Additionally, CM-500 includes fully SysEx compatible LA tone generator similar to CM-32L's. SC-155 adds additional slider controls for master and channel level and panning. Both models have external appearance nearly identical to Roland's earlier CM-32/64-series modules. CM-300 and CM-500 models lack the LCD screen and extended controls of SC-55. Other models with comparable tone generators include Roland CM-300, Roland CM-500 and Roland SC-155 sound modules.

Aimed at PC music enthusiasts, the SC-55 featured 317 instrument patches, including the GS drum kits and additional controllers. It came preloaded with the Roland MT-32's variation bank, but lacked the MT-32's re-programmability. The SC-55 used both PCM and a cut-down version of the LA synthesis engine, to support 24-voice polyphony with 16-part multitimbrality. The SC-55 was the first sound module to incorporate the new General MIDI standard.
It was also available in sound card form as the Roland SCC-1 and tabletop form as the SC-155. It is nearly but not quite fully General MIDI Level 1 compatible. I don't know the velocities but the 626 has -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, 3 accent, per step, per drum so there are a lot of variations available but still keep some good rhythmic feel in the music having set levels vs a computer doing all sorts of velocities that are not duplicated at any step.The Roland SC-55 (Sound Canvas) is a GS MIDI sound module released in 1991 by Roland. The SC-55 is a half-rack tone generator and the first of the Roland Sound Canvas series.

Update - had a chance to sequence this with the TR-626 and using all seven accent settings available it is great to settle the 808 drums into a busy pattern that's got a lot of feel and subtle nuances inside of it. Not so cheap on ebay but cheap from average guy sellers or people who forgot they even had one of these. I can still use these all, making an almost cheesy tune then mangle it with filters and FX that can afterwards be sampled and reworked into a clever rhythm or remix the likes of which youd think you heard before but cant place it yet. Good drums but the rest of the sound set is just ingredients for the most basic of things, horns, pads, synth leads, pianos, the typical digital age of quantity over quality. I heard about this from LegoWelt and when he mentioned the 808 sounds I knew it would be right for me, I needed something I could stuff in a rack of gear and forget about but have a nice raw and clean set of 808 drums at hand to play from my TR-626 or MMT-8 easily and trouble free. Using this is easy and I keep it around for being so small yet having one of the nicest TR-808 drum sets for such a low price.
