 The S-330, 16 voice polyphonic sampler module, can record (sample and record into computer memory)
all sorts of sounds, then play these sounds. It adopts the expanded 16 bit system that processes all
signals digitally and therefore creates sounds of excellent quality. It features a maximum sampling time
of 14.4 seconds at 30kHz sampling, and a memory capacity of 32 Tones, and 16 Patches.

FEATURES

•The S — 330's digital filter circuits allow you to record all sorts of sounds
without affecting the quality of the sounds.

• The S-330's digital editing functions including the newly developed TVF (Time
Variant Filter) can modify the sampled voice without reducing the sound
quality.

•The S-330 can select a sampling frequency of 30 or 15kHz.

•Each of the two Wave Banks can store up to 7.2 seconds of data when the
30kHz sampling frequency is selected.

•The Multi Patch Play function allows the S-330 to simultaneously play up to
eight Patches using eight individual receive channels.

• 16 voices can be assigned to the eight Individual Output Jacks in 24 different

ways. This enables you to play Patches or Tones separately through the eight
output jacks.

•The S-330 can be set up with a CRT color monitor display featuring an RGB
input or a home TV set featuring a video connector, or a black and white
display for a computer. Moreover, using the optional Mouse you can perform all

the necessary operations, watching the display without touching the buttons on
the panel.

•The entire data (sound data, function data and MIDI data) programmed in the

S-330 can be saved onto 3.5" floppy disks for future use.

•The optional Remote Controller RC-100 allows you to control the S-330
without hardly using the front panel. The Alpha dial, Ten key pad or Mode
Buttons serve for quicker and easier operation.

*lt is possible to load a data disk programmed by the S-50 or a Sound Library disk of

the S-50 into the S-330 with the Convert Load function. Also, an S-50 disk can be

converted into an S-330 disk with the Convert Disk function.

*Data on the S-550's disk can be loaded into the S-330 without converting it.

 IMPORTANT NOTES

^Basically, to operate the S-330, a CRT Display is necessary. CRT Displays

compatible with the S — 330 are listed and explained on page 11.

*The optional Sound Libraries L-501 to L-509 contain data for [Link] use
these with the S-330, execute "Convert Disk" (page.145)

*The S-330 determines the volume by directly controlling the digital data,

therefore, the dynamic range is automatically increased by raising the volume,

creating delicate and natural volume alteration. So, it may be a good idea to

set the volume on the S-330 as high as possible and adjust the volume on
a mixer or amplifier.

-fcThe S-330 is fully controlled by a computer system, therefore, like any

computer controlling unit, may get
it into trouble suddenly. If so, switch the unit
off, and swtich it on again. (When this happens, data in the internal memory
will be lost.)

-klhe S — 330 is 16 voice polyphonic. This, however, may be decreased depending

on the conditions.

*Noise or hum may be heard in the following conditions. Simply change the
positions of the units.

• When the CRT Display is mounted on the S-330 or placed close to it.

• When the S-330 is placed close to a large-power consuming device such as a power
amplifier.

"ArWhen sampling a wave or editing a sample, you should monitor the sound using
voice module A. The sound to be monitored is affected by how the parameters
of the Patch assigned to voice module A are set, so please check the following

points.

©Check the receive channel of voice module A in the Play mode, then set the channel

of the connected MIDI controller (or the channel of the data if using the Sequencer

Software) to the same number.

©Raise the Level of voice module A in the Play mode.

©Check the Patch assinged to voice module A in the Play mode, then call that Patch

at Patch PRM menu in the Edit mode. Raise the Level in Patch Parameters.

*This unit does not work if the version number (=the number put to the
software) of the system disk does not match that of the utility disk. If they
are not the same number, the data loaded so far will be reset (erased).
The vesrion number can be seen in the Display while the unit is being booted.
To use the system disk and utility disk of different version numbers, you need
to save the system with the Save SYS function and change the version
numbers.

• Version numbers of the supplied system disk and utility disk are set to the same
number. However, the above should be observed when you use a different data disk.

 How to handle the S-330 >

•Switching the S-330 off will erase all the data programmed in the S-330. Be
sure that the Power switch is not touched accidentally, or the power cord is

not disconnected.

•The appropriate power supply for this unit is shown on its name plate. Please
make sure that the line voltage in your country meets the requirement.

•Do not use the same socket used for any noise generating device (such as a
motor or variable lighting system).

•This unit might not work properly if turned on immediately after being turned
off. If this happens, simply turn it off, and turn it on again after waiting a few
seconds.

• When turning the S-330 on or off, be sure the disk drive is empty.

•When disconnecting the cord from a jack, do not pull the cord but hold the
plug.

•If this unit is not to be used for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect
the power cord from the socket.

• It is normal for this unit to get hot while being operated.

•Avoid using this unit in excessive heat or humidity, or where it may be affected
by direct sunlight or dust.

•Place this unit in a steady, horizontal place. If it is inclined upward at more

than 10 degrees or downward at more than 20 degrees, the disk drive may not
function properly.

• Use a soft cloth, and clean only with a mild detergent.

• Do not use solvents such as paint thinner.

• When moving the unit, avoid sudden bumps or shocks.

If this unit happens to fail to function properly, turn it off once, then turn it on
again.

 OUTLINE

The S — 330 can be played in 16 voice polyphony by MIDI messages sent from
the controller connected to the MIDI IN.

The S — 330 can have eight receive channels and therefore can receive eight
different messages separately and play them.

The S-330 receives 109 key (CO to C9) Note messages and plays them with any
of the 32 Tones. This function can be effectively used for assigning different
samples (instrument samples) to different sound ranges, resolving unnatural
sounds caused by pitch difference, or for assigning a drum voice or special effect

to each key. Each Tone assigned to a key is called a Patch. The S — 330 can store
up to 16 Patches in the internal memory.

The S-330 can set eight receive channels, therefore, up to eight different Patches

—
can be played simultaneously, allowing you to enjoy orchestration by using only
one S-330.

