Roland SCC-1 in different packaging.

[Patrick Chang]

All this started from Locutus acquiring a Roland SCC-1... so I decided to start a new topic.

Eventually, I suspect a 4th type of packaging in the Roland SCC-1. There are currently 3 types that confirmed to exist.

1. Original Roland SCC-1 (317) card without the BalladeGS software bundle. (with old or new version of utility disk)
2. Updated Roland SCC-1A (354) card without the BalladeGS software bundle. (with new version of utility disk)
3. Updated Roland SCC-1A (354) card with the BalladeGS software bundle. (with new version of utility disk, some may come with 37 extra patch sheet)

4. Original Roland SCC-1 (317) card with the BalladeGS software bundle. (with new version of utility disk)

Currently I own a Type-1 and a Type-3 SCC-1.
Locutus own a Type-2 SCC-1.
Galahad might have a Type-4 ... still awaiting his photo to confirm.

Other queststudios member owns a Roland SCC-1 please contribute to this.

What I need is a detail description of your SCC-1 packing list and with a clear photo shot of your SCC-1. (can read the IC description)

Ok. Finally I received Galahad's photo of his SCC-1. Not very clear but I manage to guess it out. Galahad's is SCC-1 is a Type-4. With a different kind of box instead of the ordinary yellow box.

The reason for suspecting a Type-4 is because, Roland might have a 354 patches version of SCC-1 with the SCC-1 marking [instead of SCC-1A] on the circuit board. Probably trying to finish the old circuit board with new chipset during the transition period of the 317 patches to 354 patches version of the SCC-1.

Whether it is a 317 patches or 354 patches, both only have 24 voices.

But the Roland voice reserve did a pretty good job... you wouldn't notice whether it's 24 or 28 voices.
