Trivia about the S-760
   
  Akai once sold an S-760... but it was a DVD player.
   
  Hans Zimmer is said to have over forty S-760! If so, he deserves the 'S-760 User Extraordinaire' title.
   
  Jeremy Roberts, Sgroup member, was the music supervisor for the Broadway musical 'Jekyll and Hyde' that played at the Plymouth Theater in 1997. He needed to control the sampler from quite a distance and did some tests. He found out that the mouse would still work with a 200 ft cable provided the RC-100 was used as well. Impressive!
   
  The performing artists company 'Le Cirque du Soleil' was using six S-760 during their 'Dralion' US tour. Richard Oberacker (band leader) had three, Stephen Poulin (keyboards) had two and Marco Venditti (drums) had one. The guitar player, Christian Sylvestre, was using two VG-8.
   
  Quoted from a Roland Japanese engineer who worked on the S samplers: "For our concept for the S series sampler, since the S-50 was released, we designed our samplers as musical instruments. TVF and TVA, and as you see, SMT (sample mix table) is an archetype for all of the Digital Synthesizers now in use. And MOUSE and RGB interfaces go on VS-2480's VGA/MOUSE operations.".
   
  Ingo Debus, Sgroup member, helped Emagic modify their S-760 editor for SoundDiver. Respect!
   
  Robyn Miller, co-founder of Cyan, used a S-760 when composing the music of Riven, the sequel to Myst.
