The Roland Cloud Connect app lets you explore tones on your JUPITER-X, JUPITER-Xm, JUNO-X, GAIA 2, GO:KEYS 3, GO:KEYS 3 IN or GO:KEYS 5 using the Roland WC-1 Wireless Adapter. Or you can install Instrument Expansions on the Wi-Fi-equipped V-Drums V71, V51 or V31. The app also lets you subscribe to Roland Cloud's premium memberships and install additional Model Expansions, Sound Packs, Wave Expansions, World Expansions, Instrument Expansions, and Kit Packs to these products.
With the Roland Cloud Connect app, you can search, preview, and load tones from the thousands of sounds on Roland Cloud into your JUPITER-X, JUPITER-Xm, JUNO-X, GAIA 2, GO:KEYS 3, GO:KEYS 3 IN, or GO:KEYS 5. You can even browse and load additional Style Packs for the GO:KEYS 3 and 5 models, and Drum Kits for the V-Drums V71, V51 and V31.
To use this app, you will need a WC-1 Wireless Adapter with a compatible instrument model (i.e., JUPITER-X, JUPITER-Xm, JUNO-X, GAIA 2, GO:KEYS 3, GO:KEYS 3 IN, or GO:KEYS 5). If you use V-Drums V71, V51 or V31, you do not need a WC-1 as it has built-in Wi-Fi capability. You will also need a registered Roland Account and an internet connection.

I don’t seem to be able to update my previous March 2022 review (4 out of 5 stars), so I’m going to add this. Recent updates have taken it beyond a “promising start” and to a mature, 5 star app and service. Glad to see it expanding to the JUNO-X crowd, who will find it an excellent deal and tool. This (with WC-1) is an essential addition to anyone with a JUPITER X or Xm, or the new JUNO.

When will Fantom/Fantom 0 get support?
JBChristian
I find it strange that this works with the new low-end Go:Keys keyboards but STILL doesn’t work with the flagship Fantom Workstations! I think Roland has its priorities out of whack. I’m sitting here, ready to spend the money for the wireless dongle that works with this app, as soon as they get it working with the Fantom, but nope. I don’t get what they are thinking.

Thank you so much for giving us feedback. We greatly appreciate it. I'll make a note of it for you and pass it along.
Needs Landscape View
Monster_Mouse
Lack of a landscape view is a stunning omission. I mount my iPad to my rig running a DAW or other related programs. This is the only app that requires fiddling with the rig so I can rotate the iPad to use this app. I would expect basic attention to usability from Roland. Read the room.