 1. Data Programming and Saving

Data programmed on the S-330 consists of Sound data (Wave data .Tone
Parameters, Patch Parameters ), Function data (Parameters on the PLAY Mode,
and FUNC Mode) and MIDI data (Parameters on the MIDI Mode,). All of them
can be saved onto a floppy disk or loaded back to the S — 330.

S-330 Internal Memory Disk Memory

a. Wave Data

A sample is stored in a Wave Bank (A or B) as Wave data. Up to 14.4 seconds

of Wave data (at 30kHz sampling frequency) can be stored.

The sampled Wave can be truncated, cutting away un — needed portions of a wave
or two waves can be mixed, or filtered in the Digital Filter, etc. (This is called

Wave Data Editing.) The edited wave is also stored in a Bank.

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

 b. Tone Parameters

The Wave data written in a Bank can be read and reconstructed with a set of
Tone Parameters. The combination of a wave and a set of Tone Parameters
creates an original Tone. In other words, an original Tone can be made of an
intact sampled wave, or edited wave, plus a set of Tone Parameters set at values

you like.

The S-330 allows you to borrow the Wave data from an original Tone and make
a different Tone (= Sub Tone) with different values of Tone Parameters.

Therefore, up to 32 Tones can be programmed in the entire memory.

c. Patches

Any two of the 32 Tones can be assigned to a different key. The key assignment
of the Tones, and the performance controlling functions (Patch Parameters) are
combined, making a Patch. Up to 16 Patches can be programmed in the S-330.

Two Tones can be assigned to each key.

 d. Function Data and MIDI Data

The function parameters set in the -Play or Func mode are written in memory
as Function data. MIDI functions ( MIDI receive functions) are written as MIDI
data.

<ssB«TO3i«8»«aga»g»aB»8»s^^

The data programmed on the S — 330 can be written in the internal memory.
Data in memory, however, will be erased when the unit is turned off. To retain
the data even after the unit is switched off, save it onto a floppy disk.

A brand new disk or a disk used for other than the S-330 cannot be used for

saving the data in the S— 330, unless it is formatted (see page 135 "Format").
Using the Backup function, a disk is automatically formatted then data is saved
onto a floppy disk.

 2. The S-550's Six Modes

Using the Mode Selector Buttons, any of the following six modes can be selected.

• PLAY Mode

By switching the unit on then inserting the disk, the unit is automatically
turned to the Play mode.

EDIT Mode

This mode allows you to edit parameters for making a Tone, and assign a Tone
to a Note Number.

UTILITY Mode

To activate this mode, the utility system program should be read from the
utility disk. Use this mode for sampling or editing wave data, etc.

• FUNCTION Mode

This mode can set the Master Tunc , initialize parameters and select a controller
to be used.

• MIDI Mode

This mode is for setting the MIDI functions, e.g. MIDI channel, or monitoring the
messages received from the external MIDI controller.

DISK Mode

This mode is for saving the data in the S — 330's memory to a 3.5" floppy disk,
or loading the data from the disk to the S-330.

 2. Power— up and Booting

The S-330 cannot be played immediately after being turned on. The program on
a supplied system disk should be transferred to the S-330 to operate it as a

sampler module. This procedure is called Booting. For booting, either of the

supplied System Disks can be used, but here, let's boot with the Disk I. After
reading the program from the system disk, the S — 330 continues to read the
Sound Data stored on the same disk.

Before switching the S — 330 on, check if :

(1) the S — 330 is properly set up with the other units

(2) nothing is inserted in the Disk Drive.

Step 1 Turn the S-330 on as outlined below.

To use the optional Mouse or the RC-100, turn the S-330 on while taking the
following procedure, and the EXT CTRL Switch is automatically turned on.

To use the optional Mouse (MU — 1) :

Turn the S— 330 on while holding " " down.

To use the optional remote controller (RC — 100) :

Turn the S— 330 on while holding " " down.

*Before using the RC — 100, be sure to push the Reset Switch.

To operate the S— 330 without connecting the Mouse or RC — 100:

Turn the S— 330 on while holding " ^" down.

*!f you turn the S— 330 on without holding any Ten Key down, the status written
on the disk is given priority. The supplied system disk will default to "Off". How
to write data onto a disk is explained on page 138.

NOTE : When the "RC — 100" or "Mouse" mode is selected but the RC — 100 or the Mouse
is not connected to the S— 330, the buttons on the S— 330's panel do not work
properly.

 Now, the Display shows "Please Insert System Disk", and the Disk Drive Indicator
lights up.

Step 2 Insert the System Disk into the Disk Drive until it clicks.

The system program is loaded first, then the sound data.

 3. Back— up of the System Disks

Floppy disks will become erased naturally after a certain length of lime. To avoid
the loss of important data, make it a rule to make a few back-up disks. The
S — 330's Backup function allows you to load the entire data on a disk.

Please use a 2-DD type floppy disk (3.5" double sided, double density, double
track micro floppy disk) such as a Roland MF2-DD.

It may be a good idea to make a backup of your own programs.

If the supplied system disk happens to be erased or damaged, consult your local
Roland service center.

System Disk Backup

Boot the S-330 with a System Disk, then make a backup without changing the
contents.

Step 1 Take out the system disk from the Disk Drive, set the Protect Tab on the floppy disk
for backup to the WRITE position, and insert in the Disk Drive.

Step 2 Push the MODE button.

Step 3 Using the Cursor Buttons, select "DISK", and push the EXECUTE button.

Step 4 Using the Cursor Buttons, select "Backup", and push the EXECUTE button.

Step 5 Push the COMMAND button, and push the EXECUTE button to start the procedure.

The Display shows "Formatting", then "Now Saving", and finally "Now Saving. ..0". Now,
the System Disk's backup is prepared.

Step 6 Push the Eject Button to take out the floppy disk from the Disk Drive, and set the
Protect Tab to the PROTECT position.

Turn the unit [Link] the unit with second disk, then similarly prepare the backup
of the second disk.

 Utility Disk Backup

Step 1 Insert the Utility disk into the Disk Drive.

Step 2 Push the MODE button.

Step 3 Using the Cursor Buttons, select "UTIL", then push the EXECUTE button.

Wait a few minutes to open the Menu Window.

