But the SC-88 user had to first know that he or she is listening to an SC-55 sequence and then

also push the button (if they had one) to enter SC-55 mode. Operator action is required. Not a

fail-safe plan to get SC-88 owners to hear SC-55 files correctly.

Another solution was to give SC-55 owners a set of SYSEX commands that would

automatically alter address 40 4X 01 and place the SC-88 into SC-55 mode. The idea was

ingenious except that it does not actually place the SC-88 into SC-55 mode. No SYSEX can.

It only resembles SC-55 mode but it delivers a couple of permanent kicks in the head that true

SC-55 mode does not deliver.

SC-55 mode works by temporarily overriding values in memory. Press the switch and you have

SC-55 mode. Press it again and SC-55 mode disappears. The SYSEX solution actually

changes the memory values. The SC-88 is incapable of leaving a SYSEX induced SC-55 mode

in a simple manner.

The SYSEX induced SC-55 mode actually cripples the SC-88 forcing map 0 to never point

again to the native map until the SC-88 owner figures out how to do that! What is worse, if the

SC-88 owner does not know that the SC-55 sequence did that to his or her Sound Canvas,

then it may be a quite a while before they understand why they can’t get SC-88 sounds

anymore.

Instead of SC-55 users setting controller #32 equal to 1 in each track of THEIR sequences,

these users try to use SYSEX messages to place ANOTHER’S SC-88’s into crippled SC-55

mode. A GS-Reset will not undo a SYSEX induced SC-55 mode, nor will the SC-55 mode

button, and some SC-88 models can not shake it even by a new power up.

You can tell if your Sound Canvas is a member of the SC-88 family regardless of what its name

is by how many sounds are in it. If your manual tells you that you have 654 GS sounds, then

your unit is for all practical purposes, internally an SC-88.

The SC-88 Pro Family:

As of this writing (April of 1999) the most recent generation of the Sound Canvas is the SC-88

Pro. This 3rd generation module not only adds more sounds for a total of 1117 and 42 drum

sets, but it also adds what Roland calls insertion effects.

The 64 insertion effects are actually a BOSS digital multi-effects sound processor that can insert

itself into as many parts as the user desires. This not only adds to the flexibility of the already

large array of effects available within the sound module, but adds some dynamics not possible

previously.

Flexibility is improved because certain effects built in to the Sound Canvas are globally mutually

exclusive. But now it is possible to use more than one type of delay or reverb. Now it is

possible to combine many effects or to use different settings for different parts. In fact with the

ability to split the module into two independent modules it is possible to use up to three different
