Roland has released Sound Canvas VA, a software synthesizer version of the Sound Canvas sound module.
First introduced in 1991, the Roland Sound Canvas series has long been the de-facto standard in GS sound modules. With the Sound Canvas VA, you can now use this classic sound source with your DAW music productions as a VSTi or AU plug-in.
It comes with over 1,600 high-quality sounds, plus 64 different insert effects, global effects like reverb and EQ, and extensive sound editing capabilities. Also included are sound maps to perfectly play MIDI music files created on the SC-88 Pro and other hardware Sound Canvas sound modules.
Combining classic sounds with current technology, the Sound Canvas VA is the modern evolution of a long-running benchmark.
