The Roland LAPC-I is a sound card for IBM PC compatibles, first introduced in 1988 by Roland Corporation. It is basically the MT-32-compatible Roland CM-32L and the MPU-401 unit, integrated onto a single full-length 8-bit ISA card. In addition to normal Roland dealers aimed at musicians, it was distributed in the USA by Sierra On-Line for use with the company's games. The price of the card was around $500 (US).

  • The Roland LAPC-I is a sound card for IBM PC compatibles, first introduced in 1988 by Roland Corporation. It is basically the MT-32-compatible Roland CM-32L and the MPU-401 unit, integrated onto a single full-length 8-bit ISA card. In addition to normal Roland dealers aimed at musicians, it was distributed in the USA by Sierra On-Line for use with the company's games. The price of the card was around $500 (US). It came with no software or accessories, but then no specific software was necessary, since the MT-32 appeared as a MIDI peripheral connected to the MPU-401 on MIDI channels 2 through 10. To connect an LAPC-I to other MIDI devices, an MCB-1 adapter is required. The card was often mistakenly called LAPC-1, but photos of the card's PCB show an I rather than a 1. The "I" presumably stands for "IBM PC", as there also exists a similar card for the NEC PC-98 computer labeled LAPC-N.
  • Die LAPC-I ist eine frühe Soundkarte der Firma Roland für den IBM-kompatiblen PC. Sie kombiniert die Klangerzeugungs-Technologie des Roland MT-32-kompatiblen Roland CM-32L mit der Roland MPU-401-Schnittstelle auf einer XT-Bus-Architektur-Steckkarte in voller Baulänge. Die Karte war preislich und leistungsmäßig der Oberklasse zuzuordnen. Sie wurde ab 1989 in Deutschland für ca. 1000 DM verkauft. Wie bei anderen Roland-Steckkarten mit MPU-401-Schnittstelle ist zum Anschluss von externen MIDI-Geräten eine Breakout-Box (MCB-1) erforderlich. Die Karte wird oft fälschlicherweise als LAPC-1 bezeichnet; tatsächlich ist das letzte Zeichen aber keine Eins, sondern ein "I" für "IBM" --- in Japan erschien ebenfalls für den dort verbreiteten NEC PC98-Computer eine Karte namens LAPC-N ("N" für "NEC").
  • Roland LAPC-I er et lydkort for PCer, som ble utgitt i 1988 av Roland Corporation. Det er praktisk sett en CM-32L og et MPU-401-grensesnitt på et ISA-kort. Kortet ble solgt i USA av Sierra On-Line for bruk med deres dataspill, i tillegg til de vanlige musikkforretningene. Prisen på kortet var rundt $500. Kortet kom ikke med noe programvare eller ekstrautstyr siden ingen programvare var nødvendig. CM-32L-delen oppførte seg som at den var koblet til MPU-401-delen. Hvis man ville koble til eksterne MIDI-kompatible enheter måtte man kjøpe et adapter kalt MCB-1. Dette adapteret kunne kobles til en spesiell utgang bak på kortet slik at man fikk vanlige inn- og utganger for MIDI. Kortet ble ofte feilaktig kalt LAPC-1, men bilder av kortet viser at det står en I på det, ikke 1. I står antagelig for IBM PC, siden det eksisterer et likt kort for NEC PC-88 kalt Roland LAPC-N.
