Canopus Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Roland Sound Canvas VA will be discontinued on September 1, 2024. As they say on Roland Cloud, Quote Unlike other instruments and effects on Roland Cloud, Sound Canvas VA was built on an older framework that we are no longer able to adequately support. This is especially true as the various OS platforms and plug-in hosts demand regular updates for compatibility and performance. Read the full statement here: https://www.rolandcloud.com/home/news/final-notice-sound-canvas-va-is-being-discontinue. Although I’ve got a Roland Sound Canvas SC-88 Pro on my desktop since like forever, I just bought the VA as well. After all, how would I otherwise be able to listen to my old MIDI junk from the nineties when I’m away from home? A Roland Sound Canvas VA Lifetime Key is still available for purchase at JRR Shop for $69, or $62.10 with code GROUP. https://www.jrrshop.com/roland-sound-canvas-va-plugin-lifetime-key 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dispossessed Orangutan Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I sold my SC-880 a while back, but I still have TTS-1 for a quick GM preview. It is a shame that software has been retired because the developers used time bomb third-party code as a shortcut to development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triangleman Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I've got a friend who was (still is) fanatical about an electric piano patch on the Sound Canvas hardware. He's got probably 3 SC units and they are holding up pretty good. Better than then VA version, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteven Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I still have my MT32 (but haven’t fired it up in probably five years). I’ve always wanted a sound canvas module but couldn’t justify buying one with my current setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
