Roland S-550 Digital Sampler


via this auction

"80's digital sampler. I bought the device and then hunted down a monochrome screen.. I download the original synth sounds off the internet, and ripped them to double density 3.5 floppy disks which aren't available anymore. You can find high density 3.5 disks and put a piece of tape over one of the holes which converts them to double density. After that I had to format the disk with windows 98 so I could set the size to 720kb. I was able to get the system disk and every sound that Roland made for the device. works great, if you don't mind waiting 60 seconds to load a sound bank of about 8 different samples. You can record samples and play them back in different keys. auction includes the Roland s-550 with monochrome screen user manual flopply disk drawer and over 60 disks."
