- This pack features enhanced music quality using MIDI recordings from a Roland CM-500 MIDI Synthesizer in CM-300 (SC-55) to provide much more authentic quality music without the expansive hardware. Roland SC-55 Soundfont drive.google.com by EmperorGrieferus For source ports that support custom.SF2 soundfonts only!
- Roland SC-55 v1.1.sf2 (size: 9.42MB) but IIRC they didn't quite sound the same as my real SCC-1, so they felt more like fan made imitations of Sound Canvas. Or then there have been quite different sounding SC-55 sound fonts than what my SCC-1 sounds.
It's far from complete as a SC-88/GS soundfont (only contains 116 presets). Sas jmp 10 keygen. It is not even GM compatible since there are many missing capital instruments in bank 0 also. Overall 22 instruments are missing from the main bank so any midi files that use program 96-103, 112-114, 116-117, 119-127 simply play wrong.
Roland/Edirol Sound Canvas lineup is a series of General MIDI (GM) based pulse-code modulation (PCM) sound modules and sound cards, primarily intended for computer music usage, created by Japanese manufacturer Roland Corporation. Some models include a serial or USB connection, to a personal computer.

Roland SC-55 | 1991 | 16 | 24 | 317 | 9 | 16-bit @ 32 kHz | Half Rack unit, first product of the line, units without GM logo technically not GM compatible (GM reset interpreted as GS reset, capital tone arrangement not fully consistent with GM spec). | [1] |
Roland SC-155 | 1992 | 16 | 24 | 317 | 9 | 16-bit @ 32 kHz | Table top version of SC-55 | [2] |
Roland SC-7 | 1992 | GM | 16 | 28 | 128 | 6 | 16-bit @ 32 kHz | No display, introduced serial port for PC/Mac connectivity. | [2][3] |
Roland SC-55mkII | 1993 | 16 | 28 | 354 | 9 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | Half Rack unit. A minor upgrade to the original SC-55. |
Roland SC-55ST | 1993 | 16 | 28 | 354 | 9 | 16-bit @ 32 kHz | Half rack unit. Lower cost version of SC-55mkII. No display and only one MIDI input. | [2][4][5] |
Roland P-55 | 1993 | 3 | 28 | 32 | 0 | Piano module, with a limited set of instruments. |
Roland SC-50 | 1994 | 16 | 28 | 226 | 9 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | SC-55mkII without the Roland MT-32 patches, only one MIDI input. | [2][6] |
Roland SD-35 | 1993 | 16 | 28 | 223 | 8 | 16-bit @ 32 kHz | SC-50 with integrated MIDI sequencer. | [7] |
Roland SC-33 | 1992 | 16 | 28 | 226 | 8 | 16-bit @ 32 kHz | Table top version of SC-50, rebranded as BOSS Dr. Synth DS-330 (fewer tones). | [2] |
Roland SC-88 | 1994 | 32 | 64 | 654 | 22 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | Half rack unit, additional height for more controls, introduced multiple triggering and EQ, SC-55 map support (with differences). | [2][8] |
Roland M-GS64 | 1995 | 32 | 64 | 654 | 22 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | A 1U rackmount version of the SC-88. | [2][9] |
Roland SC-88VL | 1996 | 32 | 64 | 654 | 22 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | Smaller sized version of SC-88, with a same size and panel layout as the SC-55. | [10] |
Roland SC-88ST | 1996 | 32 | 64 | 654 | 22 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | A black plastic box, with LEDs for MIDI activity. 2 MIDI ins, 1 out. There is one single button on the front panel for switching between SC-55 and SC-88 modes. | [2] |
Roland SC-88 Pro | 1996 | 32 | 64 | 1117 | 42 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | SC-55 and SC-88 map support, introduced Insertion EFX and unofficial XG compatibility. | [2][11][12] |
Roland SC-88ST Pro | 1997 | 32 | 64 | 1117 | 42 | 18-bit @ 32 kHz | A black plastic box, with LEDs for MIDI activity. 2 MIDI ins, 1 out. There is one single button on the front panel for SC-55/SC-88/SC-88 Pro modes. |

Roland ED SC-8850 | 1999 | 64 | 128 | 1640 | 63 | 24-bit @ 32 kHz | Desktop module that can connect via USB. Contains a new native map as well as SC-55, SC-88, and SC-88 Pro maps for backwards compatibility. However, compatibility with these units is flawed due to modifications made to the synthesis engine as well as improper mapping of older instruments. | [14][15] |
Roland ED SC-8820 | 1999 | 32 | 64 | 1608 | 63 | 24-bit @ 32 kHz | Mobile MIDI device with no LCD display, successor of the SC-88ST Pro. USB-powered, but does not act as a full USB audio device. A software editor such as GS Advanced Editor is required to edit sounds. Despite similarities, patches and effects occasionally play differently from the 8850 - some samples on the 8850 are stereo while the 8820 versions are mono and vice versa. | [14] |
Roland ED SC-D70 | 2001 | 32 | 64 | 1608 | 63 | 24-bit @ 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz | Digital audio-oriented desktop module version of the SC-8820. Contains A/D inputs as well as USB audio functionality when connected to a host system. This is also the only Sound Canvas module to have digital audio ports built in. The output can be selected either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. |

Edirol[edit]
Roland sold GM/GS products under its Edirol brand. The samples contained in the ROMs of these units do not in all cases mirror the original SC-7 / SC-55 GM/GS samples. GM2 is downward compatible with GM. The SD line was also sold under the 'Roland' brand.
