So this is kind of a ropey old plugin (despite the fact they still happily sell it on their site). Anyway it has a tonne of really cool retro sounds - synths, drum machines, all sorts - but when the plugin is in a project, all my shortcuts become unresponsive and when I close Reason it remains in the task manager until I end it. Doesn't happen with any other VST. I know there are better sounds out there but I really like having them all in one place, from the horses mouth as it were; Roland samples of Roland gear ya know. Just wondered if anyone can replicate?

I've been wondering about this plug in for a while now, as I wrote a bunch of GM music in the mid-90's on a Roland Sound Canvas. There's a lot of nostalgia bound up in those SC-55 sounds! Have you tried the plug in with a different DAW to see if it's just something in Reason that's causing the error?

Also, which version are you using, because it seems like there's a really old plugin called "Virtual Sound Canvas" that looks like:


And also a newer one called "Sound Canvas VA" which looks like this:
