Director-S for the Roland S-330?

[mingle]

Hi Guys,

I'm currently awaiting the arrival of my first ever rack/module - a nice Roland S-330...

Up until now, I've only ever felt comfortable with keyboards - I used to have an S-50 and loved it!

I've read a bit about the excellent Director-S software and have heard rumblings about there being a version out there that doesn't require the original program dongle.

Does anyone know where I'd be able to locate a copy, as I reckon it'd be much better than using an outboard sequencer.

Cheers,

Mike.

I've got a disk image. Check your inbox for a PM shortly.

Tyler, you're a legend... Now all I need is an S-330 to use it on

Cheers,

Mike.

Hello,

I am in similar situation - awaiting the arrival of Roland S-330.

I like to use onboar sequencer and I need to find copy of Director-S software that doesn't require the original program dongle.

Could anybody help me to find it?

Thanks in advance,

Dmitriy

No problemo friend.

I uploaded a RAR archive for you with everything you need, disk images, SDisk for windows, manuals:

If you only need the (dongle-free) Director-S disk image, then use this link:

D-Collector, thanks for you great help!

Could you explain, is "Roland Utility Disk 1.03.OUT" system disk or not?

Also I see that you old link to "director-s" video does not work. I have not found any video or tutorial about this sequencer.

You're welcome!

Yes, it is the system disk, and must be booted. Alternatively if you make a disk with your favorite sounds/patches the system can copy the OS onto that disk, so you can boot your favorite sound disk.

If you wish you can also boot with the sequencer disk, but if you want to use onboard sounds you must load in the utility disk afterwards. If you want to use the S-330 as sequencer only, then the Director-S disk will do.

No, unfortunately I no longer have those videos up, but there wasn't much help in them anyway.

Luckily the sequencer is very easy to use.

It's a long time since I used it, but I remember SDISK being pretty straightforward to use (I used it to write Roland library disks for my W-30, on a DOS computer). You'll need 720kB floppies, and you'll need to format them correctly, if the S-330 works the same as the W-30 in that respect.

The Roland Sampler Users Group is an old but valuable resource that is well worth browsing….clunky site but still maintained and active!

Also, I think there were several versions of Director-S - I seem to recall different samplers required different versions or something like that - i.e. Director S S330 edition or s550 edition etc

Just had a look and here are links to S-330 and S-550 versions of director-S

Yes, but those files hosted on sgroup require a dongle to be fully functional.

Did anyone ever try my re-hacked S-550 Director-S disk image? I never did test it myself. I should still have it, if anyone is still interested. No guarantees that it actually works, though.

I'd like to try it. Just restored my S-550. It's finally working right.

I'll see if I can track it down here...

The ZIPPYshare links are down? Any chance you could re-up these disks?!

Anyone else. Looking for the dongle free version of Director S for the S-330!

Thanks!
