I always thought the Edirol Hypercanvas was the same as the TTS1 and the sounds were edirol/roland. I used to have the Hypercanvas installed but now use the TTTS1 because it's 64 bit.
now i see the Roland sound canvas VA is available. are the sounds the same as the TTS1?
one's free and one is £59. has anyone compared them?

The Roland VA includes the sound banks from all the hardware sound canvas such as the MT-32, SC-55 and SC-88. Each of the hardware models included unique sounds so if you want a particular sound and that sound is only available in a specific hardware model you're covered. Back in the day MIDI artists use to embed in the MIDI file what hardware they used so if you want to hear the song as the artist heard it then you had to have the exact hardware.
Roland derived the TTS-1 soft synth software from their HyperCanvas soft synth. Cakewalk bought exclusive rights to label and distribute the TTS-1 but Roland stills maintains the rights to the software code. The TTS-1 sound bank is similar to the hardware sound banks but based on a different sample set.
The best way I can think to put it is the two products are similar in function and how they sound but there are minor differences. Some people can tell the difference but most can not. Just as most people can not tell the difference between Roland and Yamaha's soft synth.

I always thought the Edirol Hypercanvas was the same as the TTS1 and the sounds were edirol/roland Having owned a few Roland devices I can assure you the GM sound set is different on each. Each Soundcanvas model, and everything after has differing sounds. My Early SC was different than the RAP-10, which was different than one Roland synth to the next. They have all been pretty good, but none exactly like the other. FWIW, the MS default GM sound set that the WT synth uses is also from Roland, just really compressed, so pretty lo-fi and not updated in years.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

I can confirm what Rharv said that the high end Roland MIDI synths also continue that pattern, although the basic sounds were similar enough that they are pretty easily identifiable as from Roland versus another vendor. I've owned the SD-20, SD-80, Fantom XR, and now Integra-7. Each got better sounds in turn. The Integra-7 added what they call Supernatural sounds, but of course that's not GM, or GM2 (which I still use on occasion).