Step 4 Select "UTIL Backup" using the cursor buttons, then push the EXECUTE button.

Step 5 Push the COMMAND button, then push the EXECUTE button.

The Display shows "Now Loading", then the number counts down to 0, and finally

Change Disk" is displayed.

Step 6 Push the Eject button to take out the floppy disk from the Disk Drive, and set the
Protect Tab on the floppy disk to the "WRITE" position, then insert it into the Disk

Drive.

The Display shows "Formatting", then "Now Saving", then the number counts down to
0.. Now, the Utility Disk's Backup is prepared.

Step 7 Push the Eject Button and take out the floppy disk from the Disk Drive, then return
the Protect Tab on the disk to the "PROTECT" position.

The backup procedure for the Utility Disk erases any sound data in the internal

memory. So, boot the unit again with the System Disk.

 3. S — Series Disks compatible with the S — 330

it is possible to load a data disk programmed by the S-50 (Ver.1.0, 2.0), SYS -503
TYPE- A- Disk or a Sound Library disk of the S-50 into the S-330 with the Convert

Load function (P.143). Also, an S-50 disk can be converted into an. S-330 disk with the

Convert Disk function (P. 145).

Data on the S-550's disk can be loaded into the S-330 without converting it.(P.122)

When the S-330 is booted, it is automatically turned to the Play mode

that plays Patches by MIDI messages sent from an external device.

The S-330 can simultaneously play eight different Patches by eight

individual MIDI channels.

[Voice Mode]

The S — 330 is 16 voice polyphonic. (This may be decreased depending

on the conditions.) You can select one of the following Voice Modes
that determine how these 16 voices are played.

[VAL] (Last Note Priority Auto Mode)

When the VAL mode is selected, "Last Note Priority" is shown on the
Message Line. You can set as many as eight receive channels and
assign Patches to these channels. Patches are played by Note messages
received on the relevant channels. If the received Note messages exceed
16 voices, the older sounds are sacrificed.

Note The S — 330 allows you to set the Receive Channels for Voice Groups A to
H to the same channel number (s). This however, will cause slight delays
in starting the sounds, in particular, when the voice mode=VAL (Last Note
Priority Auto mode).

[VAF] (First Note Priority Auto Mode)

When the VAF mode is selected, "First Note Priority" is shown on the
Wctce Mode- AUTO Message Line. You can set as many as eight receive channels and
assign Patches to these channels. Patches arc played by Note messages

[Change the Output Mode]

When the cursor is moved to [MIX], [OUT] or [MIX] can be selected.

[OUT] (Individual out)

Signal is sent through the Individual Output Jack set in each Patch.

Exactly the same signal as sent through the Output 1 is sent through
the Output 1 phone jack and the Headphone Jack.
Here, you can check and change the Output set in each Patch. If this

is set so that each Tone is Output separately (page 103), "T" is

indicate.

*lf the value changed here, the value of the Patch Parameter will also

change.

[MIX] (Mix out)

Mixed signal is sent through the Output 1 Phone, Headphone and
Individual Output 1 Jacks. Other Individual Output Jacks do not send
any signal.

[Other Parameters]

CH (Receive Channel)

This is "the receive channel of each voice group. When it is set to Off,

no MIDI message is received, therefore no sound is generated. To

minimize the delays, turn off the voice groups which are not in use.

When editing a Tone or Patch, set the transmit channel of the

connected MIDI device to the same as the receive channel of voice

group A. In this way, you can hear the sound of the Patch or Tone
being edited.

Patch (Patch played by a Voice Group)

This is the Patch played by each voice group.

*You can select a Patch you like by using Program Change messages sent
from an external MIDI device. To do this, set the Receive Switch [[Link]]

to "On" in [Message] menu of the MIDI mode. How the Program

Change numbers correspond to the Patch numbers can be checked and
changed, if you like, with [Prog #] of MIDI mode.

Level (Volume of a Voice Group)

This sets the volume of the voice group.

*You can change this parameter with the volume messages sent from an
external MIDI device. To do so, set the receive switch [Vol] to "On" with

[Message] menu in the MIDI mode.

* There are some more parameters related to volume control. The volume
of each key is determined by the following six parameters.

1. Position of the Volume Knob

2. Voice group level set here
(Received MIDI Volume)
3. Level of the Patch assigned to the voice group (see page 103)
4. Level of the Tone assigned in the Patch (see page 73)

5. TVA Envelope level of the Tone assigned in the Patch (see page 93)
6. Strength of keyboard playing (see page 94 "Level Curve")

All volume controlling is done by directly affecting digital data, therefore

raising the volume automatically widens the dynamic range, allowing delicate

and realistic volume changes. Set the output volume of the S — 330 as high
as possible and adjust it on the mixer or amplifer.

The S — 330 can record sound into computer memory. A computer can
accept information only as digital signals, so the S-330 converts audio
signals into digital . It does this by examining (sampling) the incoming
signal level a great many times a second, and sequentially recording
these different levels in computer memory. This digital recording process
is called SAMPLING.

The S — 330 has two Wave Banks, A and B where the samples are
stored. Each wave bank can sample up to 7.2 seconds at 30kHz
sampling and 14.4 seconds at 15kHz. A wave bank is divided into 18
segments, which are 0.4 seconds long at 30kHz sampling, and 0.8

 Sampling

[Checking Input Level]

As you feed an audio signal, set the level as high as possible without
causing the Display to show "OVER", using the Recording Level Knob
on the front panel.

The audio signal fed into the S — 330 is sent through the Individual Out
1 and Output Phone Jacks, and therefore can be monitored through the
connected amplifcr.

*When sampling from a microphone, you may hear a howling noise. If so,

turn down the volume of the amplifier and monitor through headphones.

[Setting Parameters for Sampling]

Frequency (Sampling Frequency)

This selects the sampling frequency.

[30] This records a sound with 30kHz sampling frequency.

[15] This records a sound with 15kHz sampling frequency.

Time (Sampling Time)

This sets the sampling time (0.4 sec steps). You can select up to the
maximum sampling time. When 15kHz sampling frequency is selected,
please multiply the sampling time by 2.

