- Games
There are 13 games documented on PixelatedArcade
supporting Roland Sound Canvas.
Roland Sound Canvas is part of the category Sound Hardware Supported.
The Roland Sound Canvas is a line of sound modules and sound cards featuring high quality wavetable synthesis. The Sound Canvas is fully compatible with General MIDI and also supported the GS standard which provided additional sounds and features beyond those supported by General MIDI. Some games provided support for the Sound Canvas to take advantage of these features. There were numerous models of the Sound Canvas released; it was available in several form factors including rack mountable units for professional musicians, external sound modules, ISA cards, and daughterboards which would connect to another PC sound card such as the Sound Blaster 16.
Many Sound Canvas devices also included limited Roland MT-32 emulation. The Sound Canvas sounds would be re-mapped to mimic the default MT-32 sounds, however the programmability of the MT-32 was not supported. This resulted in games which didn't utilize custom sounds to sound more or less similar to a real MT-32, however games which programmed the MT-32 for custom sounds would be off.
