For Sound Blaster(TM) 16-compatible Sound Boards with an upgrade socket
Roland's new Sound Canvas(TM) DB is designed to offer instant musical enjoyment to any PC user regardless of musical knowledge or experience.
Say good-by to the ugly, conventional FM synthesizer sounds. This unique hardware/software package provides you with the same superb Roland sounds used by professional musicians around the world. You can create original music or listen to more than 100 pre-recorded songs and of course it upgrades the sounds used in popular GM-compatible software such as AfterDark(R), 7th Guest(TM) and X-wing.
SELECT AND PASTE ICONS - IT'S LIKE A MUSICAL SCRAPBOOK
If you think creating original music is difficult, think again. DoReMiX(TM) makes composing songs easy and fun. With the pre-recorded sequences you don't need any prior musical background. Simply pick and paste sequence icons to design your own great-sounding original sequences. The 640 data phrases feature a wide variety of instrument sounds and music genres, from rock to classical. Additional data phrases are also available on the optional DPC-series Phrase Collection Disks. To make music creation even easier, use Random Shaker Function to select and paste icons automatically into a composition.
GREAT ROLAND SOUNDS TURN YOUR PC INTO A JUKEBOX
In the past, inferior synthesizer sounds have limited the enjoyment of music on personal computers. The Sound Canvas(TM) DB Series puts an end to that with all the fantastic Roland sounds. Roland Easy Juke software lets you select up to eight Standard MIDI File songs and play them back sequentially or randomly when ever you want. They can be used as background music while working with other PC applications such as word processors and spread-sheets.
There are over 100 Standard MIDI File songs in styles varying from classical to jazz to rock, with a total playing time of about 4 hours. All the songs are produced by professional musicians to assure the highest quality.
