Critic Reviews

Roland RSS10

soundonsound.com

The Roland RSS-10 Sound Space Processor offers an intriguing approach to 3D sound, delivering unique spatial effects for audio enthusiasts. However, its expensive price tag and limited one-channel processing per unit may deter potential buyers. Users may also encounter challenges with mono compatibility and convoluted software documentation, which can hamper the overall experience. While the ability to create dynamic soundscapes is appealing, the unpredictable nature of the effects and the need for careful setup diminish its practicality for some applications. In a world where many prefer simpler solutions, the RSS-10 feels like more of a niche product rather than a must-have for every studio.

"Well, it's the best for sampling and live. And of course, don't forget the MiniMoog. The S1000 has got very long samples, but it has got limitations. I mean it's only got 16 voices — I put a lot of my samples through Roland's Sound Space system which gives them a 'sensaround' effect live. This means that they are in stereo, which cuts your voices on the Akai to eight. Play a long Russian chorus for two bars, and you're left with only four voices. Play a few more things and you are out of voices — you get digital crackings, the machine stealing from itself and so forth. Its capacity is limited. At London and Cologne I made up for it by using a minimum of stereo samples, instead putting mono string and flute samples through automatic panning effects. Another thing — if there was a machine failure it would take seven minutes to re-load the Akai from DAT-ROM. That's why I have the Prophet 2000 as a backup, so if it happened I can make bridging sequences. Just press one key. In future I'd like to use two S1000s on stage, plus of course the MiniMoog."
