jump to expanded posti regret to inform you i have bought another old midi module but but but i'ts the prettiest one and at an extremely good price so you see. i had to
i saw one of these in a shop in berlin a few months ago and instantly knew i wanted one. it has the classic design and form-factor of the sc-55, but the power of the sc-88, and it just looks so pretty in white. but they wanted too much for it. today i finally got lucky
it's messed up how things take time to ship
even this photo doesn't really do it justice, in cooler lighting the saturation of the orange is much more obvious and also the buttons to the immediate right of the screen light up in a wonderful coral colour. also, the way the display visualises notes is a thing of beauty
ngl i did have to check i wasn't dreaming when one of these popped up on Kleinanzeigen for €99
finally i can listen to this banger [SC-88 demo song TOXOPLASMA, clearly the theme of cat enthusiasts] on my own hardware!!! 🧡 https://twitter.com/OnlyMIDIs/status/1597643441089155074
“hey hikari where can i learn more about this sound module you bought”
thank you for asking, imaginary interlocutor! at https://dtm.noyu.me/wiki/Roland_SC-88
“hey i've never heard of that wiki”
you wouldn't have! i only started it quite recently
@hikari I have an 55MkII variant here (SC-55K) because 88's cost too much and most 88 music ALMOST sounds right on a 55MkII.
Also an MT-32, which i could not afford if i were to try to get one today
@wyatt8740 thankfully i hear MUNT is pretty good? also there's Roland's SCVA plugin which stops being sold tomorrow
@wyatt8740 but having real hardware is great, i totally get it, i own too much haha
yeah, there's a real “DOS gamer tax” :/
