Starts out like the theme tune for something unwatchable starring David Soul and his wife Mary Lou Retton who may be confined to a wheelchair but gets to make us teary every week over the true goodness of American suburban life. At 1.03 they move to a gated community outside of New Orleans and watch re-runs of Mardi Gras on late night local television hosted by a Reverend (Henry Rollins) who may or may not have The Touch and may or may not heal Mary Lou. Stay tuned.
Are you saying that it sounds cheesy?!! But if you just focus on the sounds, rather than what they have done with them (which I guess is meant to appeal to the popular masses), then it doesn't sound at all bad. I am hoping for a NAMM related release, which will mean it may be available later this week! Be great for 90's TV themes...
The latest SoundCanvas clip reminds me so much of the amazing Final Fantasy series I used to play (and still sometimes do). Most of the FinalFantasy soundtracks were in fact composed using SoundCanvas and for me it will be instal-buy no questions about it...

Of course SR16 is a drum machine and its hey day that was THE drum machine. My point was to reference the 303. Alesis was around well before iOS and all that and they do some cool stuff as well. Not just cheesy apps
For me, I don't care whether an app has Audiobus or IAA. Then again Logic Pro is my choice of DAWs.
BTW a lot of folk choose apps based on demos. I don't. For me, It's always been how you use the sounds. I don't like sounding like a million other musicians. Go your own way I say.
@JGY... spot on with the TV spoiler... I don't need to watch it now.
That sound demo is quite something...
Great video and sounds. The Blues guitar thing says Easy Minus One. Looks like they'll have entire tunes available.

Funny, the first thing I thought of when I saw this is that it would be perfect for anyone trying to capture the sound of mid to late 90's videogame music.
Any word heard on the date for this to drop yet?
and then they heard the crickets.(without Buddy Holly of course)
Some information about the app appears in the roland japan site, all the features and the specs, some images, but no info on a release date
http://www.roland.co.jp/products/sound_canvas_for_ios/features
I am slightly worried that all the info seems to be coming from / targeted at the Japanese market, they wouldn't just launch this in Japan, would they?
It was the fave SMF player back in the 90s. And it sounds exactly the same. Personally, I don't think the sounds are old enough warrant a rebranding as "classic". They're still as cheesy as a mature Brie that you left on the counter while you went on holiday, discovering on your return that you could smell it 50 yards from your house. However, that Blues guitar is pretty good...
The system requirements seem to be pretty steep considering that the base software is from 'long time ago'. I used to run the Virtual SoundCanvas (which was based on SC-55) on a PowerMac G3 266Mz with 8MB's or Ram and got full 32-Voice polyphony with effects...
My iPad Mini (1st Gen) still runs most of the stuff i throw at it at satisfactory speeds (Depends a lot on personal workflow).
Even if i will probably get low polyphony it will still be enough to record sounds/loops into AudioShare and later paste them into DAWs/Beatboxes for arrangement.
Now, where is that Yamaha SW1000XG in software with all the PLG-Boards included
As I said in at least one other thread, where is anything ios coming out of NAMM? Other than that cheesy Casio app there really ain't nothin but a very few sales . I am looking at Korg module for half off and maybe Auria half off or perhaps flux fx. What ever happened to NAMM announcements.
iOS 8.1.2 only
WUT?

So you say "sounds that actually matter" and then say that sound is subjective in the same sentence. That's a contradiction.

I wish somebody would port Steinberg's Hypersonic 2. One of the best apps i've ever owned and I still use it. Somebody hacked it to work without the dongle and in 64bit. It's end of life stuff so no warez involved. (it's life ended a LONG time ago).
Makes this Roland stuff sound like garbage. (notes: I use a BK-7m everyday, so i'm no Roland hater)
Of course with Apple's policies you can't just port someone else property. But Steinberg could do it.

I wouldn't worry, Roland's Japanese site is often first to have any specific and/or technical information.
Well I now have no money left for Roland oops. Namm is almost over and I picked up module and Flux fx.. Both are excellent so no worries. I waited to see but not going to be released at Namm anyway it looks like.
According to the FAQ at Roland there will be no IAA nor AudioBus support, what a bummer...
http://www.roland.com/products/sound_canvas_for_ios/support/
This is a joke?
Eh? What is the point then!
Bwhaha. Okay, ACP then? How about background audio? Does it at least work off the battery or do you need to have your iPad plugged in?
Considerably less interested with that news.
Forget retro, more like retrograde!
Sorry guys that do iOS only productions but I will insta buy this. A new sound module for my studio
No contradiction. Know sound. I was referring to comments made about this app being cheesy and all that. It's what you make of your sounds, not what some video has portrayed as the cool factor. Content and imagination.
Still we know nothing about the price...
And who knows, if we complain loudly enough maybe Roland will listen and add IAA and AudioBus support
