I picked up a W-30 w/scsi a few years back. I am using a similar light for my screen, even though I have a backlight replacement, I just leave it as is. It's a wonderful controller. I put my computer keyboard on top of the floppy disk area (sits nice and flat) and a Novation Nocturn on the open area to the right. After checking out the sampling function I picked up all the Roland samplers from yesteryear, from the s50 (with monitor) to the 760. Even though it became more of a performance sequencer live for Liam, I really enjoy sampling with it. Great video! I have many original Roland sample disks that the W-30 can read. When I see a new wizbang midi controller, I just laugh, so much can still be done done with gear from a certain era.

Completely bowled over and I didn't even know till watching this, these type of keyboards were in existence to accomodate the little floppy disks. Charley I presume must have been made on this. I think Njoi and Altern 8 used Korg, not sure. I bet on this particular one, you could quite easily record LFO-LFO. Incredible :-)

I've loved so much this machine in the 90's,and made many live acts whith the w30 synchronized whith the raven quasimidi.I still have it,full of dust,don't know if it still works.Actually,it is a little obsolete , whith the own interest to have 8 separate mono outputs.If you use 2 outputs channels and assign a left part of a sample to one,and the right part to another one,you have a stereo sound (2x 30khz mono and 16 bits definition).The definition its 16 bits 30khz mono sounds,a little "small" today comparing to the actual definitions,and the floppy disks are very difficult to find.Mine had a hard disk and I had added the kw30 wich is a kit that allows it to work whith a scsi hard disk.And the songs are so long to load! but it stays a funny toy.
@petrolheadkingdom2 жыл бұрын
The days before you had laptops and programs like Cubase and Garage Band, I could imagine it being quite laborious to make tracks like that back then (the process was probably much slower and longer too) yes actual music making programs did exist back then but even then the technology wasn’t quite there yet and it wasn’t like you could take a whole computer with monitor and keyboard and put it on stage with you plus Liam probably had like three or four of these keyboards playing different tracks (or he made a live mix which had the setlist for gigs and stuff) but regardless of all those things some great songs by the likes of The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Altern 8, Fatboy Slim, Shades of Rhythm, Orbital and others were made on things like this so you can’t deny it was worth it 😁

Why would liam sell it , then again Roland must have sent him a shit load of w 30s and I still noticed at least one on stage up till 2005 , the screen is gone on mine works well if I shine a strong light on it but really badly faded any body can put these samples into their own w 30 , pretty much all originals are here on KZbin but what liam done all them years ago in his bedroom with this machine is just brilliant , I prefer the old sound liam had before using software it's like a certain human edge or rawness got lost along the way , love this machine ,organic input all the way
