The Roland CD-5 is a CD-ROM player designed to select sounds from large volumes of data, compatible with the Roland S-550 or other equipment. It includes a CD-ROM disc with original sound data equivalent to 165 floppy disks, featuring common, Japanese, and ethnic instruments. The unit also functions as an audio CD player with the ability to insert cue points for sampling.
To use the CD-5, the optionally available HD5S-IF interface must be installed. The manual details various configurations, including single CD-5 setups and those with hard disks, as well as instructions for loading sound data, patches, and tones. It also covers revisions over the S-550 Ver. 1.0, backing up the system disk, and troubleshooting error messages.
