Installing Vsc 3.0 - Roland U-8CW Getting Started Manual

SC-55(mkII), SC-88, and SC-88Pro (not compatible with the SC-8850),
allowing you to play music files exclusive to these devices. (In certain
situations, VSC 3.0 may play back the music files differently due to the
difference in the specifications.)
• VSC 3.0 is a multitimbral sound module featuring 16 parts, for a
maximum of 128voices. In addition, VSC 3.0 comes with 902 sounds and
26 drum sets (using SC-88Pro Map-compatible sound sets) built in,
making spectacular ensemble performances possible (you can also
switch to SC-55 Map-compatible and SC-88 Map-compatible sound
sets).
• VSC 3.0 features audio file conversion, which makes converting
Standard MIDI Files to audio files a snap.
• Not only can you play music files in the Player window, you can also
change the tempo and key. You can also compile the songs you like in
sets and save them as Song Lists.
• In the Controller window, you can easily switch sounds (instruments),
adjust volume levels, and change parts in other ways, as well as mute
parts.
• Internal reverb, chorus, and delay effects lend greater musical
expression to your performances.
• The integrated TVF (Time Variant Filter) provides more natural
expression when you play.
• You can display the levels and monitor the processor load for each part,
a useful reference when checking on the status of the performance and
making custom settings.
• You can freely make settings affecting processor load, sound quality,
effects, and more, so you can customize the settings to match the
performance capabilities of your computing environment.
• You can also set expression response (however, you may be unable to
change the response in certain environments).
• You can use VSC 3.0 as a sound module for a variety of software
outputting MIDI messages.
• With a computer equipped with the Intel Pentium III processor, you can
enjoy even greater performance.
• VSC 3.0 is compatible with DirectSound, thus allowing synchronization
of game sound effects and other sounds with on-screen action (available
only with applications compatible with DirectSound).
• The Help icon in the Windows Taskbar lets you make settings for VSC
3.0 easily, right from the desktop.
