types of reverb simultaneously on different parts. I have never needed to do that, but the

flexibility exists.

New dynamics are also possible because when an instrument plays more than one note at a

time, these notes can interact with each other producing various nuances uncharacteristic of the

single notes. This is especially true when using distortion.

Mixing two sampled notes together does not always recreate these dynamics. But the use of

insertion effects does a much better job of recreating these dynamics. Now a guitar using an

insertion distortion effect can growl by playing two adjacent notes. This also restores the

distortion dynamics present when sending any sound at varying velocities.

The sampled sound retains fully similar distortion dynamics at differing velocities whereas the

insertion distortion can alter the amount of distortion as a function of the velocity of the note

driving the effect. This sends the use of MIDI guitar emulation up a considerable notch.

The SC-88 Pro adds its new sounds through the use of yet another map. Internal map 3. I

noticed that the SC-88 Pro manual never gives the map a numerical name, and does not refer to

the SC-88 map as MAP 1. Instead the manual calls the three maps the SC-55 Map, the SC-88

Map and the Native Map.

Shortly after the SC-88 Pro hit the market many users upgraded and again confusion about how

to get the old sounds back became even more of an issue. Now both SC-55 users who have

not added controller #32 events and SC-88 users who did not switch to map 2 are unable to

get the SC-88 Pro to play their sequences correctly.

I was disappointed to find in my SC-88 ST Pro manual on page 22, the advice to always leave

controller #32 at 0. If and when the 4th generation Sound Canvas comes out, then the SC-88

Pro users who neglect to change map 0 sounds to map 3 when they were finished testing

SC-55 and SC-88 mode will get their chance to complain that their sequences are using the

wrong map on the SC-2000 Super Duper Sound Canvas.

Fortunately the SC-55 and SC-88 structure of internal maps 1 and 2 is identical to the mapping

of the SC-88. The new native sound set of the SC-88 Pro is on map 3 where I predict it will

also be on the 4th generation Sound Canvas. However, incompatibility issues will no doubt arise

because the redirection of map 0 is not really explained clearly in the SC-88 Pro manual either.

On the SC-88 Pro and above, maps 1, 2, and 3 will be totally stable, whereas map 0 will

always be unstable.

You can tell if your Sound Canvas is a member of this family by looking in the manual. If your

manual features 1117 unique GS sounds, then your unit regardless of what it is called, is for all

practical purposes internally an SC-88 Pro.

In Conclusion

The Sound Canvas, now in three generations, has a lot going for it and a lot of people going

with it. Its upward compatibility is solidly designed. Things can only get better. Backward
