Guest dugbert Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I was looking before at like an AKAI S3000, which seems pretty good for like $300 but it still has way more features than i need. I just want something really simple that is rack mounted and has like 4 outputs... can anyone recommend something?

enki Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Roland S-760's dope. It's only one rack space and sounds pretty good. There's one on ebay with all of the options for $125. Kinda hard to program, but that's what the mouse is for.

Guest aeser Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 all the rackmount ones i know of have bells and whistles. a dr. sample or something like that sounds like what you want but it's not rackmount.

Then go to Roland's website and download the manuals. Roland's real good about making manuals available, even for some of their ancient products. The learning curve on the S760 is quite steep, and the disk format is kind of strange, but it's a pretty sweet sampler overall. Good luck with it.

Guest dugbert Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 i don't think any of my computers actually have a floppy drive, i'll have to dig one up hopefully the menu system is a little similar to the R-8M i had, i think they were made around the same time Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/25715-simplebasic-rackmount-sampler/#findComment-546278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
enki Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I don't have a floppy drive, either, but love finds a way. Also, if you can get your hands on Chickensys Translator, it makes getting files back and forth between your computer and the sampler much, much easier (if that's your sort of thing). Just get a Zip drive. I actually found that it's best to use Akai formatted disks with the computer, which the S760 can then import from. Or you could just sample and edit on the sampler. Novel idea, I know.
