Here is a heads up for Roland Cloud users : I think things have changed, and are slowly making more sense. I remember when it was first announced, I wasn't excited about it, and remember it was very limited, and not well developed, so I forgot to check it out over the past few years, as it matured. Lots of content, expansions, and FX, I think they will add more interesting content. , which I haven't had a chance to check out yet, Anthology Pro. They also have a lot of the classic Drum/Rhythm Machines like the TR-808, TR-909. I have not had a chance to check how good their Juno 60, and Juno 106 are, or the Jupiter 8, and some of the other Legendary synths they have in VSTs.

I also own a Roland System 8 HW Synth, so I can install some of new Plug-Out Synths in it's expansion slots. XV-5080, JV-1080, JD-990 so having them in VST form brings back a lot of memories, and nostalgia. I also used to have the older Roland modules i.e. I'm sure I will spend some quality time with this baby. It has so much variety of sound packed into it, actually It got me more excited than the other classic synths they offer. The Sound Canvas VA offered as part of the Roland Cloud sounds super good, and editing it is a lot more fun. a Sound Canvas SC-88, one of my favorite little Roland GM little boxes, it was very capable sonically, but editing it was not fun. I used to own various Roland gear a while back, i.e. I got the Roland Cloud Ultimate Subscription option, I will try it for one year, then decide if I continue or stop. Roland, Arturia, and Tal have found a nice balance between staying true to the original but not just slapping on some old limitations for the sake of accurate reproduction and all allow voices that exceed the originals if you choose.įor me, It's worth it but it might not be for everyone. One company recently released a highly accurate Juno emulation that is so accurate that it only has the original six voices (kinda stupid if you ask me). I used all this stuff in the 80s so there's quite a bit of nostalgia involved for me although I'm glad they gave a lot of stuff more voices than the original units which makes perfect sense. A Lifetime key for Zenology is worth it in my view because you effectively have a D-50, XV-5080, and a bunch of other cool stuff as well. The Jupiter 8 and Juno 106 have better emulations in my opinion, but the latest Juno 60 is astounding.

I have the full Ultimate Subscription (for 6 months) which I got for free when I purchased a JD800 Lifetime Key for Zenology.
