Yes, it works with any midi input. I use a small software called loopMIDI to rout all midi playback to an input which I use in my DAW (Sonar) with the Sound Canvas. I have the old Edirol Virtual Sound Canvas and the newer Editrol HyperCanvas, but none of them comes remotely close to the the new Roland Sound Canvas VA in terms of balance, accuracy and authenticity.

It took Roland a long time to make a proper software of sound canvas but it finally happened. I'm still testing it, and found a few bugs here and there, but I'm sure Roland will iron them out in time. Does this thing read SysEx messages and SysEx files properly? I've seen a lot of VST plugins which have no idea how to read such things either making existing MIDIs useless or rendering an entire patch library useless as examples. Don't believe the latter applies to the SoundCanvas, can't remember as I got shot of mine years back and have no plans to use this plugin, I'm just curious and more info is always better.

Also, what the heck is a DAW? English conversations all occasions pdf writer. People keep saying that and I'm starting to think my terminology must be out of date or something.

Probably is, given I don't use a single VST* and I still rely on software from two decades ago to get things done. * Technically this is not true as I use Virtual CZ to make programming my Casio easier. This does understand SysEx messages fairly well, but has no feature to make the keyboard dump its patch bank which is mildly irritating as I have to switch back to CZLIB to do this. It is, however, the only VST I ever use and even then I rarely use it, never use it to its full extent and do not have anything beyond its own dedicated host to load it in. Credit where credit is due then, finally it seems people are starting to get on the ball with this. It's only taken, what? TOO DAMN LONG!
