Critic Reviews

Edirol SD90

soundonsound.com

The Roland EDIROL SD-90 Studio Canvas showcases a clever all-in-one design, offering a robust mix of MIDI and audio capabilities. However, it suffers from high latency issues and lacks support for newer operating systems, making it less appealing for modern users. While its sound library includes some memorable tones, many sounds feel outdated and generic. At a steep price point, the SD-90 struggles to justify its cost against more competitive options in today’s market. Great concept, but ultimately disappointing in execution.

I didn't realize how convenient it would end up being

I stumbled upon this unit at a competitive price on ebay and I didn't yet have a GS midi module, so I went ahead and bought it. It's too hi-fi to be compared to the sound canvases series but it handles midi playback well, CCs too!

Thanks to all its connectivity options: usb 2.0 (24-bit audio & midi), two midi pairs, digital interface (S/PDIF or ADAT), analog interface (rca on the rear side or mono 1/4" on the front side), it's very convenient!

Normally, Windows 11 won't let the driver from roland's site install but if you edit the file and disable the driver signature enforcement, you too, can enjoy all the features of the EDIROL SD-90.
