Zenology Software VST is like one massive Umbrella VSTi synth that house all patches for all Roland synths. You need a DAW host that can run VST 3 to use it. Doesn’t operate as a vst2. It’s great. An improving curve for a Roland after a sloppy start into the software VST world. 👍👏👏👏

[@trevor_mounts_music]

Zenology is such a slept on plugin....easily my favorite instrument in the roland cloud other than the 909. Lots of good stuff in there and really easy to find something that works for me.

[@descry1]

Some cool trivia: the SH-101 shown here was the same SH-101 used to dsp model the SH-01A

[@petert7807]

ACB?

[@celsoch]

And the aira s1 I imagine right? Just tested the self oscilator trick on mine, and it blew me away

[@caktalfraktal]

the 101 is my favourite bass sound. I call it the butter bass, because it can sound so smooth. Hopefully the Zencore version can replicate that too. The Behringer clone does for sure but it's for a different market (Hardware vs a daw plugin)

[@lk0707]

Love this guy talking od Roland demos !

[@rolandglobal]

Thanks! :)

[@jumpstar9000]

All these Zencore models on my GAIA 2 sound amazing. It would be awesome if Roland made a few more :-)

[@zebastian21]

Beautiful clean and modern GUI

[@rolandglobal]

Thank you!

[@rolandglobal]

We appreciate you!

[@gabrielegelfofx]

Great add. I own the Ultimate subscription but now there are too many duplicates. All virtual synths models must be integrated in the Zenology container. Also many effects of the previous plugins sound differently in the Zenology container. For example all SRX expansions, JV1080, XV5080, D50 sounds, etc. The Zenology container/database lacks all effects available in the old vsts, chorus and reverbs. Roland, please make less confusion. Probably someone here can confirm that loading a Zenology preset into the Jupiter X the sound has all effects enabled. Probably using only a daw some features aren’t enabled. I suggest Roland to design the perfect midi controller for the Zenology world, a keyboard full of sliders, knobs and buttons without processors, dsps and useless speakers.

'Let's run a sequence with some chords in it', proceeds to run a sequence of arpeggios only ;-))

[@TranceCore3]

6:11 my mans said a "round" Square wave. How on earth do you get a round square?

[@tomax2578]

Juno 60 would be nice or kinda modular zencore synth where I have the osc's from Jupiter with the 101 filter and the system 100 envelope's for example, and I can just build your own Frankenstein Roland synth. I think it should be possible with zencore

[@FattSunny]

It is available now!!!!

[@onkelberra3166]

I get confused by their products and marketing. Roland need to get their company back on track

[@ZozillaThaGreat]

Trying to find this info : are those expansions patches / engines can be used or are availlable as PARTIALS in Zenology pro ? Great video !

[@AlexZelaMusic]

So whats the difference between this and the vst already on Roland Cloud?

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

It's IN Roland Cloud, but you need a Zen-Core Synth (Jupiter X or Fantom) to use it.

[@sonarfreq]

I agree it is confusing. Basically, a few years ago Roland rolled out hardware synths based upon their then new, ACB technology, and then made "plug-out" software synths to go with them, that could be used as a VST in a DAW, or downloaded into the AIRA ACB hardware synths and used there via the synths hardware controls. But now they have developed another technology which they are calling "Zen-Core"... and in the same fashion the "Zenology" software synths (as they call them) can be used as a VST, or they can be downloaded into compatible "Zen-Core" hardware synths and used there also.

[@pepinillosazucarados6743]

THIS IS JUST A MARKETING STRATEGY TO KEEP SELLING ... I PREFER THE PREVIOUS VERSION ON THE ROLAND CLOUD

[@fitagoraz]

@AngleLoss its almost or even better sound here so prefer cpu light saver,all the way..

[@Arperture]

@AngleLoss Zencore additions run way less CPU than the Plug-Out VSTs. Especially the Jupiter 8.

[@diarra-ntyilontyilosavio-g8094]

hello guys where can i place zenology expansion packs after installing zenology

[@SisterRose]

I wish the SH-101 sounds on my MC101 were better, the stock Jupiter sounds are so amazing. I'm trying to edit some with Zenology Pro but having some issues. The fully modelled SH101 definitely sounds better but the MC101 isn't compatible :(

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

What would be useful is for zen hardware to play these models as single instruments instead of being forced to use parts in scene mode.

[@fabiosavino9489]

Can i download in my mc 707 this software?

[@midnightantelopes]

Fantastic! Can't wait for the Juno 106 expansion. Will these models also be coming to the RD88 stage piano hardware?

[@Pm-qp6tb]

Cool❤️

[@rolandglobal]

😎

[@scorpionleader1967]

Is this the same expansion that can be loaded into the fantom 6/7/8? If so, can I load other vst's? Sorry about the noob question.

[@angelesk9382]

Model Expansions work in your DAW via ZENOLOGY-and also enhance compatible Roland ZEN-Core hardware like the JUPITER-X and FANTOM So yeh think so

[@XPJV]

I'll only trust when I'll see a video of the original and VST playing identical tones.

[@jonaschalewmusic549]

"Model Expansion for ZENOLOGY and compatible ZEN-Core hardware" Can this be used with my Roland Fantom 6? Thank you

[@crysstalized]

ACB Cloud version sounds SOOO much better than this Zen version...

[@maccagrabme]

Most people dont need the full power and will like the poly mode.

[@caktalfraktal]

I completely agree. ACB sounds alive and warmer.