If the maximum sampling lime is longer than that of the sample, select
a longer sampling time, so that sampling can be more successful. You
can truncate the wave later in the Utility mode [TRUNCATE].

Orig. Key (Original Key) [CO] to [C8]

The Original Key represents the key at which the original sample was
played.
When sampling from a musical instrument, you may have to set a Key
number that matches the pitch of the sampled sound. Middle C is shown
as the C4 key, and a semi — tone as #.

A Key number can also be entered by assigning the corresponding MIDI

Note number with the Ten Key Pad on thr RC-100. C4 = Nolc number
60.

*The highest pitch which can be played on the S— 330 is 2 octaves above
the sampled sound. Higher pitches cannot be played.

 Sampling

Threshold (Sampling Threshold) [0] to [127]

AUTO sampling starts the moment a signal of a certain level

( = threshold level) is fed in. When the threshold level is set to zero,

sampling does not start until sampling is executed.

Level m

Threshold

Pre -Trigger

Pre — trigger allows you to record the Wave data even before it exceeds
the threshold level (before the sampling is executed when the threshold

level is set to zero.) In the other words, this function begins sampling

a little earlier, and therfore, saves the beginning of the sample from
being cut off.

[10ms]

About 0.01 of a second before the Wave data reaches the threshold

level, sampling starts.

[50ms]

About 0.05 of a second before the Wave data reaches the threshold

level, sampling starts.

[100ms]

About 0.1 of a second before the Wave data reaches the threshold

level, sampling starts.

[0ms]

The moment the Wave data reaches the threshold level, sampling starts.

*When the sampling frequency 15kHz is selected, the Pre— trigger time is

always shown with x2.

[Executing Sampling]

Here, check and see the Display lo make sure that you have proceeded
correctly so far. Then open a Command Window.

When an Original Tone is selected as a [source] Tone Number, opening

the Command Window will erase the previous Wave data, adding the
emptied space to the Remaining time, the Display responding with
"Working". This, however, does not apply to sampling which is done
without changing the Tone number, Wave Bank or Time.

When "READY" is shown at the Message Line,

sampling can be executed.

The moment "READY" appears, the internal memory

starts recording the signal being fed for Pre— trigger
or Previous Sampling.

 Sampling

PREVIOUS (Previous Sampling)

Previous Sampling retains the Wave data for the set sampling time, that
occurs before Step 1 is done. NOTE: The S-330 continuously examines
the incoming data stream, and is always sampling. This is very useful
for monitoring what you want to sample, and then sample after the fact,

(e.g. monitoring a television show and sampling what you have heard.)

Step 1 When the signal to be sampled is fed into the S — 330, push the
EXECUTE button or the left side button on the Mouse.

After a sound is sampled, the Display shows "Working" for a while.

The sampled sound cannot be played while "Working" is being shown.

[Monitoring the sampled Wave ]

Before making a Tone with the sampled Wave data and the Tone
Parameters, you may wish to play it on the MIDI keyboard to hear what
it sounds like. Also, in the Display, the waveform and the sampling
parameters can be seen.

• Waveform Display

AH the Wave data sampled in the Wave Bank is shown in the Display.
When using a color display, the following three colors are seen :

Blue Wave data previously sampled

Red Wave data you have just sampled.

Green Empty space, which has not yet been used.

9 Remaining Time Display

This shows the remaining time of each Wave Bank in 30kHz sampling
time.

* Sampling will initialize all the Tone Parameters except for the Orig Key,
therefore, after sampling, you need to truncate un— needed portions (See

page 46), then set these parameters (See page 69).

(The default values of the Tone Parameters arc shown on page 114.)

[Selecting a Destination Tone]

This is the location (the number of a Tone) where the edited Wave
data is to be written. Any of the 32 Tone numbers, except for the one
selected for the source Tone, can be selected.

* If you select the Tone number of a source Tone as a destination, "Cannot

Execute" appears in the Display when you try to execute it, and it is not
executed.

If a Sub Tone is selected as a destination, the edited Wave is written

into it, and it therefore becomes an Original Tone.

When an Original Tone is selected as a destination, the following will

occur in the S — 330.

OThe previous Wave data is erased making a space ( = increasing the

Remaining Time)

OEdited Wave data is written into the empty space in the selected Wave
Bank.

OA Sub Tone that uses the erased Wave data is deleted, becoming an
unused Tone.

*The new Wave Data is written in the Wave Bank of the same Block as

the selected destination Tone.

When there is no space left for writing in the destination Wave Bank,
"Cannot Execute" is shown when you try to execute, and writing cannot
be executed.

When the remaining space is unsufficient for writing, the Wave data will
be cut.

*The remaining time of each Wave Bank is shown in seconds at a 30kHz

Window address (the vertical line at the left end) and End point
Window address + 228 (the vertical line at the right end). With KEY
ON message, the wave data is read from address 0, and the loop from
the Window address to that plus 288 is repeated. When "On", it is

possible to draw a waveform while listening to a sound.

When "Off", the original Start point, Loop point and End point are
retrieved. If you move to another menu with W. LOOP "On", the

original points will be automatically rewritten.

[Making a Sub Tone]

Original Tone [T11 to T48] / [***]

The S-330 allows you to borrow the Wave data from an Original Tone
and make a different Tone ( = Sub Tone) with different values of Tone
Parameters. A Sub Tone does not sound unless Wave data is borrowed
from an Original Tone.

Call aSub Tone or unused Tone in the Tone List Display, then here,
select the Original Tone from which Wave data is borrowed. When an

Original Tone is selected. Tone Parameters that are involved with

looping are copied to that Tone. And the Wave data is read from that

Tone by playing the keyboard.

You can make a Sub Tone which is completely different from the
Original Tone which shares the same Wave data. For instance, you can
add vibrato or change the envelope to make a sound of different nuance.
Two sounds can be created from one Wave data by connecting two
waves using Truncate (page 46) and Combine (page 51), then setting two
different Start and End points. This makes the Wave Banks more useful.
The system disk contains many Tones made in this way.

One Shot is playing a sample only once, therefore the sound disappears
instantaneously. Reverse is playing a sample once in a reverse direction.

