 Main Features

Both a MIDI sound generator and an audio interface

The SC-D70 provides a complete platform for desktop music production with MIDI
and audio. It allows you to create sequence data that combines MIDI and audio, and
allows MIDI → audio conversion by looping back the output of the sound
generator—all by connecting a single USB cable.

24-bit/48 kHz USB audio interface

An original Roland driver and custom IC are used to support 24-bit/48 kHz USB
audio. ASIO 1.0 is also supported, allowing songs with audio tracks to be created
using numerous sequencer programs.

Digital audio I/O

The SC-D70 provides digital audio I/O. By connecting it with external digital audio
devices such as CD or MD, the output of the song you create can be converted into
digital form. Both optical and coaxial connectors are provided.

GM (General MIDI)/GM 2 (General MIDI 2)/GS format support

The SC-D70 supports the GM, GM2, and GS formats. Music data conforming to the
GM/GM2/GS formats can be played by a computer or sequencer on the SC-D70.

32-part/64-voice sound generator

The SC-D70 contains a 32-part, 64-voice multitimbral sound generator. You can
enjoy ensemble performance using just a single SC-D70.
* Only when the USB connector is used. When the MIDI connectors are used, a maximum of
16 parts are available.

Versatile and high-quality sounds

The SC-D70 provides a versatile and high-quality selection of 1,608 sounds and 63
drum sets. These include the same sounds as the SC-55/55mkII, SC-88, SC-88Pro,
and SC-8820, allowing you to enjoy your existing music data or commercially
available music data. (*1)
Furthermore, the sounds that are available on the SC-8820 tone map are organized
in a manner that is compatible with the top-of-the-line SC-8850. This means that
music data that was produced for the SC-8850 can be played back using essentially
the same instrumentation (*2).
*1 The performance may differ slightly depending on the data.
*2 Although the arrangement of sounds in the SC-8850 map and the SC-8820 map are
identical, differences in the waveform data that is used, the number of voices used by each
sound, and the maximum polyphony of each device may mean that the reproduction may
not be perfect.

A full complement of effects

The SC-D70 provides 64 different insertion effects, 8 kinds of reverb, 8 kinds of
chorus, 10 kinds of delay, and a two-band equalizer. In addition, you can adjust the
parameter settings of each effect for total control over your sound.

 Main Features

GM (General MIDI)
fig.GM logo

General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go

beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities
of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meet the
General MIDI standard bear the General MIDI logo ( ).
Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General
MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.

GM2 (General MIDI 2)

fig.GM2 logo

The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 ( ) recommendations pick up where

the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and
even greater compatibility.
Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such
as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been
precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded.
General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably playing back
music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include the
new enhancements, is referred to as “General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it
from General MIDI 2.

GS Format
fig.GS logo

The GS Format ( ) is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the

performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including support for
everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format
additionally offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing of
sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of extra features, including
effects such as reverb and chorus.
Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily include new sounds
and support new hardware features when they arrive.

Example of an Analog Loop Connection Example of a Digital Loop Connection

If you connect the SC-D70 as shown in the above diagram with another device that
passes the input audio back to the output (e.g., a MD/DAT/CD-R in recording
mode), the sound will loop between the SC-D70 and the other device, causing
oscillation and producing an unexpected high volume. Be aware that such
connections can cause malfunctions or damage your speakers. Aside from the
situation shown in the above diagram, make sure that the connections are not
causing one of the following situations.
• Is there a loop between analog and digital?
• Has a loop connection resulted from signals passing through a mixer or
other device?

Turning on the Power

Once the connections have been completed (p. 18), turn on power to your various
devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk
causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

About SCMS

“SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)” is a function on consumer digital audio

devices such as DAT recorders or MD recorders that protects the rights of the
producer by prohibiting second-generation and subsequent copying over a digital
connection. When recording via a digital connection to a digital recorder that has this
function, SCMS data is recorded along with the digital audio data. Digital audio data
that contains this data cannot be recorded again via a digital connection.

