Roland "Wave and SuperNATURAL Expansion": compressed and 16-bit linear formats

2 Apr 2022, 05:08

If you are interested in learning more about how Roland uses and manages the expansions that contain the various multisamples, I have tried to clarify a bit. How is it possible to upload 900MB of samples into 256MB Flash? What has changed since the U-110 / U-220 expansions, from the JD-800 to the Fantom? This and much more in the following link 🙂

Hey Benis, thanks for the interesting information. I'd like to know, do user samples made in SFZ benefit from the Roland compression using the SVZ sample converter provided by Roland? Trying to see how to fit a Rhodes multisample library in SFZ with all the other expansions Roland makes.

No, with SVZ sample converter it is not possible to use compression: all samples are in 16 bit linear
