roland zenbeats pro

Roland released a significant update for Roland Cloud, its collection of authentic Roland software synthesizers and sound libraries. Based on the previously released ZENOLOGY software synth, ZENOLOGY Pro delivers enhanced sound design capabilities with full editing support and access to over 7,000 patches. With Zenbeats 2.0 Ultimate Unlock, Roland’s music creation app becomes part of Roland Cloud membership for the first time. Among many new features and sounds, the updated Zenbeats 2.0 also brings integrated support for the ZC1, a new mobile-ready software synthesizer powered by Roland’s acclaimed ZEN-Core Synthesis System.

The ZENOLOGY Pro Software Synthesizer lets Roland Cloud Pro and Ultimate members harness the full power of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System and dive deep into the world of custom sound design. ZENOLOGY Pro provides the audio quality of ZENOLOGY, expanded with a comprehensive editing interface to craft new sounds.

Users can craft sounds with four partials at once, each with choices of PCM and virtual analog waveforms, rich multimode filters, complex LFOs and more. Step-LFOs have 16 steps of beat-synced automation with 37 curve choices per step, perfect for creating rich textures with evolving motion.

ZENOLOGY Pro offers full tone compatibility with JUPITER-X, FANTOM and other Roland ZEN-Core hardware. It supports the ever-growing collection of Sound Packs, Wave Expansions and Model Expansions available in Roland Cloud.

With Zenbeats 2.0, the latest version of Roland’s music creation app for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows comes to the Roland Cloud platform. Ultimate Unlock access for Zenbeats 2.0 is provided at all membership levels, offering 7 GB of presets, loops and sounds. Like the original release of Zenbeats, the entry-level version of Zenbeats 2.0 remains available as a free app outside of Roland Cloud membership, with access to two paid upgrade levels, including Ultimate Unlock.

Zenbeats 2.0 includes many feature and workflow enhancements for free-flowing music production. The spotlight addition is ZC1, Roland’s first mobile-ready synth powered by the advanced ZEN-Core Synthesis System. Zenbeats 2.0 Ultimate Unlock unleashes the full power of ZC1 with over 800 presets and 90 built-in MFX.

The Roland Zenbeats 2.0 app offers intuitive loop-based track creation and a drum machine designed around the classic Roland “TR-REC” step sequencer in legendary drum machines like the TR-808 and TR-909. Deep touch surface support allows users to control instruments and mixing functions intuitively, and they can transfer projects and beats between phone, tablet and desktop platforms.
