I like hardware synths too, and have tons of them, but my iPad is an awesome tool, and even if i never updated it's os ever again or got a new app, I have tons of unique granular synths/sample mangling tools on there which are easily (to me) worth the cost of buying the iPad. he can still use those just fine in his setup. Even after almost 30 years my Matrix-1000 and my Juno-106 are still compatible with the rest of my gear, no computer manufacturer can obsolete them.Īpple seems to be especially bad at obsoleting stuff that's barely a few years old.Don't think Apple are saints or anything, but it's not like all the apps dude currently is running on his iPad 2 suddenly stopped working out of nowhere.
#Roland sound canvas ios ipa download software#
If I ever need any "Roland" sounds in any of my tracks, I'll just use my iPad as a sound module, and record it direct into Logic, via iConnectMidi.Īnd that's EXACTLY why I stay away from software synths and stick to hardware. I believe that it's missing some features like Audio Bus, but perhaps they'll be adding such stuff in the future, since this is revision 1. I happen to like the vintage Roland sound, and this app gives you a ton of presets. I've never owned a hardware Sound Canvas, but I did own a Roland MT-32 ages ago, and I'm pretty familiar with the "Roland" sound, as I've owned various Roland hardware in the past. This thing has over 1600 sounds and I found many of them that I went through to be very playable. I've been testing out some presets on it for the past 30 minutes using an external midi keyboard, but I haven't even gotten a fraction of the way yet. Roland has been absent with any synths or sound modules for iOS, but they finally seem to have entered the game and they have released Sound Canvas for iOS.
This just came out tonight, so I picked it up.
