I found the whole Roland Cloud, where they send you for SoundCanvas VA so confusing and ambiguous that I just walked away.
Does one need a Roland Cloud membership? For what? Is SoundCanvas included or extra? What are all these other things ... would I need them, want them, get them, or what?
It seems like so many music software companies like to throw random information at us with few explanations. It drives me mad.
I did the same, @Gordon Scott - I'm a music hobbyist, & really not interested in paying for subscriptions. I too, find the whole process vague & quite maddening! This wasn't so dad-blasted complex, 10 years ago.
I'm a video professional, & the same thing has happened with video editing platforms (Avid/Adobe) switching to a subscription model - I find that those subscriptions are "The gift that keeps on giving"!
