The S770 is a good sounding sampler. We take that for granted these days. Moving along...fmr wrote:Interesting things left from Roland lineup are V-Synth, S-770 sampler, V-Drums Drum module, and organ module and that's it.
As for the V-Drums module - have you *tried* any of these? I had a V-Drums kit for some years, and the sound module was by far the worst part of the system. For those who still think the V-Drum system is a physically modelled drum engine, this is not true - it's just fairly small samples, with DSP/COSM engines for FX. Proper modern drum sample libraries are *way* more natural sounding. Hint - have a listen to the drum sounds in the JV-1080 plugin. That was more or less what you got in the V-Drums brains of the time, with a few more drum sample options, a different interface and some pseudo modelling stuff like being able to switch shells (just picking different samples, really).
I'm sure more recent V-Drum brains are better sounding than the ones from ten years ago, but everytime I've listened to demos/playing even on recent kits I'm frankly a little appalled.
There is nothing worth modelling from the V-Drums imo - the good things about it are the kit/pads/hardware, but use something else for the sounds.
