The Sound Canvas engine has been widely used as a basis for most of Roland's electronic keyboard products, particularly the Interactive Arranger and Backing Keyboard lineups.

Virtual Sound Canvas
There is also the VSC, Virtual Sound Canvas, range of PC software which provide GM and GS synthesis on Windows PCs. Many versions of Cakewalk's Sonar software came bundled with a copy of VSC, though from Sonar 4 onwards they ship with the improved TTS-1 softsynth, which Roland has sold previously through its Edirol subsidiary as the HyperCanvas.
