An SCC-1 is a Roland SC-55 module on a board its General MIDI. As far as I
know, this board can do many effects, but cannot take new patches like the
MT-32. Jason can you please say that I am wrong? :-) If I am, I will go buy
one right now! :-) I have an MT-32, and from the experance I have from it, it
shouldn't be too hard to extract the PCM parts from the MIDI streem, but it
will be very hard to get the synth parts. Does anyone know a technition at
Roland?
