Convert Load on the S760
The S-760 is capable of reading the older Roland Sampler libraries (S-550 and W-30), as well as the AkaiTM S-1000/ S-1100 Sampler libraries. This is done with the Convert Load feature.
1. Press Mode.
2. Move the cursor to F5 Disk and press S1.
3. Press the Value/Menu button.
4. Scroll down the page with the cursor down arrows to 8: Convert Load, and press the S1 button
5. You will be on the Convert Load page. For a W-30 or S-550 Sampler disk, you will see (TG) Patch, which is switchable between Patch or Tone. (AR) is for Area Number on the disk. (CD) is for Current drive.
The AkaiTM S-1000 library can be loaded using the Convert Load feature as well (through SCSI only). Use the above steps 1-4. When you come to the Convert Load page you will see the drive parameter Part. (_) Select between partitions A-I. To switch between Volumes, move the cursor to Volm (_) and select the Volume area. After locating the specific Volumes or Programs (Patches), mark the targets with the S1 button, and press F3/ConvLD.
Note: Convert loading of Akai Programs will take approximately 8 times longer than native Roland files.

Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
