Ratings and Reviews
Good free app
Love that Roland is venturing into the IOS world, some good sounds in here, as I’m not a huge beat maker I was looking for Roland sounds I could use in my host for live gigging. I hope Roland give the app capability to run as an AUV3 sound engine is I can use Roland sounds in other apps, or even better bring Roland cloud to IOS, I’d definitely subscribe, interested in Zenology on my IPad Pro if that ever happens 🙏
Really Good free app In app purchase did not work as it should
As a free app there is a ton of good stuff here but the in-app purchase is meant to increase included instruments from 8 to 23. Mine stayed at 8. Tryed rebooting , deleting and reinstalling, installing on another ipad but still only had 8 instruments. I did get the extra sample content. Also the listed price for the in-app purchase is shown as $14.99 but I was charged $AU 22.50. Listed price must be $us price I guess.
This is a good ios tool to have but with just a bit more work it could be even better. Given the huge amount of work they put into this some of the oversights are puzzling. The piano keyboard is 3 octaves which even on the largest ipad pro the keys are too small. There should be an option to reduce the keyboard to say 1 1/2 or 2 octaves. There are other options - a drum pad style keyboard with each square labelled with the note name but its one note short of a full octave (why?)
There is no manual. I had high hopes for the sampler but could not find a manual and could not find a way to assign more than one sample across the whole key board. Also the sample had a slightly harder edged tonality than the original even when played at the same pitch as the original.
How do you delete a note?
2 points for trying to make an iPad app but somehow the team missed the all important delete button. There is no easy way to find out how to delete a note. Such a common task should be easy to find and yet there was no eraser in the limited toolbar and after several minutes of poking around and not being able to find a way to delete notes I just deleted the app.
