Inputs:
- S video or composite
Outputs:
- S video or composite
Features:
- Enhance
- Color
- Tint
- Color wheel
- Chiclet keyboard
Notes:
- Very useful in a feedback loop to control direction, speed, and blobs
- Is a white label device with multiple manufacturers and model numbers that look the same
Release date: 2007?
Effect type: Clip Player
Inputs:
- Aaaa
Outputs:
- aaa
Features:
- aaa
Notes:
- Clips must be in Motion jpeg 640x480 ntsc or pal aka MJPEG
- Easier to record video with the device itself than using the converter software
- Self-feedback
- Not capable of self feedback. The External Source function cannot be active while playing a video clip stored on the sampler.
- You can use the Composite output and S-Video output simultaneously. You can use this to glitch 2 different layers and mix them together with a video mixer, or bring a clean element back into a glitched effect, etc.

Guild Member Feedback:
- vdotdot: “I had one for a year and found there to be latency and repeated frames when launching clips. I think the responsiveness might have varied depending on clip length, with still images being nearly instant and longer clips seeming to freeze playback for a few frames, which affected the vibe. It wasn’t the video analog to the SP-404 I was hoping for. Clips can be captured live or by loading them to an SD card after converting them using Roland’s videos converter software. The converted files would work about a third of the time for me on Mac OS and I don’t think the long-abandoned software has worked on newer versions of Mac OS in a while (32-bit maybe). So make sure you can run it or look for someone’s instructions on how to convert files with ffmpeg. I found the quality of the live capture to be poor and sometimes skipped frames. The effects were lacklustre, including the speed control. I liked the overall interface; the controls were easy to grasp, sampling and clipping was straightforward, and having all these clips mapped to big buttons was satisfying. I paid very little locally for mine and thought of keeping it as a basic clip launcher because it was nicer than setting up a laptop, but at the end of the day I was getting better performance from my 2006 MacBook’s native analog output running vlc and didn’t have to deal with the flaky converter software. So I sold it five years ago for great profit to fund the preorder of a video synth.”
- waitingRFQ: “Personally, I have only ever live-captured clips (from the composite input). I've never used the Roland converter software to load videos onto it. So that might explain my more positive experience. I don't remember experiencing any latency or frame repeats/skips, but it's possible that I did - it just wasn't bad enough for me to remember. And most of the clips I live-capture are pretty short (because I like them to loop relatively quickly) - maybe 5 to 15 seconds on average. Also, I'm pretty used to working with composite/old video devices that detract a bit from the video quality. Compared to many devices, the P-10 captures pretty clean for me. However, I bet if you export the live-captured clips to literally anything else besides the P-10, it will likely look like trash/low-res/compressed as hell/etc. Finally, it's just so sick to use something so close to a video-SP-404. It truly feels like one to me (more like an OG 404 vs the mk2, lmfao). I avoid computers at all costs, and I want to do more live shows. So I really just wanna quickly capture clips and assemble them into a few banks for me to play around with. The P-10 is a fucking amazing device. its main flaws are that 1) it's so unbelievably pricey and rare these days, and 2) managing sample data is more frustrating than it needs to be, but still quite good for its time.
- Hologram Jesus: “I have used the P10 for about 2 years now. It is my main source of clip playback during live shows and creation in the studio. It is fairly simple and straightforward to use. It has a crazy amount of banks and pads [72 Banks of 12 pads], and can sample nearly anything with composite or SVideo out. Its limitations come from its age- no hdmi, small clip time, lower quality of video, and a clunky converter software to name a few. If you either want to avoid using a computer for live shows, or find a great deal on one I recommend it. Personally the limitations of the device outweigh the all analog aesthetic and I plan to get a laptop. That being said, I don’t see myself parting with the P10 anytime soon, as the resample workflow is very simple and it always helps having another source generator laying around.
