Being a one of those Doom fans that considers the SC-55 the 'canonical' way to listen to Doom's soundtrack, it makes me very happy to hear her be given new songs to sing. To echo another comment here: long live the Sound Canvas!

This really changed by mind on the SC-55. I realized that it's just the associations with Microsoft GS that made me dislike it in the past. It's always a pleasure hearing these artists' music. (The album art is cool as well).

I'll second this, on both counts! [eye-opening and 8.3] My SC-55 has been primarily a DOS music powerhouse, but I think I'll be hooking my MPK up to it, this evening!

This is such a cool compilation full of brilliant, catchy compositions. The SC-55 has a nice texture: powerful, but soft and easy on the ears. It's clear even at the lowest volume, and sounds good even over phone speakers. But bumping it up over quality speakers or headphones feels like reliving my childhood in HD. Roland samples are nostalgic.

@tescoshortage5 ай бұрын
I hear more SC-88 sounds in both Persona 1 and Persona 2 than SC-55, but it's really neat. Not only did they use samples from both the SC-55 and SC-88 (presumably), but Persona didn't use streamed .XA files or Redbook audio--it made use of .PSF files, which are essentially MIDI files. In theory, you could play a song from the first two Persona games on the SC-88.

@WR3ND2 жыл бұрын
A lot of people use keyboards, but basically it's sequencing and layering of different note samples of instrument types and effects. The composition of making the music is in the selection and arrangement of what goes where, when, and for how long. In this case the instruments are the SC-55 and the musicians are the MIDI composers. A MIDI file is sort of like sheet music for the MIDI player.
@garystumpbeats8831 Жыл бұрын
Controller- FL Studios then select which MIDI Channels you are sending data too, funnel them to the SC-55/88 with a USB - MIDI Interface, then route the Audio Outs of the Sound Canvas to Audio Inputs on an Audio Interface and record back into FL Studios. Basically you are taking piano roll midi note data from FL, and transmitting it into Audio, which is then recorded back into FL for mixing and mastering.

It's a mix. All the tracks were either sequenced and programmed in Sekaiju (a new old school MIDI sequencer for Windows), or sequenced in FL Studio and programmed for hardware playback in Sekaiju. Some composers used Sound Canvas VA in SC-55 mode, some used a real SC-55. At the end of it, EVERY track you hear is recorded from a real SC-55 no matter how it was composed and will play back on one as well.
