The Roland-ED SC-8820 is a General MIDI 2 and Roland GS synthesizer in the Sound Canvas series, released by Roland in 1999, alongside the more powerful SC-8850. The SC-8820 is essentially a simplified SC-8850, designed to be mostly compatible with it, but with less waveforms (so not sounding identical), half the number of parts, half the maximum polyphony, and no display or panel controls. Like the SC-8850, it is an upgrade relative to the Roland SC-88 Pro, though as it lacks a display or controls, it is perhaps better compared to the SC-88ST Pro.
The Roland-ED SC-D70, released in 2000, improves on the SC-8820 by adding digital audio and USB audio interface features.
Roland Sound Canvas VA, released in 2015, is a VST instrument based on the SC-8820. This version was first released standalone, then included with the Roland Cloud subscription service. This iteration is further limited to only 16 parts. This was discontinued on the 1st of September 2024, where it was officially no longer available for purchase.
