Sound Canvas works fine as a general midi synth in Reaper. I'm also guessing that they work on Windows 32-bit since the old Sound Canvas that came with BIAB used to work fine for me on Vista 32-bit.

Noel,

Perhaps so but I don't remember reading a post where anyone stated they purchased the Sound Canvas VA and used it with Band-in-a-Box or RealBand. Roland's Sound Canvas VA webpage is filled with performance disclaimers. Here is a quote about using a bit bridge: "No plugin bridge will enable to run 32bit SOUND Canvas VA on 64bit OS/DAW environment."

Roland has verified proper operation with Cubase 7 and Cubase 8. Roland has verified issues with Sonar, Ableton Live, Digital Performer, GarageBand, Logic and Studio One.

Here's Roland's quotes regarding why there is a trial version: "A trial version of SOUND Canvas VA is available. Use this trial to verify how the plug-in operates in your setup before purchasing it.", "For questions regarding your host application, please contact the vendor of your application." and the ever popular "We do not confirm compatible with SOUND Canvas VA other than that above the DAW software." I do not take those quotes as robust support, more like purchase at your own risk.
