Well, noticing that KQ6 didn't have this issue, I found the difference, the SQ5GM lacks a Bank Select MSB (cc#0) message. Inserted into SQ5 that's attached. I only put one at the start of the soundtrack, I'll edit further if this only fixes the Sierra Fanfare at the start. If you can rerecord, it …

It is the only MIDI device I have. I don't know how to differentiate between files made for GM or SC-88 Pro. I'm playing .mid files on my PC. MIDI editor, although presumably when you download a special file for 88Pro it will tell you. This link has specific SC-88 Pro demos: https://archive.org/ …

Hi all, I bought a Roland SC-88 Pro last year and I just love this device. One issue I always have with it though is that when I start playing a MIDI file, there is always a delay right when the audio starts, and then it immediately catches up and sounds fine. This makes it quite irritating …

Good luck for sure on all counts. I do have a SC-D70 that I'm unlikely to use again, one of the switching ones, and I can send it to you, if yours is dead. That's really, really sweet of you - but I wouldn't be able to accept a $300AU gift from someone even IF I thought it was fair for you to "make …

thanks a lot guys! the problem is with the SoundCanvas VA when i choose SC-55 i dont see any kicks for example https://i.imgur.com/h1VfZTx.jpeg im wondering if it is maybe not correctly structured? Drums (as in, drum sets) are separate and exclusive to channel 10, so you'll need to be on that …

For DOS MIDI games, most will sound best with the SC-55 mode. Some rare cases will benefit from the SC-88 due to composition or polyphony. The 88Pro/8820 is only used in fan MIDI enhancements of VGM tracks, to my knowledge none were used in arranging MIDI scores for games (sometimes in digital …

Actually looking at those manual specs again, it's possible that the Japanese 100V units (or a subset) are a special use case - designed without switching power supplies. So the 117-120V units might be 'international' or export releases that are switching and functional 120-240V (presumably because …

Sorry to Study, if we were wrong I obviously offer sincerest apologies and it's not a good thing to offer unhelpful advice. That said - I personally have used a SC-D70 in the US and Australia, the same unit, no stepdowns. From the manual, this was interesting: Power Supply AC 120 V, AC 230 V or AC …

I'm almost positive the SC-D70 is universal. Used it in Aus and US both with no conversion, just a different cable due to the plugs being different.

Out of all of those, I'll recommend specifically QFG3, QFG4, SQ5, LSL6 which are actually GM-composed games and edited fairly well. Thanks florian. Haven't listened yet but I will check it out!

Now, I'm curious to know how these exotic synths sound with Sierra titles. Maybe someone will do some recording in the future. If the patch maps existed and could be found, it would be possible ;) I'd like to hear them too. Although it's worth pointing out that all of these involve the original MT- …