About the internal sound generator

The SC-D70 contains a GS/GM2 compatible sound generator equivalent to that of
the SC-8820, providing a diverse and high-quality array of 1608 sounds and 63 drum
sets. It also has four sound maps, which provide the same sounds as the SC-8820, SC-
88 and SC-88Pro, and SC-55/55mkII. This allows the SC-D70 to meet a wide range
of your sound needs for song creation, and allows it to play back music data created
for earlier models.
It also provides a rich assortment of effects processing capability: 64 different
insertion effects, 8 kinds of reverb, 8 kinds of chorus, 10 kinds of delay, and a two-
band equalizer.

Parts and sounds

The SC-D70 is able to play 32 different sounds simultaneously. (However, only when
connected via USB.) A sound generator such as the SC-D70 that is able to play
multiple sound simultaneously is referred to as a multitimbral sound generator.
The term “timbre” means “sound” or “tone.” Since 32 different sounds can be
produced simultaneously, this means that (if we use the analogy of an orchestra), the
SC-D70 can play an ensemble of 32 musical parts. The sound played by each part of
the SC-D70 is called an instrument (An instrument list is provided on p. 58.) You can
create an ensemble by assigning the desired sound to each of the 32 parts.

■ Different types of parts

The SC-D70 has 32 parts, A01–A16 and B01–B16, organized into groups A and B with
a number from 01 to 16. Each part can be set either as a normal part or as a drum You can change the part

■ Selecting a drum set (drum part)

Sounds are selected differently on a drum part than on a normal part.
The sounds of a drum set are assigned to individual notes of the keyboard. When
you select a drum part and play the keyboard, a different sound will be heard for
each key. This is because it is not necessary to specify the pitch of a drum sound
when you play it.
Drum sets can be switched in the same way as when switching capital sounds for a
normal part. Variation numbers are not used for a drum part.

1. Make sure that the PART sound generator indicator is lit.

If it is not lit, press [PART].

2. Press [INC] or [DEC] to select a drum part.

By default, part 10 (A10, B10) is a drum part.

3. Press [INST], getting the INST sound generator indicator to light.

■ Using MIDI messages to switch drum sets from

another device or sequencer software
In the same way as for instruments, you can transmit MIDI messages from your
sequencer software to select drum sets. The drum set will switch when the Program
Change message is received. Transmit the Program Change message on the same
channel as the MIDI receive channel of the drum part. With the default settings, part
10 is the drum part (MIDI receive channel: 10). On the SC-D70, the drum set number
corresponds to the program number.
Set the note numbers of the rhythm data to be played so that they match the note
numbers of the drum set you are using.

map, the SC-88Pro sounds by the SC-88Pro map, the SC-88 sounds by the SC-88 map,
and essentially the same sounds as the SC-55/SC-55mkII by the SC-55 map.
To use the same sounds as the SC-88Pro/SC-88/SC-55, you can switch the map via
MIDI.

■ About legato sounds

The SC-D70 contains certain “legato” sounds that are ideal for legato playing,
allowing you to realistically simulate a performance of that instrument. For example,
on a stringed instrument, an attack is heard when the player begins to move the bow,
but the sound will continue smoothly as long as the bow continues to move, and no
new attack is heard. Legato sounds simulate this sense of attack by turning specific
voices within the instrument on/off according to how you play the keyboard.
Try playing one of these instruments.
Press a key, and then press another key without releasing that key. The first note you
played will have a sense of attack, but the second will be connected smoothly
without an attack.
fig.23-05.e

If you wish to produce an attack, release all the keys before playing the next key.
fig.23-06.e

It is not possible to turn the

an instrument. You must
select an instrument
appropriate for your
purposes.

How polyphony and voices are related

The sounds of the SC-D70 consist of units called voices. The number of these voices
is limited, and the SC-D70 is able to use 64 voices simultaneously. Some sounds
(instruments) use one voice, and others use two voices (Instrument List p. 58). The If song data created with 64

is received, a voice is still being used until the sound has completely disappeared. Be and SC-88 have 64 voices,
aware of this particularly when using sounds with a long release time. the SC-55 has 24 voices,
and the SC-55mkII has 28
voices.

