Edirol Sd-90 — Soundfont

Report on the Roland EDIROL SD-90 Sound Canvas & USB Audio/MIDI Interface

  1. Roland Cloud SRX Orchestra – Contains the exact string and brass presets from the SD-90 expansion.
  2. SampleScience "Edison" – A Kontakt library inspired by Edirol/Roland romplers (pay-what-you-want).
  3. TAL Sampler – Load any GM soundfont (even a generic one) and use its "DAC" emulation (12-24-bit modes) to fake the SD-90’s vintage conversion.
  4. UVI Soundbank "Syntronik" – Includes sampled Roland D-50 and JD-800 waveforms, which overlap with SD-90’s analog-modeling presets.

Before diving into the SD-90's features, let's briefly explain what a soundfont is. A soundfont is a type of sample-based synthesizer that uses a collection of audio samples (usually in the WAV or AIFF format) to create sounds. These samples are then mapped across the keyboard and can be manipulated using various parameters such as pitch, volume, and filter cutoff. Soundfonts are often used in music production, live performances, and sound design applications.

SD-50 Sound Module

If you find that Soundfonts aren't capturing the "feel" of the hardware (such as the specific reverb and chorus effects), Roland released the as part of their Roland Cloud subscription. While it's a newer model, it contains many of the core SD-90 samples and offers much better stability and integration than a third-party Soundfont. Tips for Realistic Playback edirol sd-90 soundfont
