Hi, I had to get a new laptop and now I'm on win7 instead of XP. I reinstalled BIAB 2008.5 and unfortunately the sound canvas won't install.
Free Synth Vst Plugins. Synth with warm and phat sound. Arracis Gold. Panzertank PM4 is a virtual phase modulation synth very much like the famous FM.
I tried different versions of it and nothing works.The onboard wave table sounds really bad. I do have bandstand but I remember when I had it installed on my XP laptop a couple of years back that I had all kinds of trouble with it and the sound wasn't so incredible and it took a long time to load.My version might not even be compatible with win 7.I think vista is the latest that's listed on the box.
So I'm looking for an alternative. I did a few searches but I have not come up with anything. Autocad 2000 free download for windows 7 64 bit windows 7. Could you guys make a few recommendations? I'm just using the laptop for lessons not any recording and am looking for something fairly simple and basic. #111031 - 04/08/11 08:30 PM [Band-in-a-Box for Windows] Re: alternative to virtual sound canvas in win 7?
Hi gimmeagig, Sounds like you now have a 64-bit operating system. There have been a large number of posts in this forum about how Sound Canvas will only work on 32-bit systems (including Win 7, 32-bit). Here's a some information about it.
Given that you have BIAB version 2008.5, the best solution would be to consider buying Coyote Forte. The link below will give you some information on this.
The current version of BIAB ships with Coyote Wave Table; this functions similarly to Sound Canvas. Unfortunately, my understanding is that the above wave table does not work with 2008.5. (If you dropped PG Music a quick email, they'd soon tell you.) Hope this helps, Noel. Well the wave table sort of uses the stuff in Microsoft wrapped up. Not too bad, not great. Figure out the two products.
I have basically 4 out board synths. Like a Ketron SD2 (sold here). A Roland JV1010 My Roland keyboard.w50 sort of retired. A Yamaha generic thing. And my >New Korg. I almost never use midi anymore, Realtracks.
Check out the all real tracks styles. The some all midi styles. Then listen to the midi demos, and decide where you want to go.
Other alternatives are available, exploring hardware synths, and software synths. The world is an oyster, search for pearls.

Anything else gets problematic very quickly. For that reason, I highly recommend the old Roland TTS-1 that comes with Music Creator 5. At $40.00, I think it's the best 'bang for buck' for a pretty much hassle free synth for BIAB.
For your daw, if money is tight, I recommend the free synths from IK Multimedia (SampleTank), Native Instruments (Kontakt) and Yellow Tools (Independence Free). Registration, downloading and getting them going can be pretty time consuming but the price is certainly right and there's a ton of good sounds there--all easy to use in your daw.
