Listen Delete

Listen Delete is a feature that allows you to shrink your patches so they use less of the internal memory

of your sampler. After you use Listen Delete, save your optimized Performance to disk, and reload it to

your S-760.

For this example, let’s use a drum kit from the Preview Disc that comes along with your sampler. Load

the Performance file KIT:TR-909 KIT (see loading sounds) and go to the Performance Play page. Play

some of the sounds, noting the location of the hi hat, kick drum and snare drum.

1) From the Performance Play page, press the Shift button, then Jump.

2) Move the cursor down using the down arrow button to 7: Listen Delete and press the S1

button.

3) You will now come to the Listen Delete page. Turn the Value/Menu knob to determine

which Patch you are going to edit.

4) Press F3-Start, the bottom of the screen will read “Wait for note on”. At this

point, play the hi hat, kick and snare and any other sounds you like. Once you have played

all the notes you want to keep in your Patch, press F3 again.

5) The bottom of the screen will have three options. F1-Go On, F2-Cancel, or F3- Exec. If

you’ve completed playing the samples you wanted to keep, press F3-Exec.

6) Press F2-Sounded. You will go back to the first Listen Delete screen. Now, play your

keyboard. The keys that weren’t played will have no samples assigned to them. Your

Performance is now modified and more efficient. Save the Performance to disk, clear the

memory, then reload the new Performance. This will reduce the amount of memory con-

sumed by this modified Patch.

Convert Load

The S-760 is capable of reading the older Roland Sampler libraries (S-550 and W-30), as well as the

Akai™ 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) Pach, which is switchable between Patch or Tone. (AR) is for Area Number on the

disk. (CD) is for Current drive.

The Akai™ 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.