[@laszlocsikos189]

Is it available with the 30 day trial period with roland cloud? I just subscribed for this trial period, and I was able to download the zenology, the juno 106 but I dont find how to download the sh101 and all the other expansions to try. Any advice? Thanks.

[@caktalfraktal]

I think ACB sounds a lot better than zencore; but I definitely appreciate my MC-707 and it may not be possible otherwise; or a lot more expensive... so fair enough.

[@caktalfraktal]

@Жан Клон It's just my opinion of how they sound compared to each other. I have both; so I can compare.

[@marcelsmoorenburg]

So you can load these standard and self created patches in ZEN-hardware like the MC-707? Is that function already available?

[@skullhqx]

I’ve got the MC-101 and like to know this too. Did you find out?

[@marcelsmoorenburg]

@@skullhqx I read it's available for Zenology Pro.

[@skullhqx]

@@marcelsmoorenburg It's not really clear what can and can't be done. Do they provide new patches (other than the ones already in the MC's) with the regular Zenology and can you load them into the MC hardware, or do you need the Pro version to do that? I'm not really interested in the VST part of Zenology, rather the ability to load up new sounds into the hardware, and (Pro) the possibility to edit patches un again to load them into the hardware.

[@marcelsmoorenburg]

@@skullhqx I think jou need PRO for that. Where I really have an interested in and hope for is the ability to download Model Expansion patches in my MC's.

[@skullhqx]

Marcel Smoorenburg Regrettably the expansions are €149 a pop. But I have to admit, I own three Boutiques and ‘missed’ a couple that not available anymore. Still think it’s too much.

[@ChristopherOrth]

Roland, some friendly advice here... you need to stop saying things are available for zen core hardware when IT IS NOT actually available. You've been doing that for months. Cut it out, wait til it's actually ready, and then announce it. I've been interested in these, but I swear if one more time you tell me something is ready and it's not and I'll never look at your stuff again. Take your time, do it right, and quit trying to tease something that doesn't exist.

[@BrandonRyan]

Actually, these are what's currently running in the JUPITER-X and Xm

[@The_Essential_Light]

Roland took the information about this off of their website.

[@JL-yh1lm]

Roland Cloud manager mentions this for both the JX-8P and SH-101 model expansion: "Software. Hardware. Anywhere. Model Expansions work in your DAW via ZENOLOGY-and will soon enhance compatible Roland ZEN-Core hardware. So whether you're in the studio, on stage, or on the go, your favorite sounds are ready when you are. " Would be good to have a rough ETA for Fantom.

[@ChristopherOrth]

Looks like if you sign into the cloud thing, you can buy the first two expansions and push them to the hardware. Unit.E did a vid on how this works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWHIXpakgdFpl6c But if Roland actually wants any users to do this, they should act like it and make this info clear! It's like the marketers think we are all already using their cloud service and somehow buying and using everything as it's released. But... I bought hardware to NOT be on their cloud subscription.

[@JL-yh1lm]

@@ChristopherOrth Yes, did that for the sound packs and works well. I'm hoping that the SH-101 and JX-8P model expansions will also be available like that. I don't mind paying a few dollars for those, and agree with you that any form of subscription is a deal breaker when you've already invested in hardware.

[@WARDISWARD]

Hey let's modulate the filter cut off with the lfo set to noise just like on the cloud sh 101 or real sh101 Ohhh yeah , you can't do that since zen-core is not capable of that :)

[@foki_official]

Another year & another copy of stuff from the past that Roland has released several times already. Where's the new synths? That's what people want.

[@onkelberra3166]

Or pure analog rereleses of the old ones.

[@maccagrabme]

I dont think they can do much more to improve on what they have, what's sounds are you missing?

[@WARDISWARD]

Again an inferior emulation compared to the cloud acb model Again a missing feature because the zen core architecture is not able to deliver , namely filter freq modulation by noise The only good thing about the zen core expansions is making people believe they are genuine good emulations Verry sad roland marketing , marketng marketing

[@WARDISWARD]

@Taller de Sonido And you obviously never played an sh101

[@maccagrabme]

Also polyphonic.

[@metalooping6995]

DigIT Gamer get a “live?” 😂😂

[@mikefix]

Wow these Zen emulations are horrible, even compared to the previous Cloud versions. It's like NI Reaktor synths, they all sound like they're coming out of Reaktor, these all sound like they're coming out of Zen. Something is missing compared to the previous cloud versions. I guess this is to be expected from Roland, they always need to muck it up a bit after they get it right.

[@maccagrabme]

I disagree.

[@rolandglobal]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@JalexWROK]

very bad interface. and the most disgusting thing is that you don't even understand it in the review, despite the fact that you have to scale it. small details are always evil. you forget about them, you don't use them, they get tired. sorry for tone.

[@MrGotchacp]

Is it just me because it seems like all y'alls equipment is hard to work with. You almost have to be a flat-out musician to f*** with y'alls equipment. Akai you don't have to be a musician you more or less have to have a great imagination and be able to count measures. I own the MV-8800 and y'alls Dr. series drum machines are epic peices of equipment. The inner city, neighborhood kids, minorities is what's making this hip-hop music and it's R&B music and most of them are not musicians...

[@blvkbeatstv5894]

bruh come on now these instruments are made for musicians. If you make music you're a musician. It doesn't matter if you go to school or not for it. Im black from New Orleans and the best musicians I know came straight out of the hood. Having access to this type of equipment is what pushes people to become better musicians. With this cloud people can have access to thousands of dollars of equipment for a fraction of the price
