The thing that made the Sound Canvas great was it's plug and play general midi implementation. Other than that, it sounds terrible compared to what is available today.

Here's my answer. :) Throughout the late 80's & 90's I created upwards of 400 MIDI files with Sound Canvas (first the SC-55 and then the 88), for backup at solo gigs or when I had one other guitar player or singer with me. When I retired from performing in '97, I never kept up with the tech, and the MIDIs have sat there for almost 20 years. Now I'm back to performing, and for a quick restart I need to have my MIDIs back with the same sounds they were created with. Otherwise, there'd be a whole l lot of work remixing/tweaking the new sounds of new tech. Eventually, I'll use the newer stuff, but this gets me up and running much faster for now.

This link provides all the contact info needed: You won't be disappointed with SCVA itself. In the 90's I had the SC-88 hardware, but never upgraded to Pro or SC-8820. This software contains ALL of it. The downside with MC or Sonar, as mentioned on the Roland site is, "you cannot use control changes to make correct bank selections and program changes". I'm still working on how to deal with that, but it CAN be done in another DAW that I won't mention publicly because this is, after all, the MC forum. :) However, even in the DAW where things work fully, there is an issue with tone map changing that doesn't seem to be working well. In any case, if your main concern (like myself) is to have use of the Sound Canvas sounds, it's 100% spot on, and is still quite functional in MC if the limitations aren't a huge issue for you. Oh, and it's compatible with Mac OS X 10.8.5 or later; for Windows, only 7 SP1, 8/8.1, and 10 are supported. post edited by jyoung60 - 2016/01/24 20:58:19 DAW: Cakewalk by Bandlab (latest version) - x64VST: Roland Sound Canvas VAHardware: Roland MC50mkII Sequencer; Yamaha DGX-660 keyboard; SteinbergSound Canvas VA - Roland Cloud
Program. The "PRO" edit mode should be called "don't bother clicking this"I'll still use it's presets sometimes for the VA sounds if I stumble on a cool one, but it's rompler presets are what is worth it about Zenology for me. It's just got so many good ones. I believe it probably has everything as well from the SRX series but I get torn between using those and the actual SRX series. I feel like some stuff might be left out and the SRX series has 3 FX so you get to hear what the sounds are originally meant to sound like Does anyone else have issues where if you have Roland cloud synths loaded on a project, your DAW takes like 10 minutes to load up? Quote: Originally Posted by mike vee ➡️ Does anyone else have issues where if you have Roland cloud synths loaded on a project, your DAW takes like 10 minutes to load up? Yeah any project I use the ACB synths in takes an age to open. They sound great when I'm using one at a time, but I have to freeze them and switch the plugin off if I want to have more than one instance.I guess that's one benefit of the TAL and Arturia plugins; they feel fully optimized and run without filling up the CPU meter.

Alot depends on the SYSX data in the Midi file.A Midi file sometimes has no popup request to load the SYSX messages and will play as GS.A GM environment may or may not sound correct. SONAR allows writing in a popup tag whilewriting SYSX data in the Midi file as either GM, GM2 or GS. Next time the popup will appear.About Roland Sound Canvas VA: The sound engine will change to either GM, GM2 or GSdepending on the SYSX data in the Midi file when played in all SONAR, loopMIDI and SAVIHost.I played several different Midi files and all changed the SCVA sound engine to the correspondingMode except one Midi file. That Midi file is GS and didn't generate the SYSX popup request.SCVA still played it in GS mode. That is one exception which shows how SYSX data works. Before finding this thread I posted this for everyone. Check this link: Sincerely,David R. post edited by David R. - 2016/04/21 01:12:39SONAR and Roland Sound Canvas VA

The Roland ED Sound Canvas SC-8850 is a GS-compatible MIDI sound module released in 1999 by Roland under the name Edirol. The SC-8850 was the first sound module to incorporate the new General MIDI Level 2 standard. The SC-8850 uses a PCM sampling engine, supports 128-voice polyphony with 64-part multitimbrality.
