Roland SPD-S: Importing Wavs from Flash Card

Roland SPD-S Sampling Pad Tutorial - Importing WAV files into the SPD-S
This video presumes you already have samples in the correct format (WAV) and a Compact Flash card already formatted for use with the SPD-S.
(Quality of the PC screen grabs at the start could be better, but you'll get the idea)

Thanks for the tutorial. After the samples are processed, can I delete the wav files off the SD card to save space? (i presume it will be stored as a SPD-S format)

@RoshanDrummer (Sorry I didn't reply - had hell and all trouble getting into my account) Yes you can bin them once imported.

Just to get things straight, could I hook up my acoustic triggers to a roland spd-s and the roland spd-s to an amplifier(Basically use it as a drum module)? Would it work? I just need to know because if I can I'm going to buy a spd-s...

[ozthekeymaster]

@ToTheSkyLV Absolutely - do it all the time. Not sure what trigers you use, but if they are compatible ones then yes.

Hey mate, im having trouble with my roland spd-s... no card i try will work. The card is up to date to 1.2. I purchased a roland 512mb from USA but when i place this in the spd-s it just freezes. Any ideas?

[DonovanFraser]

how are you hooked up from your computer to the SPD-S ?

[joshuarussellx]

What if your flash card is higher than 512mb, does it still work? I put the card in, but it just says "No Card!" when I do "Shift + Setup"???

Hi ozthekeymaster, I'd like to ask you something. I own a Yamaha DTX Multi 12 and I'm kind of disappointed because it lets me storage just 23 seconds of WAV audio (44.100khz/16 bit). So my question is, with a flash card, how many WAV samples can you import to your Roland SPD-S and up to how long can they be?. I'd appreciate your answer.
