The Computer Music version of the Roland SC-55 (no LCD display and programming from the PC)
Connectors: 1 between and 1 stereo output (and a headphone jack as well), MIDI in / out / thru
Polyphony of 16 voices, Publishing of sound through the PC but I doubt that is possible. Besides the 128 GM sounds, found sounds from the CM-64 and CM-32L. Should there be any other but I have not had time (and not the usefulness of the find. Effects of reverb and chorus. Very simple machine, therefore, even in another time might say.
UTILIZATION
Gnrale configuration is not the easiest as given that there is no catch contrle just 2 LEDs that indicate power and audio activity ... No installation CD (I bought used) and therefore have to put your hands dirty (and in the manual in English, but clear enough) for paramettrer sounds. But hey, I only use the 128 sounds Acute and I just fine (I getting ready for the CAPES and musical education was evidence of arrangement is used in particular o GM sound ). You just set it in your favorite software squenceur as an instrument Gnrale Midi and all will be better. APRS if you want to tease other sounds he has in his belly, that's another story ... on the other hand, as for the "PC" SC-55, and if you use Cubase, there is the original config in the SC-88 instrument MIDI handler, and SC-55 is included in SC-88. You follow me? What gives ACCS all sounds the CM-300.
SOUNDS
Well, I was expecting something not Folichon ... Plutt surprised I t! and even pleasantly. Its sounds very nice, not very crdibles sometimes, but good for a machine that I pay 40, I will not do difficult. The brass are not extraordinary, far from, and the sax are ugly (which is to be said), the violins are quite usable aisment; piano and as a general rule the keyboard instruments and perceived chromatic dbrouillent see quite well ... frankly not up, rather pleased.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it 6 months, bought used around forty euros.
What I like and I do not like:
+ Connectivity simplifies the extreme
+ You plug, it works
+ Cheap
+ "Design" pure (o color "pure" adpend)
- Programming difficult
- Little info visible facade
- Quality sounds really "just"
In short, looking for sound quality and with some intressant, go your way.
But if you just want a little boiboite sounds, history to add a layer in the bottom of your comp (well back then ^ ^), make the arrangement on GM beginner or just for fun not expensive, then it may be a nice choice. Should we still find one ...
