Roland SoundBank The Roland Sound Bank was a file library of Sounds for the S-50, S-550 and W-30 Digital Samplers that was available to our customers through our dealers. Over the years it became difficult for use to distribute the Sound Bank library in this manner due to our dealers no longer having the actual instruments in stock to make copies of the library in the stores. In order to still have the Sound Bank library available to our customers we are setting up several sites on online services around the country. These are Compuserve, Internet (at the Sgroup FTP site) and Sound Management BBS. The files that are online are image files of the actual Sound Bank disks. In order to convert these image files into readable sampler disks you will need a IBM, or Macintosh computer and the appropiate program for that platform. For the IBM you will need SDISK.ZIP, for the Macintosh you will need SMAC.SIT. The Macintosh program requires a High density drive. Please download the following files to explain how to use these programs with your computer. There are also complete lists of the sounds that are within the library as well. Sound Bank files: Instructions: SDISKINS.TXT Instructions on how to use SDISK (IBM). SMACINS.TXT Instructions on how to use SMAC (Mac). Library Lists: RSBLST.TXT Listing of RSB501-508 S-50 library and RSB-5501-5506 S-550 library L701-711.TXT List of the L701-708 S-770 library. If you have specific questions about the library, please give us a call at Roland Product Support, (213) 685-5141, extension 770. You can also reach us through Compuserve at the Roland Forum.
