...Came out in early 90's I believe. I think that SC55 chip was on my Roland RAP-10 card back then.



Yeah it's ancient by today's standards. I think I should retire it and put it out of its misery.

Try the Coyote Forte free trial. It'll be on the new drive. Listen to others like that little Ketron SD2 sold here on this very site-...
You can hear it here-...

Then go play a couple newer synths in a store somewhere. See what floats your boat.
Without knowing what kind of sounds you are after, its hard to recommend anything



OK thanks I'll check out Coyote when the drive arrives.
I'll also check out some synths in the stores.

I play guitar and violin.
For the most part I just use bass and drums with BIAB, which now are pretty much audio.
But I may branch out into some other parts as well.
The problem is that once you hear the BIAB 2011 demos (say Gypsy jazz with violin and acoustic guitars)
you just can't put up with any violin/guitar midi sound again.
Ditto for many of the other instruments.

I really just need a good sounding piano/vibes part, bass and drums and that's about it for my jazz.
The vibes I have right now soft/hard synth suck pretty bad.
The one on the 2011 demo doesn't sound too bad. I assume it's real, but it might be a synth.