About MIDI
■ What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. By using MIDI you can convey
musical instrument performance data, or sound selections. MIDI is a universally
recognized standard, so MIDI-compatible instruments and devices, regardless of
model or manufacture, can send music data to each other, subject to certain
differences in their capabilities. MIDI uses a form of data called MIDI messages to
convey actions occurring during play of an instrument, such as “a note was played”
or “a pedal was pressed.”
Knowledge of MIDI is not necessarily required in order to play commercially
available music data on the SC-D70, or when playing the SC-D70 from computer
software (such as games). You can simply perform the operations described in the
manual for your music data playback device (MIDI player) or software to play music
on the SC-D70.
The explanations that follow will be helpful when you wish to use MIDI to control
the SC-D70 in greater detail. Read this material as necessary.

How MIDI messages are exchanged

We will begin by explaining how MIDI messages are sent and received.

MIDI connectors
On the SC-D70, MIDI messages are sent and received using the following two types
of connectors. As appropriate for your setup, connect MIDI cables to these
connectors.

 Appendix

MIDI channels and multitimbral sound generators

MIDI can send numerous streams of performance data over a single MIDI cable. This
is made possible by MIDI channels. From the large amount of data that it receives,
the receiving device can select and use only the data that is intended for it.
MIDI channels are analogous to the channels on a television. By changing channels
on a television you can view programs from many different broadcast stations. You
can select the program you wish to view by setting the television to match the
channel of the desired broadcast station. In MIDI as well, messages are received
when the receive channel matches the transmit channel.
fig.25-02.e

Station A
The TV is set to the channel
of the station you wish to watch.
Station B

Station C

The cable from the antenna carries the TV signals from many broadcast stations.

There are sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. Music data is received when the
transmit channel of the transmitting device matches the receive channel of the
receiving device.
If you set MIDI channels as shown below, playing the keyboard will cause only
sound generator B to produce sound; sound generator A will not produce sound.
This is because sound generator B is set to the channel the keyboard is transmitting
on, while sound generator A does not use a matching channel (figure 1). On the other
hand, if you set the transmit channel of the keyboard to match sound generator A,
sound generator A will produce sound (figure 2).

Since the SC-D70 has one MIDI IN, it is able to receive 16 channels of messages. By
using 16 channels you can play a sixteen-part ensemble. (If you wish to use 32 parts
you must use a USB cable.) A sound generator like the SC-D70 that is able to play
many parts simultaneously is called a multitimbral sound generator. The term
“timbre” means “sound” or “tone.”
There are two kinds of parts: normal parts and drum parts (p. 31). Normal parts are
used to play melody or bass. On a GM/GS sound generator, channel 10 is the drum
part channel.

The GM 2 sound map differs from the GS format. The SC-D70 normally operates
according to the GS format, but if it receives a GM2 On message it will switch to GM2
mode and use the GM2 sound map. In this case, it will not be possible to select the
SC-D70 sounds.

■ Major types of MIDI message used by the SC-D70

MIDI uses various types of MIDI message to convey different types of performance
information. For example, information like “such-and-such a note was played, with
this much force” is transmitted as a note message.
The action that a device takes (such as how it produces sound) when it receives each
type of MIDI message will depend on the specifications of that device. This means
that if the receiving device does not have the function requested by the transmitted
message, the desired result will not occur.
The major types of MIDI message that can be received by the SC-D70 are described
below.
* Messages marked by a ✩ symbol are those for which reception is required by the GM System
(level 1).

Note Messages✩
These messages convey keyboard operations. Note messages include the following
information:
Note number: a number assigned to each key
Note-on: transmitted when a key is pressed
Note-off: transmitted when a key is released
Velocity: a value expressing the speed at which the key was pressed
The note number is a value that expresses the location of the note on the keyboard in
the range of 0–127, with middle C (C4) as 60.

