Roland ED Sound Canvas SC-8850
Avg price: $395.00
Very unique sounding module.
My likes:
It has a solid build, The buttons and knobs are ideal, and I like the lighted buttons. It's very easy to access all of the sounds without having to spend a long time trying to find a specific area. It has 2 RCA stereo outputs instead of one. The two tone grey and dark grey/black design. The 3.5mm is convenient honestly compared to a 1/4 inch being the option for phones. The USB option is obviously a nice add on for a '99 instrument. The sounds scream late 20th Century, and I definitely can work with the pads and the EPs from this.
My dislikes:
The screen could be bigger and easier to read (viewing from above is partially difficult). The Roland Edirol thing is kinda weird to me but whatever. The MU2000 looks more vibrant IMO and it has more bright lights to see what's being shown.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
JP8000 5thFb, Prologue, Soundtrack, Bowed Glass, Warm Pad, Goblin, E. Piano 1
