Second comingSound Canvas for iOS was released in early 2015 and now a similar offering is available to Mac and PC users in the form of Sound Canvas VA (VST/AU). To this day, those primitive GM sounds remain popular in some circles - particularly in Japan - perhaps for reasons of nostalgia. However, in the grand scheme of Roland instruments, its tones weren't particularly special - certainly paling in comparison to those of the later JV/XV series.Nevertheless, Sound Canvas sounds were pretty ubiquitous for a period in the 1990s and featured heavily in many a videogame soundtrack. GM was a big deal at the time, as it meant a GM-compatible MIDI file could play back on any GM-compatible synth and automatically trigger appropriate timbres - your trumpet would always be a trumpet, for example, even if its exact sound varied from synth to synth.The SC-55 was also the first unit to support Roland's own General Standard - GS for short - which was an extension of the original GM spec, defining more instruments and controllers.As you might expect, the Sound Canvas series was popular. The original sound module in Roland's hardware Sound Canvas series was the SC-55, released in 1991 and sporting a broad palette of sample-based instrumental tones aiming to cover as much sonic ground as possible.Back then, MIDI was still a relatively new development, and the SC-55 was the first unit to adhere to the new General MIDI (GM) standard.
