I cannot stress enough how close this sounds to an actual SC-55. It is hard to find these days, and for the most part it doesn't work on modern systems, especially any 64-bit operating systems, but all you need from it is the previously mentioned DLL file, and with mudlord's VST driver I have been able to get it working well on both Win 7 and Win 8 64-bit. Search for "EDIROL Virtual Sound Canvas VSTi v1.60" for more info. No plugin bridge will enable to run 32-bit SOUND Canvas VA on 64bit OS and DAW environments.The best option for this that I have found is to use mudlord's VST driver found on his site along with the VSTi plugin (VSC.dll) from the Roland Virtual Sound Canvas Multi Pack (model VSC-MP1) software synth, which is a an old official Roland product which almost perfectly emulates an SC-55.

The actual times may vary depending on your computer’s performance and setup. For example, if you’re using four Sound Canvas VA plug-in instances in a project, it may take approximately one minute to load all the plug-ins when you open the file (four plug-ins at 15 seconds each). The Sound Canvas VA plug-in must initialize its parameters and read various settings when it loads, and this may take about 15 seconds for each plug-in instance.
