Tell me in the comments if you knew the Roland W30 🎹 AGD
Acabo de adquier uno hace 1 mes..y esta buenísimo.. pero el único problema q tengo es, cuando voy a guardar la secuencia me aparece disk full..te agradecerá si me dijeras como liberar la memoria interna..desde.ya muchas gracias!
@@ivanamartinez3133 the W30 have only few seconda for the samples. So if the disk Is full you need to use another disk or erase some samples.
Disculpa mi ignorancia, cuando decis disco te referis al diskete? Xq tengo un gotek en mi w30, y tengo q guardar las secuencias en un pendrive..será q see rompió el pendrive?
@@ivanamartinez3133 I mean floppy disk I still have the original one. Not having the key function, I cannot answer you with confidence, but I would try to change it.
Decis q pruebe co otro pedrive?🤫
Amazing Sounds🔥
Thank you!
The sounds are amazing!!! Can I get this? uauuuuuuu!!!!!!🥰🥰
Nice video. I have one since ~1996 and now with SCSI2SD which load files very quickly and is reliable. Great sounds and playing.
Thanks you for your comment!
@@AGDugros Do you have some sounds that can be shared / downloaded? I have in SCSI2SD standard and friends can open files ".OUT" or ".W30".
@@cbraunsteins at the moment I've only floppy disks and I don't have a floppy Reader in my Mac 😂 . Sorry
Keyboard magazine did a review of the W30 and criticised it for its complicated user interface and lousy factory ROM samples. IMHO, Roland should have added internal effects to make it a true keyboard workstation although it's 8 separate audio outputs was a great feature.
Muito bom Sue Video...Parabéns...Eu vivo no BRASIL, e usei muito o Roland w-30...e S-550...
Thank you!
What many people forget to mention, is that the W30 is a pure MONO synth without any FX processor. That often makes it sound sad and poor. So if one wants a W30 you really need a good SFX processor as well to make it shine!
I absolutely agree, in fact it has 8 separate audio outputs!
u cannot pan anything...🙄🙄🙄🙄@@AGDugros
see, when recording on a Roland W30, the sound playback becomes clearer and denser. I understand that this is due to its internal circuitry, but we could transfer the software part onto a computer !! and use similar or identical converters for convenience and increased memory capacity. Additionally, take a look at the sequencer - it has a "Record by key press" function and real-time quantization with no delays. Programmers and musicians can create a version of this software for PCs, which would allow us to improve the sound quality and benefit from the convenient sequencer.
To me it was the Roland with the floppy disk. That's how you refer to it if you are a little child. A little child that was interested in these devices though. So it was later that I knew it was the W30.

Thank you!
I am here for the bad english! And for the W30 :3
Thanks for this nice demo. What reverb did you use here?
Thanks for your comment. Only a reverb in the master bus. HALL by Ik Multimedia
I just picked up one of these at my local pawnshop for $300. Trying to wrap my head around the sequencer. My question is, how do you arrange a song in this unit? Confused, the manual is not very helpful. Thanks for any help offered.
You've a 16 track midi sequencer. You can record One track at time. You can punch in and punch out, you can enter the notes by playing or step by step. I've recorded a lot of songs with the W30.
Where do you found these fantastic patches?
Can share with us?
Sorry for the delay.Is my personal library that I've collected in the years. Unfortunatly the sounds are stored in floppy disk and I don't have a floppy Reader. Peraphs in future.
I’ve been using mine as a midi controller since 2007. I feel bad that I didn’t know it was this capable. It was given to me with the system disk and everything. Where can I get those patches from?
Thanks for your comment. You can search on internet the s50 sounds are now free to download. The others sounds are original samples from Roland store in the 90’s.
it takes 720k s50 s550 disks

Hello, I just got this keyboard, Roland W30. But I am confused on how to get different sounds on a floppy disk so I can play them. Do I have to make the sounds myself somehow? You mentioned an usb emulator. I don't know what that is. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You need to load the sound in the internal Memory and after you can save your personal floppy disk. The usb emulator replace the floppy unit. You can bought a USB emulator online. Good look with your W30
Thanks for the help. My W30 came with several disks but I cannot load any of the patches on them. I insert the system disk to turn the machine on, but when I insert another disk, I don't see any new patches (other than the default patches on the system disk). What do I have to do? Thanks again!
@@janisstepanik4028 you need to LOAD the floppy in the internal memory and the patches wil be overwrited. When you whant to create a new set of patches you need to load the individual sound from the floppy and then WRITE a new floppy.
BAD GEAR ....!!!✨🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣✨...I have one for the last 6 months....I made a big mistake buying...🤔🤔...u cannot pan anything....only mono...✨👎👎👎👎...the sound can only enter mono and out mono ✨🫣🫣🫣🫣...the time to sample very short ...the frequency poor...the loop is not solving the problem...a very primitive sampler....no effects...and bad menu...!!!...
From your comment I see that you don't understand what you are talking about.
In 1988 w30 was the maximum technology possible and if today we have incredible samplers it is also thanks to w30.
Its advantage today is precisely the real 12bit sound, much sought after through many bit crusher plugins, the dry and dirty sound throuth the 8 mono out, etc., so your review is completely wrong.
✨🎼🎹🎶🎹...BAD GEAR....I sample for the last 8 months....the sound is poor and no pan ✨🙄🙄...mono in...mono out ...!!!...THE W-30 doesn't sound at all like you present in the video...the item has no effects...
You’re serious? The sound in the video is directly recorded thru the Roland W30. The Roland W30 have 8 mono out. It’s a 12bit sampler, I repeat 12bit. The Roland W30 doesn’t have internal effects. The Roland W30 is a 1988, I repeat 1988! workstation. If we have Stereo samplers with 32 or 64 bit and unlimited memory, effects, coffee machine etc… is because Roland and others brand was made these VINTAGE GEARS. So I think that you don’t understand the beauty today of a Lofi and vintage sound, and you don’t understand what is a Roland W30. 😂
