Sound Canvas for iOS

Software Synthesizer with SMF Player

Sound Canvas for iOS
Utgången

The classic Roland Sound Canvas sound module is reborn as a software synthesizer for iPhone or iPad

Sound Canvas for iOS is a software synthesizer that emulates perfectly the highly popular GS format sound source, along with a built-in SMF* player for playing Standard MIDI Files.

Since the first Roland Sound Canvas, the SC-55, was released in 1991, the series has become tremendously popular among desktop music hobbyists. The expression and versatility of the onboard sounds mean that the series is still used today, especially for the creation and sharing of music data. And now this popular sound source is also available as Sound Canvas for iOS, with over 1,600 sounds, MIDI data playback and the ability to turn your iPhone or iPad into a sound module when you connect an optional MIDI interface like the Roland UM-1.

*SMF: Standard MIDI File. File extension is “.mid”.
