After connecting the left channel of output 1 on the SD-80 to the microphone input on the audio interface and the right channel to line level input, it produces stereo recordings as expected. But after a couple minutes of researching, I found out that every input on an audio interface is actually mono. There is just one tiny problem: the left and right channels got mixed up into one, and is only on the right channel in a stereo recording. As a crappy digital interface may sound worse than a more decent analog one, I went for one of the cheapest audio interfaces available: a Focusrite Scarlett Solo (which is more than 5 times the price of the weird digital interface and probably still better than the one comes with SD-90 as it supports up to 192 KHz sampling rate).įor a audio equipment novice, connecting things up wasn’t that straightforward: I tried connecting the phone output on the SD-80 to the line in of the audio interface and it kind of works.

The closet model I could find in Chinese market was from an unknown vendor and comes with a very sketchy chip, whose official driver only supports up to Windows 7 32-bit. But those kind of things are scarce today. To begin with, I wanted to get something that accepts S/PDIF input for the audio interface. Without the audio interface portion, it’s impossible to use the SD-80 with only a USB connection: you need something for it to connect to in order to make a recording.

As most of the documentation and drivers can be found online, the only things I’ve lost are the demo midi files, which is still a shame. It came with a power cord and its rack mount ears, but without any of its original paperwork or the CD-ROM. Aside from the looks, the module itself is in perfect working order. The value knob takes a lot of force to turn and has a good amount of friction on it, to which I found a quick solution by simply pushing the knob downwards a little bit while turning it. It certainly wasn’t the happiest SD-80 in the world: the chassis bears quite a lot of scratches all around. The module arrived two weeks after the order was placed. After deciding no more compromise should be made, I went straight for the SD-80. On the other hand, SD-80 costs a lot more (starting from ~$200), but is capable of generating everything the SD-90 can (the only missing part in SD-80 compared to SD-90 is the audio interface). Also gone are 3 entire sound banks (and presumably some waveforms). However SD-20 does have half of the polyphony and most editability of other STUDIO Canvas’ axed. SD-20 can be found very cheap online (from $59). The only choices left are SD-80 and SD-20. Therefore although the SD-50 retains the compatibility with the synth engine found in SD-90 (both are from models supporting SRX, namely the XV-5080 and SonicCell), it comes with a complete new set of waveforms and patches which makes it sounds totally different. There’s also the SD-50 which I almost bought back in 2014, before I found out it is essentially a stripped-down version of Roland SonicCell without the SRX expandability. This forced me to resort to lower-end models, namely the SD-80 and SD-20. The deal I tried to make back in 2016 would cost me around $300 (shipping included). I did not go for a SD-90 since they are all ridiculously priced in 2019. Things changed earlier this month, when owner203 helped me acquire my very own SD-80 and kindly delivered it from Japan. However, after a failed purchase attempt made in 2016 which also led to the ridiculous suspension of my ebay account, I left the idea alone for multiple years. There are plenty of deals on ebay though.

But these things are not particularly easy to find in China. STUDIO Canvas acquiredĮver since I learned that ZUN uses a SD-90 as one of his major synthesizers here, I’ve always been dreaming to get my hands on one of those. The sequel contains new updates, discoveries and corrections to this article. UPDATE: A sequel to this article has been posted. Even though I’m a newcomer to the STUDIO Canvas owners community, veterans may still find something interesting here. This article is about my hands on of the EDIROL STUDIO Canvas SD-80.
