Q:
Convert Load on the S760
 
A:
The S-760 is capable of reading the older Roland Sampler libraries (S-550 and W-30), as well as the AkaiTM S-1000/ S-1100 Sampler libraries. This is done with the Convert Load feature.

1. Press Mode.
2. Move the cursor to F5 Disk and press S1.
3. Press the Value/Menu button.
4. Scroll down the page with the cursor down arrows to 8: Convert Load, and press the S1 button
5. You will be on the Convert Load page. For a W-30 or S-550 Sampler disk, you will see (TG) Patch, which is switchable between Patch or Tone. (AR) is for Area Number on the disk. (CD) is for Current drive.

The AkaiTM S-1000 library can be loaded using the Convert Load feature as well (through SCSI only). Use the above steps 1-4. When you come to the Convert Load page you will see the drive parameter Part. (_) Select between partitions A-I. To switch between Volumes, move the cursor to Volm (_) and select the Volume area. After locating the specific Volumes or Programs (Patches), mark the targets with the S1 button, and press F3/ConvLD.

Note: Convert loading of Akai Programs will take approximately 8 times longer than native Roland files.