Pitch Bend Change✩

These messages convey operations of the pitch bender lever (wheel) provided on
most synthesizers. This allows the pitch to be continuously varied.

Program Change✩
This message is normally used to switch sounds. A program number from 1 to 128
is used to select the desired sound. The SC-D70 can use Program Changes to switch
sounds (instruments). By using Bank Select messages (a type of Control Change
message) in conjunction with Program Changes, you can select from an even wider
range of sounds (p. 34).

Expression (controller number 11)✩

This message conveys changes in volume. It is used to create expressive changes in
volume during a song.

Using volume and expression

It is convenient to distinguish the use of volume and expression as follows.
Volume: adjust the volume balance between parts The part volume will

Hold (1) (controller number 64)✩

This message conveys movements of the damper pedal when it is pressed or
released to sustain the currently sounding notes. When a Hold On message is
received, the notes will be sustained. Decay-type sounds such as a piano will
continue to decay until Hold Off is received. Sustaining sounds such as an organ will
continue sounding until Hold Off is received.

Sostenuto (controller number 66)

This message conveys movements of the sostenuto pedal, which sustains only those
notes that were already being held down at the instant that the pedal was pressed.
When Sostenuto On is received, only those notes that were in the key-on state at that
moment will be sustained. Decay-type sounds such as a piano will continue to decay
until Sostenuto Off is received. Sustaining sounds such as an organ will continue
sounding until Sostenuto Off is received.

51
 Appendix

Soft (controller number 67)

This message conveys movements of the soft pedal, which gives the sound a more
muted tone while the pedal is pressed.
When Soft On is received, the cutoff frequency will be lowered, producing a more
muted tone. When Soft Off is received, the cutoff frequency will return to its
previous value.

Reverb Send Level (controller number 91)

This message applies a reverb effect to the part.

Chorus Send Level (controller number 93)

This message applies a chorus effect to the part.

Delay Send Level (controller number 94)

This message applies a delay effect to the part.

Active Sensing
This message allows the receiving device to detect a broken or disconnected MIDI
cable. The SC-D70 transmits an Active Sensing message from MIDI IN at regular
intervals.
Once an Active Sensing message is received at MIDI IN, the receiving unit will begin
monitoring Active Sensing. If 420 milliseconds elapse without an Active Sensing or
other message being received, the receiving unit will decide that the cable has been
disconnected. It will then stop all sounding notes, perform the same processing as
when a Reset All Controllers message is received, and cease monitoring Active
Sensing.

53
 Appendix

System Exclusive Messages

Exclusive messages are used to control functions that are unique to a specific device.
Universal System Exclusive messages can be used even for devices made by
different manufacturers, but most exclusive messages cannot be exchanged between
different models or devices made by different manufacturers.
In order to specify the device for which the data is intended, Roland exclusive
messages contain a manufacturer ID, a device ID, and a model ID.
For the SC-D70, the manufacturer ID is 41H, the device ID is 10H, and the model ID
is 42H.

GM1 System On✩

(Universal system exclusive)
When GM System On message is received, the receiving device will set itself to the
basic GM settings. After a GM System On is received, NRPN messages can no longer
be received. A GM System On message is included at the beginning of song data
bearing the GM logo. This means that when the song data is played from the
beginning, the sound generator will automatically be initialized to the basic settings.

GM2 System On
(Universal system exclusive)
When a GM2 System On message is received, the receiving device will set itself to
the basic GM2 settings. For details refer to p. 48.

GS Reset
(System exclusive common to GS format)
When a GS Reset is received, the receiving device will set itself to the basic GS
settings. Once a GS Reset has been received, the NRPN messages defined by the GS
format can be received. A GS Reset message is included at the beginning of song data
that bears the GS logo. This means that when the song data is played back from the
beginning, the sound generator will automatically be initialized to the basic settings.

Master Volume
(Universal system exclusive)
This is an exclusive message common to all MIDI devices, used to control the master
volume of all parts.

