Sample CD-ROM library in Roland S-770 and compatible format
Drumscapes Volume 1 is a collection of drum samples, including single hits and full grooves, formatted on CD-ROM for the Roland S-770 and compatible samplers and sample players.
From the CD-ROM’s booklet: “Drumscapes are direct to digital, live recordings of fully produced studio drum tracks. In addition, each song track includes every individual drum and cymbal hit for digital sampling.”
The recording quality is extremely good: the sounds are very punchy, full-bodied, and the drum patterns are tight and perfectly looped. The single hits also are recorded very well, so it’s easy to create your own drum kits, picking and choosing from the different volumes.
The vibe here is for the most part on the acoustic side of rock/pop, with the occasional venture into hip-hop or Motown – These samples are really good and if you play any of the styles listed here below, you will not be disappointed.
The styles included are: Rhythm & Blues Hip Hop/Rap Adult Contemporary/Light Jazz Ballad Medium Rock Fast Heavy Rock Power Ballad Fast Shuffle Slow Shuffle Pop/Country Ballad Fast Techno Rock Medium Techno Rock Uptempo Funk Slow Motown and as a bonus there’s also a full set of percussion samples. In order to use these CD-ROM you will need a SCSI CD-ROM drive connected to your S-series sampler or XV-5080. Keep in mind that certain sound data will need 32MB of memory, supported only by the S-760. The S-770 and 750 have less.

A Lexicon MPX-1 multi-effect processor was used to add reverb/ambience to the samples.
