Roland Sound Canvas

Roland/Edirol Sound Canvas lineup is a series of General MIDI based PCM sound modules and PC sound cards primarily intended for computer music usage, created by Roland Corporation. Some models include serial or USB connection to computer.

The Sound Canvas engine has been widely used as a basis for most of Roland's electronic keyboard products, particularly the Interactive Arranger and Backing Keyboard lineups.

There is also the VSC, Virtual Sound Canvas, range of PC software which provide GM and GS synthesis on Windows PCs. Many versions of Cakewalk's Sonar software came bundled with a copy of VSC, though from Sonar 4 onwards they ship with the improved TTS-1 softsynth, which Roland has sold previously through its Edirol subsidiary as the HyperCanvas.
