Hans Zimmer

After the recordings had been edited, instruments were programmed for Hans' sampler of choice at the time, Roland's S760, which wasn't a bad option, considering that each unit took only 1U of rack space and Hans needed over 30 of them to play back the orchestra.

"The equipment I am currently using (for those of you out there that care) is as follows: 1. PC running CubaseVST score, Sound Forge, development kit for the appropriate console. Various other bits and pieces of software doing weird and wonderful things. 2. Roland JV1080 with extra sound cards, Roland S-760 Sampler, EMU ProteusFX, EMU UltraProteus, SoundScape hard disk recorder (I'm bored already) and loads of CD-ROMs full of all manner of lovely sounds for you to hear."

"Typically, I'll bring a rig with an Apple Power Macintosh 9500 running Mark of the Unicorn's Performer, two Emulator EIV samplers with 128 MB of RAM, and two Roland S-760 samplers. Sometimes, I'll also bring my other Emulator samplers: two 3XPs and two ESI-32s. The S-760s are playing guide stuff — the orchestral string and horn mock-ups that I've sequenced at home — that I can refer to, but these tracks seldom end up as a part of the final score. The EIVs and the 3XPs are the machines actually laying down what will end up on the final score as the drums, percussion, and so on."

Silver Disco

The Roland S-760 was used exclusively on the production of Silver Disco's debut album "Red Unicorn". It can be heard in almost every song, where it's key role was sampling old disco records from his personal collection over the years. It's also apparent that his cat is also a big fan of the sampler. Today, it is mostly used to bounce samples from his DAW and back in, achieving a more "warm" and fitting sound DAW's simply cannot produce. This is not limited to bouncing synth stems as well.

"The midi out of the TD10 and D Drum3, and Notron sequencer went into an MX8 midi patchbay, this allowed me the speed of direct analog input to the V & D brains, but the flexibility to route and merge anything via midi. Additional midi sound sources I used were the Alesis DM pro and an Emu Audity 2000 (the audity was never used on the record). I could also access my samplers, an old Kurzweil K2000 and a Roland S760, plus sounds in realtime from my beatboxs, an MC303 and a Tribe ER1. However for this Crim record no beatboxes were used. ProjeKct X is a different story....beatboxes survived!!!"

"I've got an 8100 Power Mac that was basically outdated the second I bought it. I use Performer, and I have four 760 Roland samplers. I have a Korg TR rack sound module, a Korg O1RW sound module, a Korg X3R, an old Proteus FX and a Roland JD-1080. I've got a Roland R-8M. My keyboard is a Roland D-70. I have an old Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler. I have a Tascam DA-88 and a Mackie 32*8 mixing console, plus a couple of Lexicon reverb units."

> I just got into the Roland S-760, and that’s a really cool adjunct to all the other MIDI gear I’ve got. It has a fabulous library, and I like the fact that it has a video screen. (from Mark Snow's interview in the Mar 1996 issue of Keyboard magazine)
