How to resolve AdBlock issue? Roland ZENOLOGY Pro v2
Synthesizers are in just about every style of modern music, so you need something versatile, authentic, and forward-thinking. ZENOLOGY embodies over 50 years of synthesizer research and development. Its roots go back to the dawn of synthesis. Its future will reshape your relationship with sound.
For decades, Roland sounds have had a massive influence on music. Our legendary instruments have defined genres like techno, house, rap, trap, and hip hop, and deeply influenced pop, rock, and film music. This long legacy has culminated in the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. It's the most advanced sound engine we've ever made, powering our professional synthesizers like JUPITER-X and FANTOM, used on stages and in studios around the world.
ZENOLOGY Pro is an expandable plug-in version of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. ZEN-Core is based on discrete synth voices - each containing a flexible oscillator, filter, amplifier, dual LFOs, and effects. It mixes multiple synthesis types, combining vintage Roland oscillators and filters with PCM waves capable of sync and cross modulation. Layer up to four voices in a single tone for rich, complex sounds, both classic and modern.
Roland effects processors are as revered as their legendary instrument counterparts. Spacious reverbs and delays, sweeping JUNO-106 and CE-1 choruses, and unique effects like the SDD-320 Dimension D and DJ-FX Looper are just some of ZENOLOGY Pro's over 90 effects that can shape and color your sound.
ZENOLOGY Pro comes with thousands of patches, hundreds of drum kits, and all the tools you need to create nearly any sound from scratch. And you can go even further with the ever-expanding, always-evolving universe of creative options on Roland Cloud. Driven by the powerful ZEN-Core Synthesis System, a steady stream of new sounds and expansions focus on specific genres and instrument types or feature custom collections from leading artists.
ZENOLOGY Pro's friendly and informative browser helps you find exactly what you're looking for. Filter and organize your sounds, rate favorites, and even create custom banks. No matter how you work, your sounds are never far away.
From rare and sought-after classics to the designs of tomorrow, our growing collection of Model Expansions can instantly transform ZENOLOGY Pro into entirely different instruments, like the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, SH-101, JX-8P, and JD-800. Using advanced modeling techniques to capture the essence of our legendary instruments, every Model Expansion has its own sonic personality, features, and preset tones. And they're optimized for high polyphony with interfaces inspired by the original hardware - but reimagined for your DAW.
ZENOLOGY Pro lets you harness the full power of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System on your computer. With the expansive interface and vast array of parameters, you can tweak existing sounds or craft all-new sounds that inspire your music.
ZEN-Core is ultra-flexible and based on discrete synth voices called partials - each containing an oscillator, filter, amplifier, and dual LFOs. You can use up to four partials simultaneously, choosing from thousands of waveforms, ten modeled filter types, and more. Combining multiple synthesis types, lush effects, and deep modulation capabilities, you're able to develop big, complex sounds that demand attention.
Low-frequency oscillators add movement to static sounds - and more LFOs mean more modulation possibilities. ZENOLOGY Pro has two LFOs per partial with 11 different LFO shapes. With four partials per tone, that's eight simultaneous LFOs in a patch! And the Step LFOs have 16 steps of beat-synced automation with 37 curve choices per step, perfect for creating evolving passages, modular-style animated textures, and sounds with deeply intricate motion.
ZENOLOGY Pro has a huge selection of drum sounds and hundreds of ready-to-go kits, including famous Roland rhythm machines, natural acoustic kits, authentic electronic sounds, and exotic hybrid kits that use layers and combinations. Use them in your tracks as is, or mix and match to build dreamy custom kits. You get multiple edit views for precise control over each drum instrument, plus six dedicated drum compressors for maximum punch and impact.
ZENOLOGY Pro works seamlessly with compatible Roland hardware like FANTOM, JUPITER-X, JUNO-X, and the RD-88. Use the same sounds in your DAW and hardware instruments, create custom banks, share with friends and collaborators, and tap into fresh inspiration with sounds from top artists and professional sound designers. You can even share Model Expansion sounds between ZENOLOGY Pro and compatible ZEN-Core hardware.