If you wish the sample to be played longer than just once, Looping lets

the wave data or a part of the wave data play as long as you push
a key. One Shot may be good for percussive sounds, and Looping is

ideal for flute or violin.

The sampled wave can have a Start Point, End Point and Loop Point.
The Start Point is where the S-330 starts playing the sample, and the
End Point is where playback ends. When you play a key, the sample
plays normally until it reaches the End point then it goes back to the
Loop point and re -plays through the loop. The Looping process
continues for as long as the key is pressed.

[TVA EG Break Points]

By setting the Break point of an envelope curve, wave data can be read
(played back) in different volumes. For instance, the attack of a sound
can be purposely delayed, or a decaying effect can be added to a loop.
However, the volume of the sampled sound is the maximum, therefore,
it is not possible to make the
sampled attack quicker than the

[Parameter Setting]

Key Mode

One of the following five Key Modes can be selected.

The S-330 allows you to assign two Tones (the 1st and 2nd Tones)
to any key you like in the Split Set display (page 105). The Key mode
selection can also be done in the Split Set display.

*ln any Key mode, each Tone will sound with a set level curve (see page
94) depending on how hard you play the key.

[Normal]

The S-330 sounds the 1st Tone assigned.

[Unison]

The S-330 sounds the 1st Tone assigned (two modules). It is possible

to detune one of the sounds slightly.

In this mode, the possible sounding voices are half of the Normal mode.

[V-SW] (Velocity Switch)

The S — 330 sounds the 1st or 2nd Tones assigned.

Playing the key harder than a certain level ( = Velocity Switch
Threshold) will sound the 2nd Tone, weaker will sound the 1st Tone.

[X-Fade] (Velocity Cross Fade)

The S — 330 sounds the 1st and 2nd Tones assigned.

Depending on how hard you play the key, the volume balance of the

1st and the 2nd Tones differs. The level curve of the 1st Tone is

inverted.
In this mode, the possible sounding voices are half of the Normal mode.

[V-MIX] (Velocity Mix)

The S — 330 sounds the 1st and 2nd Tones assigned.

The 1st and the 2nd Tones are played simultaneously.
In this mode, the possible sounding voices are half of the Normal mode.

*For playing in stereo, such as a compact disk, laser disk or DAT, you must
sample right and left separately, match the start points, then play in the
V— Mix mode. You should set the Patch Parameter, [Output Assign], so
that each Tone is separately output from the assigned output jack. This
way, the 1st and 2nd Tones are sent separately.

Key Assign [Rotary/Fix]

When the S-330 receives a sequence of Note messages, it plays different

voice modules sequentially. However, if set to [Fix], the S-330 plays
the same module only when receiving the Note messages of the same
number. In other words, [Fix] plays the next sound without keeping
the previous decaying sound, and therefore can be effective for creating
the nuance of a percussive trill effect.

Unison Detune [-64 to 63]

When the Unison Key Mode is selected, one of the sounds can be
slightly detuned. 50 is roughly half of a semi -tone.

V-SW Thresh (Velocity Switch Threshold) [0 to 127]

When the V-SW Key Mode is selected, this determines the threshold
level for the two Tones. Higher values require harder playing to sound
a different Tone.

V-MIX Ratio (Velocity Mix Ratio) [0 to 127]

When the V — MIX Key Mode is selected, the level curve of the 2nd Tone
can be changed as shown in the picture. At zero, the volume obtained
is exactly as in the set level curve.

P. Bend Range [0 to 12]

This sets the maximum pitch alteration caused by moving the bender/'
modulation lever to the right or left extremes. Each number represents
a semi — tone : 2 is major 2nd. 3 is minor 3rd, 4 is major 3rd, 7 is

perfect 5th and 12 is one octave.

* Remember that the pitch cannot exceed the original pitch by more than
2 octaves, this applies to the pitch bend lever as well.

#lf you wish the S— 330 to receive Bender and Bend Range messages, set
the Receive Switch of [Bend] and [[Link]] to [On] in the [Message]
menu in the MIDI mode.

A.T. Assign (Aftertouch Assign)

This can select one of the following four effects caused by Aftertouch.

* Aftertouch is the effect obtained on the MIDI keyboard that features the
aftertouch function by pushing the key harder after playing it in a normal
manner.

*lf you wish the S— 330 to receive Aftertouch messages, set the Receive
Switch of [A.T] to [On] in the [Message] menu in the MIDI mode.

[[Link]] (Modulation)

Aftertouch controls the vibrato effect.

[Volume]

Aftertouch controls the volume of the sound.

[Cut-off]

Aftertouch controls the Cut — off point of the sound.

[Bend +] (Bend Up)

Aftertouch increases the pitch of the sound.

[Bend — ] (Bend Down)

Aftertouch lowers the pitch of the sound.

*The pitch bend range of Bend + and Bend — is determined by both

A.T. Sense and Bend Range.

A.T. Sense (Aftertouch Sensitivity) [0 to 127]

This sets the sensitivity of the aftertouch effect. At 127, the effect is

at its maximum.

Oct Shift (Octave Shift) [-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]

This can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard from -2 to 2 octaves
in an octave step.

Output Assign (Assignment of the Output Jacks) [Out 1 to Out 8, Tone]

[Out 1] to [Out 8] : The Patch currently in use is sent out from

the selected output jack (1 to 8).

[Tone] : Tones are sent out from the output jacks separately as set
with the relevant Tone Parameter in each Tone.(Page 73)

*ln the [Tone] mode, the maximum number of voices to be output is

decreased.

Level (Patch Level) [0 to 127]

This can set the output level of each Patch separately. At 127, each

Tone assigned to the Patch is played at its set level.

Name (Patch Name)

Up to 12 letters can be used for naming a Patch.

On the S-330, a Patch name is entered by using the INC and DEC
buttons. For moving the cursor, use the Cursor Buttons.

On the RC-100, a Patch name can also be entered with the Ten Key
Pad. Each push of the number key will call a letter in the sequence

 The S-330, an Open System

] m | The S-330 System Disk

The S-330 cannot be played as a musical instrument just after being turned
on. This is because the "brain" of the S-330 is still empty and therefore cannot
work, judge or command.

