Roland S-330 Sampler 12 BIT Charly - Prodigy Alpha juno Sound (charly)

[vegunited06]

I need your help with the s330. when you truncate samples why does it move the truncated parts to another sample usually over on top and thus losing a previous sample? how do you stop this?

[raymangold22]

Is that a commodore CRT? lol

[djchriskola]

@raymangold22 The sampler predates VGA! you'll need a monitor that supports RGB, the old commodore amiga and atari colur monitors are perfect...

[raymangold22]

@djchriskola So you mean а 9-pin connector? That's called CGA (later EGA), not "RGB".

Also, 8-bit ISA VGA cards do exist, they're just rare and expensive.

[HTCHACKEREXTREEME]

@raymangold22 no, he means RGB, three seperate RCA jacks, one for red, one for green, one for blue.

[raymangold22]

@HTCHACKEREXTREEME That's rather odd seeing as the 5150 used one RCA jack for all three channels.

@ACOfficial

I dontt know, myself i can't imagine using it without

VGA adapter: 15€

Ultrasatan SDcard drive: 70€

USB mouse adapter: 20€

I did not pay for my atari, i swapped it, i recommend a 1040STE at least, or above > Falcon etc. I have a 1040STF boosted to 4mb but it lacks an audio output.

Actually the biggest problem is to find Avalon, find it with the dongle. I paid 60€ for mine last year.

Digidesign Turbosynth is great too.

Lots of great cracked or free midi soft to try.

[digitalcp01]

That plus the old 12 bits samplers are awesome synthesis engine, still!

part 2 :Early 90's' technology but it is great with the right mediumsto save your work in the Atari (sdcard drives>Ultrasatan) . And connect your S330 to a tv card on your computer.

[digitalcp01]

part 1: These old samplers wins to be connected to an Atari running Steinberg Avalon for exemple.

I like this program a lot since it got dedicated drivers to mididump to S950, Emax or S330. Which they dont do normally.

The Wave generation in Avalon is a modular environment ala Reaktor or Clavia G2: you drag modules and connect the cables.

You get substractive, fractal, karplus strong synthesis, Waveshaping

FFT...effects like ringmod ampmod distortion etc...mixers too;

[mastgrr]

AWESOME! Can you record you playing T99's Anasthasia or James Brown is Dead? I wish I could get its samples somewhere, just for personal enjoyment.

[djchriskola]

@resseses look on ebay

[djchriskola]

its a sample of the Roland Alpha Juno or MKS50 preset "what the?"

[vegunited06]

this is real great! altho when it comes to samplers im more of an akai fan boy, by the way does that roland come with a 'ping pong' loop ?

[ClJNT]

Awesome, could you show us a little bit more about it?

I'm seriously considering purchasing a hardware sampler because I'm fed up with all the bullshit I have to go through with computers. I'm trying to decide between this (the roland S-330) and the Akai s950.

[maccagrabme]

Don't do it, unless you love using floppy disks!

[djchriskola]

@maccagrabme floppys are fine i usually just sample in from a computer anyway and dont bother saving it

[rhinonose]

@ClJNT i got a nice akai s3000 for just $100... the 3000XL is amazing, i would seriously, seriously consider looking for one

[ClJNT]

@rhinonose

Thanks I'll look into that, at the moment I'm considering the new product from "Teenage Engineering" it looks amazing, can't wait for a release price and RRP to be announced.

[djchriskola]

@ClJNT buy a mac ;) oh and both samplers are great, i'm an old akai user, but i love the roland with a mouse and screen :)

[ClJNT]

@djchriskola: I've got one, I think I just need to splash out and get some software, I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something simple and stable that lets me play around with samples quickly before I loose the idea that I had in my head.

[ClJNT]

@djchriskola

I've got one, I think I'm gonna have to splash out and get some software. The thing is I don't need anything fancy, just something that is quick and stable so I don't loose track of the idea I had in my head and at the moment computers are just too slow with too many clicks and menus to go through.

[djchriskola]

@ClJNT AKAI MPC IS YOUR FRIEND - mpc1000 is cheap too!

[jarrydn]

now all you need is the alpha juno and you'll be set!!! Nice work man :)

[djchriskola]

@jarrydn i have a rack alpha juno the MKS50 ;)

[jarrydn]

@djchriskola

Hehe very nice :). Never let that gem go...such a severely underrated synthesizer IMHO

[owlwink]

"Charlie says"!

Cool,how much did it cost you?

[IrnMnky1]
