This seems like it might be a very useful app to aid musicians in covering songs.

"As the song plays, the app displays keys, chords and finger positions for guitar, keyboard and ukulele in real-time."

And it's free!!

Roland has released a SOUND Canvas app for iPad and iPhone. It's a software synthesizer and Standard MIDI File player.

I don't understand. Should this be an alternative to Sampletank? If so, how could this be, claiming more than 1000 patches and 60 drum kits in (only) less than 40 Megs?

Sampletank is several HUNDREDS of Megs big...

Sampletank is big because it uses big libraries of sound samples. But SOUND Canvas isn't a sample-based synth, as far as I can tell. Instead, it generates its sounds in real time using simulated oscillators, filters, etc.

[Geir]

Actually I think sound canvas uses soundfonts, which as far as I know is samples (although small).
