ROLAND MS-1

[max headroom]

hi there

I have a MS-1 and I love it's simplicity and constraints too.
It is indestructible and so straightforward I would never want to
leave it now.

Tough I have a firmware problem too. I tried to upload the mid file
distributed on the roland site and it has never worked out.
My MS-1 is in coma ever since then.
I am pissed off and angry because this is really an awsome machine.

Does anyone know where a correct mid file (with firmware that works properly)
could be found? Any firmware would be welcome.

Did you have a similar experience?

Could anyone help please.

Yep, same issue here in Belgium.

I noticed on Rolandclan, EVERYONE has that problem.

Not funny

i wisjh I could help, I wont ever update my MS-1


but wait, is there anyway to delay the midi file? I remember updating something via sysex and it didn't work and bricked the hardware if there was no delay (like 15ms)

my 2 cent

trying to get into hardware sampling and want to get rid of DAW

They seem to pop up on eBay pretty frequently. Pair it with a multi track recorder and you are well on your way to being DAW free my friend.

Getting one for $80+tax, but they seem to be rare, so why not? The 4 different sample modes sound gritty already.

I just bought a modded MS-1, my 2nd ms tho. The mod is a pot for changing the clock sync which changes the sampling rate. I’ll try to record something with it and post it up here.