Other exclusive messages

The SC-D70 supports the exclusive messages defined by the GS format as common
to all GS sound generators (model ID 42). By using these exclusive messages, you can
store the internal settings of the SC-D70, or make detailed changes to the parameters.
For an explanation of the exclusive messages transmitted and received by the SC-
D70, refer to the “Appendix” in the accompanying CD-ROM.

54
 Appendix

About the MIDI implementation chart

MIDI allows a wide variety of devices to be connected and used together. However,
in some cases, it may not be possible to exchange certain MIDI messages. For
example, even if you attempt to control an effect by sending aftertouch messages
from your keyboard, nothing will happen if the connected sound generator does not
respond to aftertouch. In this way, only messages that are supported by both devices
can be exchanged successfully.
The MIDI specification requires that a MIDI implementation chart (refer to
“Appendix” in the accompanying CD-ROM”) be included in the owner’s manual of
each MIDI device. Compare the Transmit column of the transmitting device’s chart
with the Receive column of the receiving device’s chart. Messages marked by “O” in
both columns can be exchanged. If either column shows a “X,” that message cannot
be exchanged.
The “Appendix” in the accompanying CD-ROM also contains explanations of the
MIDI implementation of the SC-8850, such as the data format for exclusive messages.

55
Appendix

Using NRPN messages with a GS sound generator

There is an extended range of Control Change messages called NRPN (Non-
registered Parameter Number). GS sound generators can use these NRPN messages
to adjust sound parameters such as vibrato, filter, and envelope. This allows you to
use relatively simple and compact Control Change messages to modify the sound,
instead of using complex System Exclusive data (p. 51). The controller number is a
number used to specify the function of these Control Change messages.
The MIDI specification does not define the functions that can be assigned to NRPN.
NRPN is an extended range to which parameters unique to a device or performance
expression parameters can be assigned. In contract, RPN (Registered Parameter
Number) is an extended range of Control Changes whose function is defined by the
MIDI specification (p. 52).
To use NRPN, you first use the combination of NRPN MSB (controller number 99)
and NRPN LSB (controller number 98) to specify a function (sound parameter), and
then transmit a Data Entry (controller number 6) message to modify the value of the
specified sound parameter.
The MIDI implementation gives the combination of NRPN values (for GS sound
generators) in hexadecimal notation, but a table converted into decimal notation is
given below.
NRPN NRPN Value Function
MSB LSB range
1 8 0 - 64 - 127 Vibrato rate *1
1 9 0 - 64 - 127 Vibrato depth *1

29 rr 0 - 127 Drum instrument reverb send level
Adjust the reverb depth for each percussion instrument
of the drum part.
30 rr 0 - 127 Drum instrument chorus send level
Adjust the chorus depth for each percussion instrument
of the drum part.
31 rr 0 - 127 Drum instrument delay send level
Adjust the delay depth for each percussion instrument
of the drum part (only for SC-88/SC-88Pro/SC-8850/
SC-8820/SC-D70).
As an example, we will explain how to change the TVF cutoff frequency (one of the
functions listed above). First specify the function to be controlled (TVF cutoff
frequency) by the combination of NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB. NRPN MSB is
controller number 99, and NRPN LSB is controller number 98.
Transmit the following:
Controller number 99, value of 1
Controller number 98, value of 32.
This will specify the TVF cutoff frequency. Next, use the Data Entry Control Change
to specify the value (xx) of the TVF cutoff frequency.

When you transmit this value, the TVF cutoff frequency will change, adjusting the
tone of the instrument selected for that part.

In order to prevent accidental Data Entry operations, we recommend that you send
the following RPN value.

PC : Program Number (Drum Set Number)

* Sounds in such as the drum set of STANDARD L/R and STANDARD 3 etc. that have “RND” appended to their name (such as Kick, Snare,
and Hi-Hat) in the list on the next page are sounds which will change randomly with each note played (these changes affect the timbre and
timing). The purpose of this is to create a more natural sounding performance–even if all note messages for percussive instruments are sent with
absolute precision, subtle fluctuations will be applied so the performance sounds less mechanical. Note, however, that you may not always be
able to obtain the desired effect, depending on the circumstances.
