Re: Roland Sound canvas 55 connect to PC

Start Cakewalk, go to the Setting Menu and click on MIDI Devices. Select the MIDI OUT port (USB or SB OUT), and put it on top.
Go to the Setting Menu again, and click on Instruments.
Highlight the first 16 channels on the left and click on General MIDI on the right. Then select channel 10 on the left and click on GM drums on the right.
Now you can use the SC-55 to play your GM files.

: Hello Everyone,

: Im needing some expert advice here.

: I have an old Roland SC55 sound module that i want to connect to a PC with Windows XP. The pc has Cakewalk 9 installed.
