About the Workshop Booklets

Roland’s SonicCell is designed for modern musicians. Using USB, It adds a

huge set of sounds to your digital audio workstation (or “DAW”) without

adding to your computer’s workload. It’s also an audio interface that can get

signals from mics, instruments, or other devices to DAW tracks for recording.

SonicCell’s Editor software allows you to program SonicCell from within your

DAW. Onstage, its compact size also makes SonicCell the ideal companion

for a laptop DAW, letting you perform and sing along with recorded tracks.

Or use it to play back sequences and audio files from a USB memory stick.

Each SonicCell Workshop booklet focuses on one SonicCell topic, and is

intended as a companion to the SonicCell Owner’s Manual. This booklet

requires SonicCell O.S. Version 1.11 or higher. You can download the latest

SonicCell O.S. for free from www.RolandUS.com.

About This Booklet

This booklet explains using SonicCell with Mark of the Unicorn’s Digital

Performer. We’ll discuss sequencing MIDI tracks in Performer using SonicCell’s

synth sounds. We’ll also talk about using SonicCell as as an audio interface

for recording live audio and SonicCell sounds as audio tracks in Performer.

We’ll assume you’ve installed and know how to operate Performer—

otherwise, consult the documentation in its Help menu. We’ll also assume

you’ve read the Using SonicCell with a DAW and Using SonicCell as an Audio

Interface Workshop booklets, that SonicCell and your computer are hooked

up and turned on, and that you’re listening through SonicCell.

Throughout this booklet, you’ll come across information that deserves

special attention—that’s the reason it’s labeled with one of the following

symbols.

A note is something that adds information about the topic at hand.

A tip offers suggestions for using the feature being discussed.

Warnings contain important information that can help you avoid

Configuring Performer to Work with SonicCell

Setting Up Performer for SonicCell Audio
