Gilrad Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 My computer is having tremendous difficulty reading these roland cds using cdxtract. I have to open and close my cd tray several times in order for the cd to even load, and then about 50% of the time it fails to load a sample. Does anybody have a solution? I tried making an iso but no programs that I use recognize that there's a disc in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I haven't had any problems with that. Sounds like your drive is screwed up or the disc is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilrad Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I managed to get one of the discs extracted by using my roomate's computer; simply make an iso and move it over to my computer. The problem is with the second, larger, and more important library. Trying to open the iso, or even the disc without any read errors using CDxtract results in two categories in the Volumes section; one with a line of funky y's with two dots over, and the other called _Orphan_perf, with one item in the performance category, again a line of funky y's with the two dots over them. Nowhere in in sight are the actual samples. Don't know if it will help, but at the back of the disc case in the corner, it says "ROLAND QLBROL" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylance Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I know windows wont even recognize those cds. Kontakt, however, or any other sampler that supports the format im willing to bet, will see it and be able to import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilrad Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yea, well unless Kontact is within the $40 price range, it's a bit out of my reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try converting to soundfont and then searching for all .sf2 around there? You could also look for other conversion utilities like Extreme Sample Converter.

Gilrad Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I tried converting the entire folder, and it only results in an empty folder in the destination. I also tried using Extreme Sample Converter, and it didn't even recognize the cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
