Installation without problem on Mac and Pentium, AMD impossible! Totally incompatible!
I even bought the latest version, nothing works!

Runs without problem otherwise. Polyphony and the quality dpendent used directly from the power of the computer.
The manual indicates that how to install, no description of the sound, no midi map, but the names of the sounds are clear and sounds good sorting, organiss logically (standard GM / GS) . We find immediately what you're looking.
(I use a picture of a brochure for the Roland Sound Canvas for a hardware midi map without making the hand).

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

On my Mac Performa 180 MHz 136 MB RAM, the VSC is used as a midifile player, but better a more powerful mac.
On my Pentium 4 512 MB RAM Windows98/XP, little problem. He turns to the choice as a standalone application (midifile player, midi or synth controlled by squenceur) as a VSTi / DXi: intgration perfect with squenceur (Magix Music Studio Deluxe 2003, Logic Fun).

OVERALL OPINION

It has 902 sounds and 26 drum sets, a quality equivalent to an expander gnraliste (correct, but not exceptional).
Compar Sampletank, it is a little pale figure: less practitioner. But it offers a range of electronic sounds that have made Roland's reputable, that does not Sampletank. The two are complmentaires, I'm running all VSC and Plugsound on my config in my arrangements.

The big advantage of Roland sounds is that they immediately s'intgrent a mix. While that sounds more individually ralistes such as those of Plugsound or Sampletank, are more difficult to operate a complete understanding.
The sounds include Roland Idaux to magnify the sound of the orchestra, even and especially if you want to sound "raliste" (this technique is also used heavily in the band mix Hollywood) .

The big advantage of VSC is the impact spciaux and sounds of synths and rhythm boxes s legendary Roland necessary arrangements. Difficult to do without!
In any case, one has for its 80E, but the incompatibility with AMD should be noted on the box ...
