#Roland sound canvas organ hauptwerk samples software#
There isn’t any explicit WRITE or STORE operation the software automatically captures any changes and updates the internal parameter memory. All you need to do to register a tone is to hit the catgeory button after selecting the tone. A button selects a tone category and a favorite tone within the category which the user has “registered.” That may sound complicated, but it is very natural. The best part of the overall UI design is the sixteen buttons/pads that select tones. Ever skip over the menu item you wanted and had to do a “go round?” Roland also thoughtfully provided a BWD button to move backwards within a menu. Menus are triggered by dedicated buttons and the menus are not super deep or long. Once you’re in single play mode, navigation is a breeze. Multi mode is for sequencing and since I’m pitching the module for live performance, I’ll concentrate on single play mode. Software-wise, the user interface has two major modes: single play mode and multi mode. I would also love to see a decent ROMpler in this format, too, as an expansion module for digital pianos and B-3 clones. Good Golly, how I wish that manufacturers would adopt this form factor again! I’d love to see a Reface in this physical package. (Please click on images to get higher resolution.) This means that you can set the DS-330 or SC-33 on an open spot on a keyboard (controller) and easily hit the buttons while performing. They sit flat with the display, buttons and volume control on the top, unlike the half-rack form factor and mounting style of virtually all other tone modules. And therein are the jewels.īoth units are about 8.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep. The DS-330 and SC-33 share a common physical package and user interface design. No problems with Cubase, a Roland SK88Pro or the Nord, however. From the circumstances, I think this is due to incorrect handling of MIDI running status. When I drive the modules from a Triton Taktile 49, I get the occasional “MIDI Off Line” error. With old gear, there are always a few compatibility issues. However, both machines are good General MIDI playback devices and quite a few of the preset voices are decent enough to play live, especially when they are layered and tweaked. The sample format is 16-bit 32KHz and the wave ROM size is 2MBytes.
Neither the DS-330 or SC-33 will win any awards for sound quality based on modern standards. I won’t have any qualms about dropping it into my gig bag. The SC-33 is little bit beat, but I intend to use it with my Nord Electro 2. I fell so hard for the DS-330, again, that I bought a second hand SC-33. The SC-33 has the same sound set as the SC-55mkII (226 tones) while the DS-330 has a subset (156 tones depending on who is counting.) It is the smaller brother to the Roland SC-33 Sound Canvas which is GS-compatible. The DS-330 dates back to 1994 (!) and is an almost (maybe) GS-compatible Sound Canvas. Every now and again, we poke around in the closet and rediscover a lost gem.
