- CANVAS.DK Help File
- Loading in the file CANVAS.DK will setup Band-in-a-Box for the Roland SC55
- (SOUND CANVAS) multi-timbral synthesizer module.
- It will setup:
- 1. Drum #'s for the General Midi Standard(Standard Roland Drum Note Numbers).
- 2. General Midi (GS) Patch Map
- 3. Startup Patches and Channels in the Midi Settings Window.
- The Roland Sound Canvas is an amazing little box! It is the first synth
- to incorporate the General Midi Standard.This is an exciting new addition to
- the world of Midi. What it has introduced is standardized Patch numbers that
- will,in time, be incorporated in to various manufacturers synthesizers.
- Roland has led the pack with the very affordable and sonically stunning
- Sound Canvas. It offers 16 channel Multi-timbral capability and 24 note
- polyphony with a vast array of sounds that can be used in a wide variety of
- musical situations.
- Band-in-a-Box offers easy access to all the sounds and parameters(such as
- effects,panning and volume) via the General Midi Patch Map and real-time
- editing features for the aforementioned parameters.
- All of the new styles have been made with the Sound Canvas as reference,
- therefore this the best possible way to experience Band-in-a-Box. No setup
- is required once the file CANVAS.DK has been loaded via "Load Alternate Drum/
- Midi Set" under the Midi pulldown menu.
- We have made alternate Patch Maps to incorporate various older synth/
- modules such as the Korg M1 and the Emu Proteus 1. You can make your own map
- if you have a synth we haven't included by simply typing the patch numbers
- of your synth beside the corresponding General Midi Instruments and then
- saving it as a MYSETUP.DK file.
- Have Fun!
