Roland SC-88 Pro - Manual (Page 41)

■ Using Patches
On this unit, the instrument and effect parameters are collectively referred to as a
Patch. This unit provides 128 Preset Patches in which these parameters are already set
to ideal settings. (p.186)
Patch numbers 001 — 128: Preset Patches
The Preset Patches contain high-quality sounds together with optimal settings for
other parameters such as effects, making this unit immediately useful as an expansion
sound module for your keyboard, etc.
Patches contain parameter settings for Part A01 and Part A02 (see following dia-
gram). The initialized values are set for the other Parts.
Patches contain all the Patch parameters (p.194). Of these, the main parameters
which can be set from the front panel are the following.
Parameters common to all Parts (p.34)
System Effects (p.48)
Insertion Effects (p.56)
Part parameters for Parts A01 and A02 (p.25, 26, 31)
In Double Module mode, you can select Patches only for the Part Group A, and the
parameters will be fixed for Part A01 and Part A02. By playing song data on the Part
Group B while you play the Part Group A Patches from a keyboard etc., you can enjoy
solo playing while adding unique effects.
Some sequencer software is unable to transmit data from the computer connector to
play the Part Group B. In this case, set the In Mode to “Xconnect” so that the Part Group
B will be played (p.137).
* If you select a Patch in Double Module mode, the equalizer and delay settings will be ignored.
Also, Patches cannot be selected for the Part Group B.
