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)

Isham's 'orchestra pit' is, however, no slouch, with several Akais (S3200, CD3000, S1000, S1000PB and three S2000s), three Emu E4Xs, three Roland S760s, plus a selection of older units. "They each have their own characteristics — the Akais have a tremendous transient response, and for percussion they're just brilliant; the Rolands have a warmth about them. I also have so many because of the various different programmers that work in the different formats. Eric Persing of Spectrasonics pretty much works for Roland, and he's just so good that I had to have some Roland gear to take advantage of his wonderful work."

Tweet from Robin Beanland in which he says he used a Roland S-760 for the Killer Instinct soundtrack.

In a feature by Future Music on MusicRadar, Lifelike is shown using the Roland S-760 in his Paris studio, highlighting its role in the creation of his track "So Electric."

In this shot there are two S-760 samplers on the top left hand side of the rack.

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.

"I've got an 8100 Power Mac that was basically outdated the second I bought it.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."

Kenji Kawai is confirmed to use a Roland S-760, as it is listed on his official website under the "Profile" section.

When asked about using Roland S-7xx samplers (specifically, the S-760), he gave a thumbs up, suggesting that is what he used for his samplers. Further proof of him using the sampler can be seen with his usage of the L-CD701 Rhythm Section Vol. 1, L-CD702 Orchestral Family Vol. 2, and SV-SP70-01 Library Preview Disc's.

Frank Klepacki confirmed his use of the Roland S-760 sampler among other equipment in the creation of music, as detailed in his own words: "I was using an ASR-10 sampler, a Roland S760 sampler, and a Roland JD-990 synth module to create all the music. And of course a REAL guitar." This information is substantiated by the archived Facebook note titled "BEHIND THE MUSIC OF THE FIRST COMMAND & CONQUER."

"Shakedown was all-electronic. Roland S-760 sampler and various libraries, Korg MS20 analogue synth… perhaps others… I forget."

"A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY!

Ex-BBC Radiophonic Workshop (Blake’s Seven, The Living Planet) and current film and TV composer Elizabeth Parker is selling the famous circular studio she took with her from the BBC when the RW was disbanded.

The studio is virtually complete, including nearly all the equipment she has been using on a regular basis in her profession - up to and including a film project she is finishing in the first half of November before the studio is dismantled. Just add a mother keyboard, mastering, monitoring, and video, and you have virtually the complete set- up used for prestigious projects like the BBC’s World Cup coverage, The Human Body, Weird Nature, Animal Olympics, the Monty Python Holy Grail DVD, Michael Palin TV series, etc.

The custom woodwork and cabling alone is believed to have cost £4500 in the late 1980s, and is probably one of the most famous studio designs in the world. When it was removed from the BBC, the installation and re-design at Liz's private studio was masterminded by Rupert Brun, one of the BBC's most highly respected engineers.

Full documentation is included in the sale. Removal and/or packing and shipping is a serious task, so please bear that in mind before bidding. VEMIA will assist at cost if you need."
