Compared to today’s standard virtual instrument setup, this noise floor at -50db is considered quite noisy, but it is to be expected since almost 100 analog signals are mixed into the Cubase.Ī very quick solution to produce absolute silence (i.e minus infinity dB) when there is no sound activity on my Project Behemoth is by turning on the Noise Gate on the output channel strip of your Mix Console. Measurably you would get a similar (or perhaps even worse) if using the analog line outs from the actual hardware!ĩ7 Sound Canvas plug-ins is the highest number of instances used for my Project Behemoth. However if you keep on adding more of the same plug-ins, the noise level will eventually add up & become audible as shown on this table below: Number of active SC-VA instancesįrom a purist perpective, the SC-VA through it’s true ’emulation’ of the original SC-8820 retained the same electronic components of its glory days, resulting in the noisy output. Back in the late 1990’s, this would have been acceptable via an analog mixer as such a level was too weak to be detected by our ears. As a result, the moment you have more than one SC-VA plug-in instances routed to an output bus, a measurable noise floor will be observable into Cubase’s mixing bus.

It has a 70.6 x 24.5mm backlit LCD screen on the front panel along with the power switch, volume know, preview switch, headphone jack as well as several buttons. The SC-88 featured more memory, multitimbral, and polyphony compared to the SC-55MKII while also adding EQ. The SC-88 was basically an expanded version of the SC-55MKII which was released in 1993. Since the SC-88 has audio input jacks with input level adjustment, you can also connect other sound sources to output from the audio output jacks mixed with the sounds of the SC-88. Most of the sound parameters can even be edited directly thanks to dedicated buttons. These parameters range from depth, rate, and time to frequency, character, and more. Additional fine adjustments to the sound can be made by specifying the parameters for each effect. It allows you to modify the sounds by tweaking vibrato, filter and envelope and other parameters and also comes with eight types of reverb, eight types of chorus, ten types of delay, and other effects. Users can also create their own sounds and drum sets as the SC-88 features 256 user sounds and two user drum sets. Amongst these sounds are the same ones as the SC-55/55MKII, which means that the SC-88 can correctly play the song data of these modules too. It has 654 high-quality sounds, along with 24 types of drum sound sets.
In terms of features, the SC-88 a 32 part multitimbral sound module with 64 voices of polyphony.
The SC-88 sound module is used for playback of song data with the GM mark as well as GS song data.
