UNZIP this archive and you will have a choice of LOGIC song documents (v9 > vX) you can now open in the Logic program (please send special request for versions pre-v9 or PC if you require them). Upon purchase, you will ultimately receive a ZIP archive of the editor you purchased for Logic. It will just not select ALL the patches unique to the SC-8850 in the Multi-Instrument bank set-ups.)
You CAN use all the other Sound Canvas maps in full, along with full GM access to the basic SC-8850 sound set, as well as all the patch editing and FX editing tools (including INSERT FX). (**It will also work for the most part with the more recent SC-8850 but does not fully support ALL the newer sound variations in that unit although there is normal GM access to most of them. Check this WIKI page if you want too see if your unit may be supported: This includes Roland’s PC computer products, Virtual Sound Canvas and many others - about 40 different units in all. It will also support the earlier SOUND CANVAS models such as the SC-55 Mk II, SC-55, and a host of others using the GM standard and extras to the degree supported by your particular model’s architecture. Completely optimized for Roland SC-88 PRO, it handles all possible editing duties in that unit with the single exception of micro-tuning, and the same for the SC-88. This programmer is compatible with many different Roland SOUND CANVAS models to varying degrees. It is created and presented through use of the LOGIC “environment” architecture. It will not run in Reason, Ableton, AU, VST or any other plug-in format. This software CANNOT be used as a stand alone application under any circumstances.
To use this software you MUST have a valid copy of LOGIC on your computer (see below) as well as a MIDI interface which connects your computer via MIDI cable to your hardware synthesizer (or you can use the built-in serial interface on some of these units). It simulates a hardware programmer in a software environment within the APPLE LOGIC audio / sequencer program (formerly Emagic LOGIC).
