...

Hierarchy Backup: Volume / Performance / Patch / Partial / Sample

Integrated floppy drive plug SCSI for external storage
(Cd rom & opto-magnetic 650 MB hard drives up to 1 GB)

Halion 2 reads its samples

The Midi Sample Dump Standard (MSDS) enables the exchange of samples from another S-750, S-770 or S-760
Compatibility with the files of S-550 and Roland W-30

The S-750 includes the MSDS and can give TRANSFR of the samples by the south to another device that also includes the standard.
This may be another sampler or computer software quip edition of the sample.
The samples are TRANSFR to and from memory rather than disk.

The S-750 is an initiator (scsi chain terminator and can be plugged into a Mac or PC and share peripherals with him, if in the end it needs a chain terminator. Well take care to turn everyone else at the time of the clash is back and everything is repeated.

UTILIZATION

We can not say that the configuration is simple, read the instructions, but for those like me who have horror, going through the menus with the mouse, it always finds a way to exploit its samples quickly.

The edition of his grace is convenient and easy connection of a monitor.
and the manual is in French trs clear.

SOUNDS

Effects (Timestretch and filters) are effective but can not have prview, making each rglage random image, the dynamic compliance

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using an over several decades, it is stable trs. I use it in concert on scne, he made use of all Creations in my home studio.

But it's a big machine dplacer with its monitor the mouse and its peripherals.

I always regret this problem pan impilotable by noon, the storage limit and above the chronic incompatibility can not read anything that sounds roland.

Before I had an S-550 (too small in total), and when I had the S-750 t aa lot of fun

C'tait machine CHRE (28,000 f), but too CHRE 10 years we can say that I have amortized
If we had the choice again I think I would do, otherwise so Roland was recovering to a sampler of the MODEL S-750 but more powerful of course, I think I r-invest in the Roland.

24 voice polyphony, 16-bit AD converters NA 20bit 24-bit internal calculation
It currently does not need because it has 8 analog audio output not unlike the Digital 770
ii 2Mega a standard>>>> 18meg hard drives and supports SCSI 1Gica Maxi
an editing utility for Mac / PC? may be on the side of soundquest nest but it not useful, Itis fully computerized video, mouse and programmer (optional)

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is very simple and adptée any use as a database where everything is shared and biased samples and patches on disk and in memory>>> considerable savings
- Editing of sounds and effects is easy and powerful editing with the mouse resampling continuous sampling etc ... very pro
-More he reads the formats of several other manufacturers notament Akai Emu less secure
- The manual in English and French very simple good quality but it's easier still to the screen and mouse
nb computer VIVO video card is welcome to view the sampler on the screen. attention to the mouse is not good!
10 minutes Getting Started

SOUNDS

The A / D and D / A are very transparent sound but it's still very hot Roland
- Effects and filters are effective as dab, except a little time stretching along numeracy, and little book of good surprises "soundesign vanguard of" kinds granular grunch but inimitable
it is very dynamic too often, the S330 would be nicer notament pianos, which I kept and still have nothing to be ashamed-yet-30k 12-bit linear address the current sound?
synths it rocks! many grains exploded a bomb in short

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 12 years
i like the sound and the comfort and is adjustable in the big front screen etc. .. Ergonomics in action 25/20, 3U is big but it is useful to work coupled with the 760 for concerts it's deadly
I make my sound for the final component in the mix "finger in the noze" not a single lizard ...
if the USB or Firewire had existed, it would still be perfect. but who knows there may be an adapter

AKAI ROLAND between and at the time was the best performance value for price
and without hesitation, I referrer the same choice, there is nothing now that does not offer much except in virtual compared without the comfort without the sound. Now it is double Absynth 2 and 3, Kontakt and it keeps all its plume
