I have a program called Synthia Pro which generates 16 bit Audio IFF samples which can be saved to disk or dumped to certain samplers. Unfortunately, the S-50 isn't one of them. The program will dump to Roland's S-550/S-330 sample modules, though. I know the S-50 is a 12 bit sampler. I've already had limited success transferring samples ( both 8 bit and 16 bit, with appropriate scaling applied ) with a BASIC program I wrote to test the feasibility of the concept. Now I'm trying to work it up into a C program to try and increase the speed of converting the individual samples into the correct MIDI format. Anyway, it would be nice just to have access to any type of sample data and know that it could be ported over to the S-50 and used as a patch in the sampler. Thanks for the feedback, by the way. 16 bit samples are allowed in the IFF spec ( in fact, resolution can go up to 32 bits! ) Be Seeing You.
