hi everyone! as some of you may know, i've had an old and relatively obscure MIDI module called the "Roland SC-7" for almost a year now, and i absolutely love it. so i was kinda sad that most of the sound demos of it on YouTube were so uninspiring…

so here's 40 minutes of songs that i think make it shine, so more people can understand why i'm obsessed with it. hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9Pw1zv28YY

ahh, i really like listening to this. but of course i would, it's a playlist of my favourite music

my great creative endeavour is to master composing jazz and trance and everything in between, and to discover every last trick to get the most out of this thing, and finally write the song the SC-7 truly deserves. that will take a long time. in the meantime, i can curate :)

will y'all disown me if i become a synth youtuber

asdffhgdkdl of course it's after i've already uploaded, recorded and promoted that video that i remember someone sent me the midi file for roland's cover of “tori no hito” from “kaze no tani no nausicaä”. you know, the ghibli movie from before ghibli. one of my favourite films…

‪amazing that you can actually download and then reupload animated GIFs on iOS these days. filesystems, what a concept!‬

MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO infinitemac.org THEY JUST SAVED ME A HUGE AMOUNT OF HASSLE (for something highly Roland SC-7-relevant, as you'll probably see soonish)

ok so uh, i realised that the person who made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ipafuok_3Y had uploaded a copy of the floppy disk with the SC-7 Macintosh software and demo MIDIs, and setting up a classic mac emulator is tricky, but infinitemac.org is easy! alas, the demos are just reused SC-55 stuff.

the software is pretty cool though. here's some pretty screenshots
