I bought a Roland SC88 two years ago. Last week I finally got hold of a gameport-midi-cable for it. Now I just have to set up an old computer before I can enjoy these awesome tracks the way they were supposed to. 😁
Damn, this brings me back. My brother and I bought a MIDI synthesizer back in the day (don't remember the model) and I blasted it every time I played Warcraft II.
ballandpaddle Roland Synthesizers were the de facto instruments used by game composers during the 90s. Although the game didn't specifically support Roland devices, they provide the closest sound to what the composer imagined.
intresting i have the exact same setup SC-88 + um-one interface... guess i was not the only one that wanted to keep it purely Roland based (though i did go with m-audio for my midi keyboard) Kinda wanna get those classic Roland speakers to at some point.. .they are nice :p
@@jorgeblasio best one you can get... i.ve had two and i've had driver issues both times... people who do midi hardware are not always reliable when it comes to drivers unless they are a major brand.. and roland is the biggest :)
@@jorgeblasio cool did not know there where wireless midi interfaces... then again kinda obvious when you think about it... (i personally have everything by my computer so no point in wireless in my case :p) And so long as it's a major brand likely to actually support the product for some time to come in the future it should be good.
Technomancer00 Roland modules have RCA out. You can use an RCA to mini jack cable and feed that into line input or you can use a regular RCA cable to feed into a USB audio interface/mixer
Excellent, thank you! Now buy the SC-55 and do the same for a complete Roland Sound Canvas trio. You might want to add a timestamp to each song as in the SC-88 video. Are you aware of the Sound Canvas VA?

this sounds like peak general midi
Holy crap this soundtrack sounds amazing on this thing, almost as if it were composed especially for it. Thanks for the upload.

It was.
Great stuff, I love the Orc 2 theme :)
I think you were right to get an actual SC-88 Pro instead of an SC-8850 because even the
SC-88 Pro map on the SC-8850 is not 100%.

ZerqTM TBF, The Roland was the only MIDI-USB adapter the music store carried.

ZerqTM I want the wireless Yamaha one

Where are Human 5 and Orc 5?
How do you record audio from an SC-88pro?
Technomancer00 Roland modules have RCA out. You can use an RCA to mini jack cable and feed that into line input or you can use a regular RCA cable to feed into a USB audio interface/mixer

Are you aware of the Sound Canvas VA?
Yes I forgot to fix that. You want an SC-55 version too? That can be done.
Yeah but a real SC-55, not a Map on the SC-88/Pro.
There are various differences in sound, and they are not even that subtle.
+James Freeman yup, real one
The SC-55 version would have been nice. It might be the best one too?
Yep I am currently using Sound Canvas VA as my midi synth...
Great but not fully accurate
