I heard threr are additional infos about this machine here
http://www.synthman.com/roland/support/supplementalnotes/index.html
but i can't access it, so if someone can tell me... :)
the instructions:
**Loading a New Operating System through MIDI**
The MIDI file, O_S112s.MID included with this text file has
the System of the MS-1 that can be loaded from a MIDI
sequencer that can play Standard MIDI Files. We recommend that
you upgrade your MS-1 with this system disk even if your MS-1
reads the newer Sundisk Flash RAM cards since this newer
system fixes some problems with MS-1 operations that were on
earlier systems.
1. Connect the MIDI out of the sequencer to the MIDI in of
the MS-1. 2. Load the O_S103.MID MIDI file into the sequencer.
3. Turn the MS-1 off and turn it back on again while pressing
the 4 and 5 buttons. This will take you to the "Boot Mode". 4.
Play the MIDI file on the sequencer. You should see
"Receiving...." displayed on the MS-1 screen display. When the
file is completely loaded the MS-1 display will read
"Completed" and return to the Bank A screen. If you upgrade
your system, the sounds that were in the A and B banks will be
lost, so we recommend that you back them up either to a PCMCIA
card or bulk dump them through MIDI. The steps for creating a
bulk dump backup of the Internal banks sounds is on page 23 of
the manual.
**Restoring the MS-1 Factory Demo from this disk** We also
included the factory demo on this disk if you should want to
reload it. To load in the original demo: 1. Connect the MIDI
out of the sequencer to the MIDI in of the MS-1. 2. Load the
first MIDI file 1_DEMO.MID into the sequencer. 3. On the MS-1
press the Pad mode button and then press the Utility button
and scroll to the Bulk Receive function with the cursor arrow
buttons. 4. Play the MIDI file on the sequencer. You should
see "Receiving...." displayed on the MS-1 screen display. 5.
After the first file has loaded, the MS-1 display will show
"Waiting next..." 6. Load the next MIDI file 2_DEMO.MID and
play the sequence on your sequencer. 7. Repeat steps 4 through
6 to load in the MIDI files, 3_DEMO.MID 6_DEMO.MID until you
finish loading in the last MIDI file MS1ORG1G.MID. The MS-1
display will read "Completed" and return to the Bank A screen.
The original demo should now play from the Sequencer mode.
Also, you can see your ms1's os version by pressing pad1 +
pad8 when turning it on
And you can initialise it by pressing pad1 + pad8 while
turning on & then on pad8 & then on rec/yes. (will
erase all datas!!)
I'm still looking for a (.pdf if pssbl :p) m a n u a l for
it or every info available. Plzzzzzz...
