I didn't think it was possible to have the 1.5.1 waveforms when using OS2. Am I missing something?

Make a new sound.

The V can handle it.

I doubt Roland will enter into an entirely new field (for them) on a VC card project.

Safe to speculate that they'll adapt something they already patented.

Think along the lines of TB series, Juno 106, JX-8p.

I like that idea. I'd love to see the ability to have the PCM's interact linear or exponentially for some truly WRONG sounds.

"that's why I'm going to undertake the task of copying all 342 samples to recover the old sounds and patches "

How will you do this?

<t>It's not so much the presets as the unique OS 1.x PCM's that are irretrievable without reloading the old OS. <br/> <br/> I suspect Roland will release an update of OS2 that will unlock the OS 1.x PCM waves, allowing them to be loaded into the synth as a project.<br/> <br/> I WISH they would allow...

Absolutely agree. After all, this ain't Kazaa...those who have OS2 have already paid for the hardware end, yes?

<t>Apparently, the OS 1.5 PCM waves are "locked." Apparently, Roland USA is in the process of trying to obtain a license from Roland Corporate in Japan for these waveforms so poor saps like us can access them by merely loading the "old.prj" deal.<br/> <br/> At present, the only way to play your OS 1...

Is it possible to go back abd forth between OS 1.51 and OS2?

Is this the only workaround to retrieving all your old patches?

<t>Does anyone know if Roland will address the problem of non-reverse compatibility? I saw no such statement about OS 1.51 waveforms rendering a "Disk Error" message.<br/> <br/> Perhaps a future OS upgrade or addendum to OS2 (2.1)?<br/> <br/> Is it destructive to reload OS 1.51 to retrieve the old s...

That's sort of what I was suggesting, but when you reload your project, can the project patches append to the new ones?

<t>Would this be a possible procedure?<br/> <br/> 1. save the current project (includes all of my custom patches) to the CF card<br/> <br/> 2. upgrade<br/> <br/> 3. cherry-pick the sounds loaded with the upgrade, whittling them down to only the essentials<br/> <br/> 4. append to them with the conten...

I now have 1.50 and a poopload of customized patches. When I upgrade to version 2, will the old patches be overwritten, or can you have the new patches append to the existing list?
