This review is from: Edirol VSC-MP1 Virtual Sound Canvas Multi Pack (Electronics)
There are a lot of MIDI software (plug in) synthesizers on the market today, some with very hefty price tags on them and most being designed to operate in conjunction with a host sequencing program. Roland (Edirol) have offered a Virtual Sound Canvas software synth since the 80's with this unit being the latest and lowest priced offering. For any person who uses MIDI to play or record standard MIDI files, this unit is essential. It can be used with vst, dxi or it can stand alone and play all of the MIDI files you have in your computer or sequencer. This software comes complete with a truckload of MIDI files (songs), ready to play. The sounds are plentiful, generally good sounding, (drums leave a little to be desired)and boast of 128 voice polyphony. But, the most notable thing about this program is that it is easy to use and is dirt cheap at 40-50 bucks or so. This is one of the most useful and cheap products that Roland (Edirol) has ever offered and is the very cheapest good sounding plug in on the market. This is also the only stand alone software module that I know of. Cool, cool, cool.
