As long as you have 2 slots available. The SBPro would use one
while the SCC-1 qould use the other. I don't know if the SBPro
has a line input for the SCC-1 though. But you could buy a cheasy
mixer from Radio Shock and use that. But they CAN co-exist. That's
what most of us are doing :)

I am using an SCC-1 along with an SB16. It works great. Simply
make sure the two boards are using different MIDI port addresses
(suggestion: leave the SCC-1 at 330H and move the SB16 address)
and different IRQs.
I'm also using an external mixer. I've seen several people suggest
that it is a simple matter to pick up simple, small, cheap, etc...
external mixer for doing this. That hasn't been my experience at all.
I wanted 3 stereo inputs; SCC-1, SB16, and CD audio. I went to several
Radio Shack stores and saw plenty of small mixers with phono level
inputs or mono mic level inputs. I couldn't find anything with 3 stereo
(6 channel) _line level_ inputs and line level output. Then I went to
several music equipment stores and I found plenty of 6 and 8 channel line
level mixers starting at $250 and going up fast from there. I even
posted a note here looking for help. The only reply I received pointed
out what was probably a very nice mixer, but it was more than $500.
I finally found a used Realistic (Radio Shack) 6 channel line level
mixer in the back corner of big music store. I don't have the model
number with me, but I don't think they are being sold by RS any more.
It is a desktop unit that feels much more solid than many of the mixers
I had seen. I've heard quieter mixers, but this one isn't bad and it
gives me a pan pot and some limited equalization on each channel. I paid
$70 for it. I have no idea if it was a good price or not, but it was
worth it to me compared to the alternatives.
Soooo, the bottom line is that the SCC-1 works great with my SB16 and
I'm sure it will work with an SBPro. I like having a simple external
mixer, but it was harder to find one than I expected.

I did and it is GREAT. Just run a stereo mini plug from the head phone out
port on the scc1 and plug it into the LINE IN on the SBPRO. THat way, you
can use the SB mixer. Or, what you can do (it's what I do) is run 2 sets
of powered speakers. 1 set from the sbpro and the other set from the SCC-1
that way, you can have independent volume control without having to load the mixer