Power ON

To play the S-330 as a musical instrument, it is necessary to transfer the

System Ptrgram from the supplied System Disk to the "empty brain". In

other words, the System Program determines how the S-330 should function.

Switch the S-330 on, then insert the System Disk into the Disk Drive, and it will

automatically read the System Program from the disk. A devices which does
not function unless reading the system program are called "Open System".

What the S-330 can do
There are two kinds of System Programs for the S-330; the Sampler Sys-
tem disk which is supplied with the S-330, and an optional disk the SYS-333
"DIRECTOR-S".

The Sampler System disk is used for digitally recording sounds, editing wave
data, combining samples, etc. In other words, it is disigned to turn the S-330
into a Sampler. Data programmed using the Sampler System is called
Sound Data.

The SYS-333 "DIRECTOR-S" (optional) is provided for using the S-330 as a

MIDI sequencer including a sampling sound module. That is, the sequencer
data recorded on the S-330 itself, plays the S-330's sound module. Data
programmed using the SYS-333 sequencer disk is called Song Data. For a
detailed explanation on this system, see page 25.

* Please ask for the SYS-333 "DIRECTOR-S" at the store where you have
purchased the S-330.

 © Using a CRT Display will improve the operation on the S-330. The S-330
has two connectors for a CRT display, one is the Color Monitor connector
and the other is the Monochrome Monitor connector. The Color Monitor
connector is to be connected to a home computer display or a TV set

featuring an RGB socket. However, before connecting a display, check if

the display's input specifications match the output of the S-330 (see page
1 1 in the S-330's owner's manual). If not, it cannot be used with the S-330.
Even when you do not have the above display, a home TV with a video
input socket can do. Connect the Monocrome Monitor Connector to the

Input Video Socket on a TV. The display, however, will always be black
and white, even on a color TV.

© The Mouse MU-1 and the Remote Controller RC-100 (both optional) will

be extremely useful for operating the S-330 with the CRT display. The
Mouse requires only a forefinger and middle finger of the right hand to

operate the S-330, therefore you can use your left hand for playing the

keyboard. Therefore, except for turning on or off the unit or when chang-
ing a disk, you can operate the S-330 from a distance.

The Remote Controller RC-100 allows you to control the S-330 at a dis-

tance and to use the Ten Key Pad or Alpha Dial for quicker and easier
operation. Also, by connecting the Mouse to the rear panel of the RC-1 00,
you can use both units simultaneously with the S-330.

Use the EXT CTRL Connector for the connection of the Mouse or the
Remote Controller.

© Connect a microphone, or the output socket of the audio equipment from

which you wish to sample, to this socket when sampling a sound. Please
use a cardioid microphone if possible, to avoide picking up extraneous
noise.

© Through the MIDI THRU connector, an exact copy of the messages fed
from the MIDI IN will be transmitted.

© Normally, the MIDI OUT connector is hardly used. It is used only for trans-

mitting the S-330's internal data to a computer to save or edit it in the

computer's memory.

The S-330 is supplied with two System Disks and a Utility Disk. All these three
disks contain the same Sampler System Programs, therefore, any of them
can boot up the S-330. Each of the two System Disks contains a different
Sound Data. The Utility Disk contains the additional system programs that are
used for sampling or modifying wave data.

If is possible to write your preference on a disk, taht is, whether to use

the Mouse and/or RC-100 or not, using the "Save SYS" function. (See

page 138 in the owner's manual.) When the S-330 is turned on simply

by using the Power Switch, the S-330 is booted so that it can be con-
trolled by the controller (the Mouse and/or RC-100 or not) written on
the disk. If booted with a System Disk, it will not be cotnrolled by either
of them ("off").

3. Switch on the Display, keyboard amplifier, then mixer.

4. Insert the "Multi Patch" System Disk into the Disk Drive as shown

Receive Channels

The Play mode switches the S-330 to the usual playing mode. The following

shows the entire structure of the S-330; including the combination of Tones
which are made from sampled wave data. We will study this later on page 21
Now, listen to the Sound Data loaded from the System Disk.

The S-330 is played by the MIDI messages sent from an external MIDI con-
troller. The MIDI channels of the controller and the sound module should be
set to the same number, otherwise, the MIDI messages cannot be communi-
cated between the two devices. The S-330 has 8 MIDI receive channels
which can be simultaneously used. The following pictures show the MIDI
channels currently set on the S-330. Set the MIDI transmit channel of the con-

troller to one of these channel numbers to listen to the S-330's sound.

 Sampling and Playing

I I Sampling
if

"Synthesizing" can create a wide variety of sounds, but it is often very difficult

to synthesize natural sounds. "Sampling" is a completely different method,

which is recording real sounds which can be modified.

It is make such waveforms by combining
difficult to
sine waves and saw tooth waves.

Reverberation wave of an electric Piano 1 5 second .

after the attack

When the reverberations calm down, wave-forms
become gentle.

The S-330's sampling is conceptually like a tape recorder in that it records

sounds. However, the recording process is very different since the S-330 is

recording into computer memory. This is called a PCM sampling system,

which is used not only for samplers but also for rhythm machines or digital

effects such as digital delays. The PCM recording converts audio signal into

digital. It does this by examining (sampling) the incoming signal level a great
many times each second, and sequentially recording these different levels in

computer memory. The Sampling frequencies are the number of times per
second that a sample is made of the input signal. The S-330 can sample
either at 30,000 or 15,000 samples per second (30 or 15kHz).

 At higher sampling frequencies, the sampling time is shorter, but the audio
quality of the sample is better. On the other hand, at lower sampling frequen-

cies, longer samples are possible, but the audio quality of the sample is

slightly lowered.

