The SC-55 was the first sound module to incorporate the new standard. It was the first in the series.The SC-55 used both and a cut-down version of the engine, to support 24-voice polyphony with 16-part multitimbrality. It came preloaded with the 's variation bank, but lacked the MT-32's re-programmability.
Nice initiative! Very useful to make AWE-cards MT-32 compatible. Of course it won't sound like an MT-32 at all, but neither did the Ultrasound's Mega-Em 😀 For newer computers, this soundfont is of course unnecessary, since we have Munt! I don't need this soundfont, since i have a first-gen MT-32 connected to my pc, and MUNT installed on my laptop, but i'm still curious how it sounds. Roland Sc-55 Soundfont Sf2; Patch93's Roland Sc-55 Soundfont V1.9. Please direct any questions or bugs regarding software to the company that developed.
Aimed at PC music enthusiasts, the SC-55 featured 317 instrument patches, including the GS drum kits and additional controllers. The selection of effects includes and.Alongside the SC-55, Roland released the (Sound Brush), an inexpensive MIDI module the same size as the Sound Canvas. Both the Sound Canvas and Sound Brush could be rackmounted alongside each other.Other models with comparable tone generators include Roland CM-300, Roland CM-500 and Roland SC-155 sound modules. CM-300 and CM-500 models lack the LCD screen and extended controls of SC-55. Both models have external appearance nearly identical to Roland's earlier CM-32/64-series modules. SC-155 adds additional slider controls for master and channel level and panning.
Additionally, CM-500 includes fully SysEx compatible LA tone generator similar to CM-32L's. Roland SCC-1Roland also released the Roland SCC-1, an 8-bit half-size card incarnation of the SC-55 sound module. The sound source is controlled by an on-board MIDI Processing Unit, a variant of the unit. An updated version featuring the SC-55mkII sound set was also released, known as SCC-1A. When bundled with the and BalladeGS software, it's called SCC-1B.Roland later replaced the SCC-1 with a combination of their MPU-401AT MIDI interface card and SCB-55 -compatible daughterboard. Roland referred to this combination as the SCM-15AT.
The SCC-1 was also sold as the GPPC-N for the NEC PC98.CM-32P and MT-32 Emulation Since the SC-55 has no programmable memory, CM-32P and MT-32 emulation is done by providing the same sound arrangement as the preset sounds of actual devices. These variation banks are enabled by playing back special containing MIDI files, for example GS32.MID (included in the SCC-1 Utility Software), prior to loading a software title. These specially arranged tone tables contain the relevant GS sound mapped at either CM-32P or MT-32 program number. Pitch bend range is changed to 12 from GS default 2 semitones. Master tuning and modulation depth are not altered by the emulation. Pan directions are reversed from actual CM-32P or MT-32 devices. CM-32P or MT-32 specific messages are also ignored by the SC-55.MT-32 Emulation Samples The Roland SC-55's CM-32P and MT-32 emulation is based on using preset sounds of the actual devices without utilizing programmable memory or actual device synthesis techniques.
This results in poor emulation for software titles relying on custom programmable MT-32 sounds as demonstrated by the introduction of the game: The Pirates of Pestulon.Software titles supporting the Roland MT-32 but not utilizing its memory are emulated with better results as demonstrated by the introduction song from ': The False Prophet.Notable Users.

Edirol[edit]
Roland sold GM/GS products under its Edirol brand. The samples contained in the ROMs of these units do not in all cases mirror the original SC-7 / SC-55 GM/GS samples. GM2 is downward compatible with GM. The SD line was also sold under the 'Roland' brand.
