It appears the SC-8820 has been discontinued by Roland. I
have an SD-20, but the SC-8820 seems to have a lot more sounds I might
like. I play a lot of Jazz, and would easily pay another $100.00 for
the Jazz scat alone.

Any thoughts ??

Agreed - I am STILL using my SCC-1 after more than a decade, and have
no plans of stopping! In fact, I am probably going to hunt down more
sound canvas units.

How do the sounds (I am particularly interested in orchestral sounds)
of these new Edirol units compare the SCs?

It looks like the SC-8808 only has 2 voices, but it seems to be
discontinued in favor of the SD-20 which is really just a continuation
of the Sound Canvas line ...

The maps in the SD20 are different and not backward compatible with old SC
maps, that was the major advantage of the SC series.
The 8850 and the XV mods have the four voice patches.
I have an 8820, the big improvement was in guitar sounds and horn
sounds--and some drum kits. Plus you get GM2, which can be really helpful
in key editing drum kits for Hip-Hop, etc.

What do you mean by "power", the SC8820 runs on USB power or a Wallwart. It
has a separate midi out which I use to send midi data to a Vocalizer but he
Vocalizer needs its own power source.
JB
I had read in the specs that if you attach a MIDI device you have to
use an AC adapter ?? I bought the SD-20 so I can go "unplugged" wit a
WX-7 and laptop (and Fender Amp Can) ...
Can the 8820 power a MIDI controller via USB whil unplugged ??
Thanks,

Actually, I never use it that way live. I use a seperate keyboard with its
own sound and the 8820 as the backer.
I always use the wallwart anyway but it will play off USB power but Windows
is so screwy and the USB port is limited anyway--so I just wallwart it.

You can do that with your laptop but the USB port draws power and that can
severely limit your laptop battery time.
The 8820 and SD20 were designed by Roland specifically not to use an LCD
faceplate and controls that you find on more expensive models like the 8820
and SD80.
You have much more control over the mod with a computer than with the
cumbersome LCD screens.
JB
Actually I have a MIDIPORT USB controller, but my ancient
laptop only has one USB input, so I need a hub on top of it.
My concept is to minimize the number of boxes, so if I can
attach the module to the laptop and can amp, and the controller to the
module, I could play literally anywhere without AC.
A pretty cool concept with Band-in - Box. I could busk in
parks or subways withpout "stealing" city power.
I think these modules SC8820 and SD-20 BOTH suffer from not
having a simple knob on front to select patches (like the old Sound
Canvas.) They are just about useless without a laptop, when they
could be used as a nice jamming module with just a controller and an
amp.

That is reasonable, the power requirement may exceed the per-port
limit of the USB port. Overload it, and all USB devices which require
power may quit working.
In a pure USB power situation, though, you can use a laptop plus a
USB keyboard, and need no wallwarts for either module or keyboard.
The SC8820 isn't really designed to run from the front panel, so
you'll probably want a PC in the loop somewhere.
For that matter, just using another MIDI in device would solve that
problem, if your controller isn't USB. It means another box, but I'm
sure you can get by off just laptop power, with the right laptop.

Extra batteries are (relatively) cheap ...

But if you want to use the box in performance, it means bringing a
$2,500 laptop along to change patches on a $300.00 box. A simple
patch knob would have made the difference between this being a desk
box and a stage box. I suspect they are protecting their more upscale
performance boxed by deliberately crippling these.

Then again, maybe theres not much demand for "unplugged" MIDI,
which is too bad, because I hear a wireless standard is about to be
ratified....

but the SC-8820 seems to have a lot more sounds
hi,I have recently sold my sc8820,yes, sc has a lot more sounds
but I can tell you most of them are unusable,dull,lack of dynamic & f@#king same
eg. the sc55/88 drum kits(contain in the sc8820),they are weak & 80's like,you will never use them,
also the new sc8820/8850 standard1 drum kit,the snares & BDs are absolutely QUIET & THIN
they are even worse than the sc88pro standard1 drum kit,crap
and for example,try: "strings1" &"strings2" u can't tell the difference between them!
but both of them are suck,of course..
sc & yamaha mu series are only suitable for game music & GM midis on the net

for the same price,you should take a look at the jv1010 (it comes with a"session"board that sounds good)
or pay a little more for a XV2020(64voices only...thats not enough for a XV) or SD80(very nice acoustic sound!)
you may noticed that the sounds in SD80/90 were taken from roland SRX-03,XV series & RD700(the piano sound)
someone just said SD80 sounds better than a XV without expansion card
SD20 has no mfx effects(reverb & chorus only) & only 64 voices,I don't suggest you buy this

yamaha's flagship model,"motif rack" it is also a good choice (I know it's expendsive..)

if you got a sblive or audigy,you may try my soundfont too:

SRX-03,XV series & RD700(the piano sound)
Post by 〒Shan u_u
someone just said SD80 sounds better than a XV without expansion card
SD20 has no mfx effects(reverb & chorus only) & only 64 voices,I don't suggest you buy this
yamaha's flagship model,"motif rack" it is also a good choice (I know it's expendsive..)
