This zip file contains 7 files for the Roland SC-8850

- one .ini file for PowerTracks, and

- six .pat files for Band in a Box:

1. SC-8850.ini for PTPA all patches, variations, and drum

kits for all four modes SC-8850 (native), SC-88Pro map, SC-88 map, and SC-55.
I have found that if the first 128 patches are not listed, e.g.:

1=Patch1
2=Patch2
.
.
128= last patch

Then even if I use the x,y,x format (i.e., "patch#, MSB(bank), LSB(set)")
in, the list of patch names (in PTPA) is blank (i.e., none) and
you can't "see" the x,y,z, formatted list. So I placed the first 128 patches
capital tones) in front for each set or mode (i.e., SC-8850 map, SC-88Pro
map, SC-88 map, and SC-55 map) then REPEATED with the "hard coded"
"patch,msb,lsb". This then forces the switching of modes or sets in the
SC-8850. Hence, there are two bank zero's - the second will fore mode or set
switching. The first bank will only select patches of the indicated number in
whatever mode or set the unit is in! Cumbersome but.....

Note - Credit is due Robin Graber who created/typed in the first set of
tones for SC-8850 (the highest bank number 4 plus those drum sets). The
remaining modes (SC-88Pro, SC-88, SC-55, user tones, and associated drumsets)
are modified from my SC-880.ini file which I created.

2. The six Patch files for BIAB are needed since BIAB will not use or allow
more than 1000 lines in the patch text file (i.e., the .pat file). The
contents of the files are:

a. SC8850_8850_cap_to_Var18.pat - contains the first bank (bank 0 also

called Captial Tones) through variation numbers 18. This is 986 lines
with a few comments

b. SC8850_8850_var19_up.pat - contains remaining variations of the SC-8850

in "SC8850" or Variations 19 through variations 48.

c. SC8850_userbanks.pat - contains the 2 banks of user tones (variations

65 and 66) - they are repeats of basic sounds and this list assumes
factory defaults. It is up to user to modify name list when they create
their own tones.

d. SC8850_88Pro.pat - contains the SC8850 map for the SC-88Pro tones

(which is the same as the SC-880 Native mode sounds).

e. SC8850_88.pat - contains the SC8850 map for the SC-88 tones.

f. SC8850_55.pat - contains the SC8850 map for the SC-55 tones.
