Selecting The Same Sounds As The Sc-88Pro/Sc-88/Sc-55; Using Midi Messages To Select Drum Sets From Other Devices Or Sequencing Software - Roland SC-8820 Owner's Manual

Using MIDI Messages to Select Drum Sets
from Other Devices or Sequencing Software
You can select Drum Sets by transmitting MIDI messages from a sequencing pro-
gram, in the same way as you can select Instruments. When a Program Change mes-
sage is received, the Drum Set will change. Transmit a Program Change message on
the channel being received by the Drum Part. At the factory settings, Part 10 is the
Drum Part (MIDI receive channel:10). On the SC-8820, Drum Set numbers (dis-
played under INST.) correspond to Program numbers (p.127).
Set the note numbers of the rhythm data being played back to match the note num-
bers of the SC-8820 Drum Set you are using (p.128).

Selecting the Same Sounds As the SC-88Pro/SC-88/SC-55

The SC-8820 has four maps: an SC-8820 map, which contains original sounds; an SC-
88Pro map, which contains the same sounds as the SC-88Pro; an SC-88 map, which
contains the same sounds as the SC-88; and an SC-55 map, which contains almost the
same sounds as the SC-55/SC-55mkII. If you wish to use the same sounds as the SC-
88Pro, SC-88, or SC-55, change the map.
* Part blocks A and B will both be switched.
Each time you subsequently press [INST MAP], the SC-8820, SC-88Pro, SC-88, and
SC-55 instrument maps will be selected in succession, and the corresponding Inst
Map indicator will light.
After making this change, wait for a short time, and the input map indicator will re-
turn to the part group B level indicator display.
