Introduction
S-10 Manager is an editor/librarian for the ROLAND S-10 Sampling Keyboard which was manufactured in the mid 80's by ROLAND. There are probably still many of these around and in use, but the Quick Disks and drives are no longer available, so when the drive breaks down*, the S-10 is pretty useless.With S-10 Manager you can then still use your sampler.
(* If the rubber belt is old or broken, you can replace the belt by one used in cassette recorders or VCRs, try your local audio repair center.)
Features
With S-10 Manager you can edit the parameters of the S-10, load and save samples to disk as System Exclusive data, export sample data to Windows .wav-format for editing in a sample editor, and import sample data (also in Windows .wav-format), so you can load the sampler with sounds generated by software synths.
System requirements
S-10 Manager runs on any Windows 95/98/XP based system with 16 (8?) Mb free RAM and 10 Mb free harddisk space. MIDI-in and MIDI-out hardware is also needed.
Freeware
Yes, S-10 Manager is freeware. In this case it means that however every care is taken to keep things safe, downloading and using any files mentioned is at your own risk…
Version 0.5.2
Checksums are now evaluated (only) while receiving samples from the S-10. When the program receives an incorrect checksum it will send another data request to the S-10 until the data set is received well.
Version 0.5.1
Problem solved with SysEx files that don't set the S-10 to Sample Dump Mode.
Version 0.5
This is the first useable version.
