Roland S-550 Vintage Digital Sampler 2U Rack Mount W/ Gotek - 100V
The Roland S-550 is a vintage rackmount digital sampler released in 1987. It offers 16-voice polyphony, sample rates of 30 kHz and 15 kHz, and doubled sample memory compared with the earlier S-50. The rear panel includes eight individual outputs plus a mix output, making it useful for studio routing and external mixing.
It is important to note that the S-550 was designed to be used with a screen and mouse. There are modern adaptors to get this set up with modern equipment. To use the sampler without the screen is extremely difficult and very limited as you cannot view all the menu options when using the small screen on the sampler itself.