The Roland S Series Samplers adopt the Dl system,' . .The most important element of the Dl technology is

which is a new technology invented for, resolving jhow" to achieve a correct calculation of the interval

the interval setting extremely accurate, therefore,
A sampler, different from a. CD player, should noise is greatly reduced, resulting in high quality

reproduce samples at various pitches. Many sounds.

samplers change pitche by changing frequency,
but the Roland S-series Samplers play the sampled
data by changing the intervals. This is called the

fixed sampling method. In fixed sampling; the gen-

erated noise can be cut at a certain frequency

band using a sharp digital filter, resulting in suc-

cessful playback of the original sound without

 The data of the smapled sound is called Wave data, and the place where the
Waves are sotred is a Wave Bank. The S-330 contains two Wave Banks, A
and B. Each Wave Bank can store one long tone or many smaller tones.

Now, let's sample a sound.

To be able sampled sound properly, set the MIDI channel of Voice

to hear the
Group A to the MIDI transmit channel of the controller, while in the Play mode.

Call the Sampling Menu.

The Sampling System is stored on the Utility Disk. Insert the Utility Disk into
the Disk Drive, then push the MODE button. Select "UTIL" using the Cursor
Buttons (AT), then push the EXECUTE button and MENU button to display
all the menus stored on the Utility Disk. With the Cursor Buttons (AT),
select "Sampling", then push the EXECUTE button. Now, the system program
necessary for sampling will be loaded.

 The Wave data you have sampled can be numbered from 11 to 18 or 21 to 28,
or 31 to 38, 41 to 48. Before sampling, select a Tone Number for the Wave data
you are to sample, using the relevant SUB MENU button.

Here, we select Tone Number 17 "Crash" (when the S-330 is booted up with the
"Multi Patch" System disk). When you sample new Wave data, the Tone
Number "Crash" will be erased. ("Crash" is erased from the internal Wave
Bank but retained on the System Disk, and therefore can be loaded back to the
internal memory at any time.) Move the cursor to T17, and push the EXECUTE

button. Here, pushing the SUB MENU button will return to the original Sampl-

ing Display.

 Now, you have selected a Tone Number. Next, you should assign a Wave
Bank where the new data is to be written.

"Crash" is stored in Wave Bank A, so select "A" here.

Set the Frequency (= sampling frequency), Time (sampling time), Orig. Key
(original key number).
At 30kHz sampling frequency, the sound quality can be higher, while longer
(double) sampling time can be obtained at 15kHz. When 15kHz is selected,
"X2" is indicated beside the sampling time. The sampling time can be set in 0.4
second steps. Even if there is no emply space in the Wave Bank, up to 1.2
second sampling (at 30kHz) is possible since the Wave data of "Crash" is 1.2
second long. In other words, you can select 0.4, 0.8 or 1.2 seconds.

The original key number determines which key on the keyboard should play
the original sample. For instance, when sampling a middle C(C4) piano sound,
the original key number may be set to C4. If, however, D4 is set, pressing the
middle "D" key will play a "C" note, and pressing the middle "C" key will play
a "Bb" note.

Now, connect for sampling.

To sample from a record, CD or TV, connect the output socket to the Input
Socket on the S-330 using an audio cable, then rotate the Recording Level
Knob MIN position. To sample your voice or natural sound around you,

Set the volume and Recording Level Knob to

the appropriate level, which is the

The S-330 features three types of sampling; Auto, Manual and Previous. For
a detailed explanation on Auto and Previous sampling,
see page 42 in the
owner's manual.

Here, we sample using Manual Sampling. Set the Pre-Tigger to zero.

for sampling.
Push the EXECUTE button, and feed a sound immediately.
The sampling
automatically stops after the set sampling time.

Now, play the keyboard.

The original sample will be played by pressing the Original
Key. If the sound
is distorted or cut, open the Command Window and re-sample at a lower
volume level. If the sample does not sound immediately after the
keyboard is
played, resolve it later, seeh "Playback points and Loop" on page 17.

 2| Editing Wave Data
SB

The Wave data of the sample can be modified. For example, unneeded por-
tions of the Wave data can be truncated, or you may process the tone of the

Wave data, or mix two Waves, or even draw a completely new waveform
using the optional Mouse (MU-1).

3 1 Setting Tone Parameters

If

The Wave data can be used intact or with different Tone Parameter setting.

Tone Parameters involve how the recorded Wave data is read and recon-
structed.

[Playback points and Loop]

Push the MODE button, select "EDIT" with the Cursor Buttons (AT), then
push the EXECUTE button. The Display shows the Edit Mode Menu. Select
"Loop" with the Cursor Buttons (AT), and push the EXECUTE button. The
Display shows the Loop Menu and the Tone you have sampled is selected.

Loop Display

An intact sample (= Wave) is played from the beginning to the end. By setting

the Start Point and the End Point, you can play only a particular portion of the
wave. For example, you meant to sample "Hello" but some noise or silence
is accidentally inserted before or after "Hellow", you can resolve it by setting

the Start Point before "He..." and setting the End Point after "...o" while actu-
ally listenning to the sound.

S-330 GUIDEBOOK 17

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

 -

Here, we set the Loop Mode to "Reverse". The loop you have made will be
played in reverse.

The Loop function, one of the outstanding characteristics of the S-330, plays

a part of the wave data (=loop) repeatedly, while a key is being pressed.

Set the Loop Mode to "Forward". Set the Address of the Loop Point to the

same number as the Start Point. As long as a key is pressed, the wave from
the start to the End points sounds repeatedly. For example, our "Hello" sam-
ple will be played as "Hello Hello Hello...". Now, move the Loop Point toward
the End Point. The portion from the Start to the End points is played once,
then the portion from the Loop to the End points is played repeatedly like

"Hello lo lo lo...".

Next, set the Loop Mode to "Alter". The portion from the Start to the End
points is played once, then the loop repeats, playing forward and backward
between the Loop and the End points "Hello ol lo ol lo...".

Using the above Loop function, you can make a long sustained sound suc-
cessfully by combining only a stable parts of a sound. For example the
sustained portion of a violin sample.

Other Tone Parameters are LFO, for modulating pitch, volume or tone, and
TVF and TVA for setting envelope curves of volume and tone. The Tone
Name is also a Tone Parameter. Consequently, a Tone consists of a Wave
and a set of Tone Parameters.

