The Virtual Sound Canvas from Roland, one of the world's biggest names in music technology, gives you stunning, realistic MIDI playback, without using any special hardware. This means you'll hear a huge improvement in your music, multimedia software and games without having to invest in a new soundcard. It has over 900 sounds to give you silky strings, brassy horns and classic synths, as well as 26 drum-kits. You can add effects to your music such as reverb and chorus, to get your sound just the way you like it.
Using the Virtual Sound Canvas also gives you the ability to record MIDI files as audio (.WAV Windows files and .AIFF Mac files) for later listening, editing or to burn to a CD.
