Does anyone know what was the latest version of SC-VA ever released? No matter how hard I searched on the internet the farthest version I could find was 1.16 released in January of 2020

So this is a solution for those who own the program, and were able to download the latest version while it was around, right?

There are 32 and 64 bit versions of this dll, and i'm not sure which versions have which SCCore.dll files. i know that last 32 bit version i found has a different size than expected by this.

just tested with right in the night. tvf doesn't seem to be included.

TVF is supposed to be handled. I know this whole thing needs more work.

For clarity, it needs the 2020 version, 64 bit build. I will try to see if I can also swing MAME ROM sets for the data, assuming MAME even has dumps of the SC-8820 to go with their existing dumps of the 88 and 88 Pro.

Awesome work. I have a fork created and I have started a C language port in the works. I found a few bugs and inaccuracies along the way that I will PR soon. My goal is to get it bare metal compatible for the MT32Pi.

I will link my test midi file.

https://gifx.co/music/MIDI%2FJam%20%26%20Spoo … The%20Night.mid

the reverse cymbal should do three wooshes each time, and there is a filter sweep that goes back and forth near the end of the file.

This midi should be compared against Sound Canvas VA itself.

Kim Burgaard has made quite a few GS techno midis which also make good test cases for this.

mame does not seem to have the sc8820 roms yet.

so this means the sound canvas VA is truly made with the 8820 samples? that's actually pretty cool.

There are two other commonly available versions of sccore.dll
1) 1.0.3 32 bit
2) 1.1.2 64 bit

and the'r also the window strial

Which is still available.

it's possible to extract the SCCore without installing.

The trial comes with both 32 and 64 bit versions of the sccore.

install univeresal extractor 2 https://github.com/Bioruebe/UniExtract2

give the single exe the command.

SOUND_Canvas_VA_Installer.exe /extract_all:c:\directory

thsi wil convert it do a normal split file, with the setup adn installshield cab files.

you may then run universal extractor 2 on the data2.cab file.

this will extract everythign into a new data2 subdirectory, with both

SoundCanvas64

and

SoundCanvas32

directories. you then have the SCCore.dll files, without breaking any drm to find them.

I dunno if kode54 can make use of trial version sccore.dll files, and if so, if they are actually willing to extract the sample data from them. If the intent it to only support purchased versions, i have no quarrel with that stance, even though the product can no longer be purchased.

I am confident that the 32 bit 1.0.3 and 64 bit 1.1.2 found in common portable versions can found in some archive somewhere on the internet.

As i said, the trial still exists on rolands servers, and i was able to find the url by inspecting a webpage on in.roland.com (the indian roland site)

mac trial is

https://cdn.roland.com/assets/media/zip/scva_mac_trial.zip, btw. dunno how to extract from it, but presumably the trials install fine.
