Re: HELP! Basic set up for Roland Sound Canvas Posted by JBSeattle (from: 203.101.241.33) on June 04, 2002 at 06:29:23: In Reply to: Re: HELP! Basic set up for Roland Sound Canvas posted by David Roy on June 04, 2002 at 00:27:10: You sound like you are confusing midi with audio. Midi has no sound, it is merely a data set to tell the sound module what to sound and that is converted to audio. Early sound canvases have limited effects. The SC88Pro and later have 64 insertion effects but you need a computer with proper software to use them effectively--although theoretically you can set them on the face plate of the more expensive ones. Roland is decent gear but even with the manual it is a brainbuster, and Roland is not a big company and the manuals that exist are written by the brain dead. There is a Sound Canvas Users group on the net. And they can help. Which SC do you have, what model? The big advantage of the SC's is that they are backward compatible, so what you make for a 55 will play in a 88, 88Pro. 880, 8850/20 this is the real big advantage for the professional live player. JB : : The midi connection yells the Sound Canvas what notes to play. THe : : sound comes out of the audio output of the Sound Canvas, which will : : need to be amplified and fed to a speaker. : : If your Clavinova has Aux In audio sockets, you can use these and hear : : the SC through the Clavinova's internal speakers. : I've connected output jacks to input on a Fender amp and Optional In on the : Clavinova. I get a different sound and can control the volume with the Sound : Canvas Volume control now, but cannot get effects. : Thanks Follow Ups: Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: : You sound like you are confusing midi with audio.
