Hello!

This video was recorded nearly three years ago, but I had family stuff to take care of last week and my plans for a simple video this week...weren't as simple as I had hoped. So I decided to try and finish an old video project and after two days of editing...I've decided to just delete it because that subject deserves better. So I looked back into my archives and I still had this project instead which I've been keeping around for the perfect time where I could edit but not film. This was one of a few videos I had filmed to cover the time when I was initially moving into the office and I ended up not needing this one. It never felt "right" because there are a few issues here and there, and I could focus on different things. But it's not a "bad" demo so I'm going to give it a shot here.

So this is about a Roland MT-200 which in reality is a combination of an SC-55 and SB-55 but packaged as a tutor and recording solution. Technically this video is a followup to this one ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc0SGBOq0tw ) and has been complicated to make, because I could show it recording directly to MIDI tracks which works well. And I had planned at one point to tie it into the Visual MT software I now covered separately. But in reality, no one is going to look at this thing for it's original uses now. It's a Sound Canvas with a floppy drive built in, you want to hear it jam! And for that, it's almost perfect, in more ways than you might initially think. So I think this simple look is probably going to answer any questions people will really have about this device.
