Control Roland W-30

Control Roland W-30

2012-12-02 by djo3yk

I've got a buddy who needs to get some sounds off of a W-30 and the display is toast.  Not sure how to navigate.  I was hoping I could use the BCR to control the W-30 remotely in order to grab some sounds off of it.  Anyone have a W-30 template or perhaps a VST that would accomplish the same thing?  I'm totally open to any suggestions.  Would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

I'm skeptical that it'd be very manageable to manipulate the W-30 over midi in the way you need to. One possible solution: I believe the W-30 is compatible with the S-330, and those are dirt cheap these days (I just picked one up for $60). You could pick one up, load your sounds and resample them, then sell the 330 again (or keep it and ditch the W-30). I don't know the fine points, but I've seen the W-30 described as the keyboard version of the 330, so I'm guessing the programs would be pretty similar.

Hi Mike,

I've tried registering for http://smfw30.svetlik.be/ but was unable to nor was I able to download http://smfw30.svetlik.be/download/SMFW30_Setup.exe   I received a "Could not find virtual file SMFW30_Setup error".  Do you know where else I might be able to find that application?

Thanks,
Joey.

I was poking around there and the only thing I could find that worked was the forum link. it looks like it has recent posts, so it might be worth making a post and asking what's up.

I tried posting but you need to register in order to post and registration is disabled.  Was hoping a member on this forum is also a member on that forum so they could send a message to the sys admin to open up registration or at least some mechanism whereby I can contact the sys admin.  Thanks for your help Mike.  Appreciate it.

Cheers,
Joey.
