So just yesterday, my friend received a Roland SC-55 MKii in the mail.

First thing we did when we got it was reset it to factory default so all recordings we did would sound as they should, and then we recorded 2 songs.

All was going fine, but when the songs were sent my way, I noticed some missing instruments from both songs we recorded.

To make sure it wasn't a song issue, I played back the same midi files on the latest version of Sound Canvas VA in SC-55 mode.

Those recordings did not have any notes cut out at all, so we wonder if it could either be a hardware issue, software issue with our player, or perhaps just a limitation with the SC-55MKii.

We both used Vanbasco's Karaoke Player for our recordings from the SC-55 MKii and Sound Canvas VA. This software has never failed us in the past, so I would be surprised if it's issue with the software.

The midi cables he is using is the Roland UM-ONE and his OS is Windows 10.

I will be providing a link for you all to check out. In it, you will find FLAC recordings of the 2 songs from both of the synths, as well as the midi files used for each song.

For tt_theme.mid, i don't really have a proper OST release so you guys know how it should sound, so you will have to take my word when I say Sound Canvas VA plays all the notes as it should.

For Who Turned Out The Light's, this one is interesting, as it was ripped from a Genesis game called Earthworm Jim, and the midi and CD Audio version on the Soundtrack Release of Earthworm Jim are pretty much 1:1. Because of this, I have included a rip of the CD Audio version of the song, if you need a point of reference, refer to that.

With all of that technical jargon out of the way, here is the download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H7fiQC86ncP … yrtraJS-kCKQWMt

Sidenote, does anyone know why SC-VA sounds "softer" when compared to the real deal?
