But maybe you received some good diskettes along with the W30 to play around with. I only got some outdated standard Roland Sound Library disks with mine so i prefer to use my own samples.
Good luck!

- January 27, 2005, 09:43:31 PMCheers for the welcome boyas 
and for the links.
I'm still in contact with the guy i bought it from, but i didn't wanna bother him when not even a week has passed.
"record everything IN to the machine".....man i don't even have a clue what you mean, as i still can't get it to record a simple "dum dum dum dum" beat. A little patience is all i need.
Thanks for the links again, i'm gonna check em out now.
Sincerely,
The Stickiness of the Frolands *tears whole afro out with one tug* ahem

- January 26, 2005, 10:09:39 PMHello everyone, i'm new to the board.
I just bought a w-30 last week, Its my first synth. My god is that thing a bitch to figure out. I've been up five days straight and only now is it starting to make a teeny bit of sense, but not really
, and i look like a cross between grizzly adams and jabba the hut because of the thing.
Not only that but instead of whistling tunes all day like i usually do, i'm whistling sound effects, whirring noises, and samples etc, etc.
I got a load of floppy disks with it, and also the original ZeroG sample cd's, but i'll be damned if i know what to do with them.
I've been reading the manual so much, my eyes hurt, and its not making sense. Yeah, yeah, i know i'm a bit thick.
But does anyone know of a good page that explains the thing, simply. I don't have the patience of an adolescent Howlett.

- October 11, 2002, 02:34:48 PMHow does the W-30 sequencer look like on the little screen??
I've always imagined that it looks like a stepsequencer in a tracker... because everything Liam has programmed on it seems so tight and "step by step". But that's just a thought.

- October 05, 2002, 08:51:07 PMWell, SDISK can read all kinds of samplerdisks like the W30, write it to a file on your HD and back to disk again.
BTW, i'm not exactly sure what the differences are between v1.0 and v1.1, but they both are supposed zo work similar. I don't know what format it writes, though.
Then there's SMFW30, a small program giving you all kinds of utils like Wget, Wput, Wdir, delete, memo-edit, etc.
Unfortunately just a trial version - it can be used 10 times for free.
I found some disks on ebay, lately.
Sometimes people sell some disks per music mags.

- October 01, 2002, 04:28:17 AMI was wondering if it is possible (with W-30 disks) to somehow convert them to a format on my PC to use in tracking programs???