Patches
The S-330 allows you to assign each Tone to a different keyboard range. A
sample can be played in different pitches (= keyboard ranges), but may
sound unnatural or strange in much higher or lower pitches. When piched
more than one octave higher or lower the sound may appear completely
different from the original sample. So, when you wish to play an instrument
sound over a wide keyboard range, for instance, if using a piano sound,
divide the keyboard into 7 to 8 sections. Then sample a certain notes, and
distribute the tones made by the wave data of the sample to each keyboard
sections. In this way, all the key ranges will sound natural. It is also interesting
to distrubute a different sound to each keyboard range so that you can hear
various sounds depending on the key you play. The Tone
assignment to
each key range is called a Patch.

 Multi Timbre Function and 8 Individual Outputs
5 b |

Now, we are back to the Play Mode.

The S-330 can play up to 8 Patches at the same time. For example, when
there are two Patches; Piano and Flute, set the MIDI channel of the Piano to
1 and that of the Flute to 2. Set up two keyboards as shown below, and set

the MIDI channel of A to 1 and that of B to 2. Now, playing the A keyboard

will create a piano sound, while playing the B keyboard will create the flute

sound. Both the piano and

—
flute can be played simulteneously. In other
words, the S-330 can play more than one sound at the same time. This is cal-

led the Multi-Timbre function.

 The above example plays two Patches, but the S-330 can play up to 8
Patches simultaneously on different MIDI channels. Therefore, the S-330 can
be used as 8 sets of sound modules. However, the maximum number of
voices is 16.

Moreover, the S-330 can send each Patch or Tone separately through the
Individual Output Sockets.
There are 8 Individual Output Sockets numbered 8. The Output 1
1 through
Phone Socket and the Headphone Socket on the front panel send exactly the
same signal as Output Socket 1. "Mix" shown in the Play mode indicates that

 Data Saving and turning the
Power off
] m | Memory Backup of the Internal Memory
The entire data in the internal memory of the S-330 will be erased when the
unit is turned off. If you wish to retain the data, save it onto a floppy disk. Each
disk has a Protect Tab to prevent accidental erasure of data. Normally, set
the Protect Tab to the "PROTECT" position, and set it to "WRITE" when
saving data onto the disk. If you try to save with the Protect Tab set to the

"PROTECT" position, the Display shows "Disk Protected" and data cannot
be saved. Always return the Protect Tab to "PROTECT" after saving.

except when writing (recording) data.

The entire data in the internal memory of the S-330 can be saved onto a new
floppy disk (Roland MF2-DD) with "Backup" procedure explained on page
136 in the onwer's manual. The Roland MF2-DD can be purchased in a store
where you purchased the S-330.

2_ i Making a Collection Disk

Various Sound Library disks for the S-330 are optional. (See the separate
sheet.) The Sound Library disks L-501 to 509 are sound data for the S-50
which can be used for the S-330 if converted using the "Conv -> S330" pro-
gram stored on the utility Disk. (See page 145 in the owner's manual.)

It may be a good idea to make your favorite collection from the Sound Lib-
raries, Sound Data supplied with the S-330, or your own samples.

S-330 GUIDEBOOK 23

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

 First of all, delete all data except for the data you want, using the "Delete"
function in the EDIT mode. (See page 63 in the owner's manual.) Then insert

the disk which contains the Tone you wish to use into the Disk Drive.

If you wish to use a Patch stored on the disk without modifying it, load the

Patch Parameters (including Split setting) to the S-330, using the "Load
Patch" function (see page 124 in the owner's manual), then load the Tones

to the Tones of same number, one after another using the "Load Tone" (see
page 126 in the owner's manual). If the Tone of same number is used, load
to the another Tone, then split set over again.

If you wish to collect many different Tones to make a Patch, collect Tones you
wish to use with the "Load Tone" function, then make a Patch in the Split or
Patch Parameter Display.

When loading a Tone, watch that the wave is not too long for the remaining

memory of the Wave Bank.

When you've finished collecting data, or wish to turn off the unit in the middle

of the collecting procedure, save the data using the "Backup" function (see
page 136 in the owner's manual).

3 1 Turning the Power off

H
When you have saved data onto a disk, remove the disk, then turn off the

units in the following order.

1. Turn off the Display, Keyboard Amplifier then Mixer.

2. Turn off the S-330 by pushing the Power Switch.

3. Turn off the MIDI Controller.

"DIRECTOR-S"
1 1 MIDI Sequencer and Sound Module
u
An S-330 booted with the SYS-333 "DIRECTOR-S" is a MIDI sequencer that

features a sampling sound module.

The sequencer section records the MIDI messages fed into the MIDI IN Con-
nector and can play them back, sending them to the MIDI OUT
or to the sam-

pling sound module section. The sampling sound

module section works

almost the same as when booted with the

the S-330 (except that the sampling wave data cannot be edited).

The sampler sound module can be played by MIDI messages received

still

at the MIDI IN, but is also played by the messages sent from the sequencer

section when it is playing. The S-330's sound module section has 8 different
MIDI channels and, therefore works just like 8 independent sound modules.

 2 1 Programming Patterns
B
The SYS-333's seuqncer allows you to make patterns of up to 16 bars, and
make a song by combining these existing patterns.

A pattern isprogrammed by recording an actual performance (=real time

recording). Each channel, in other words, each Patch is recorded separately.
For example, you can set the receive channel of the bass guitar to the same
number as the transmit channel of the keyboard which is to be used for

recording the performance, and set the receive channel of the piano sound
module to the transmit channel of the keyboard. Then playing the keyboard
will have the same effect as overdubbing, both the bass and piano being
recorded. By repeating this, song data using up to 16 channels may be
entered. The recorded data can be finely modified with the Microscopic Edit-
ing functions. The entire channel data can also be edited.

3 I Programming a Song
Up to 200 patterns, or 15,000 notes can be used for a Song. When making
a song, you can used the same pattern as many times as you want.

Up to 6 Songs can be stored in the S-330's internal memory. However, the

maximum number of notes that the internal memory capacity can accept is
15,000. That is, if a Song uses 15,000 notes, no more song can be written in

memory, while all the 6 Songs of 2,000 notes can be written in memory.

These Songs can be played in sequence with 2 to 3 second interval between

two Songs.
