Roland ZENOLOGY PRO

Harness the immense power of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System and immerse yourself in the world of designing unique sounds with ZENOLOGY Pro. You get the amazing sound quality and efficiency of ZENOLOGY, as well as an extensive interface for creating brand new sounds to inspire your music.

Take control.

The ZEN-Core Synthesis System has a variety of parameters that allow you to create big, complex sounds full of dynamic movement. Featuring a clear interface with adjustable size and multiple edit views, ZENOLOGY Pro offers full access to every aspect of ZEN-Core, allowing you to create sounds you've only imagined before.

Dive deep.

ZEN-Core is ultraflexible and based on discrete synth sounds called partials - each of which contains an oscillator, filter, amplifier and dual step LFO. You can use up to four partials simultaneously and choose from thousands of samples, 10 types of modeled filters, and 11 LFO shapes. Combining multiple synthesis types, effects and depth modulation options gives you the ability to build breathtaking sounds from which countless new ideas will emerge.

Get moving.

Low-frequency oscillators add movement to static sounds - and more LFOs mean more modulation options. ZENOLOGY Pro has two LFOs per part with 11 different LFO shapes. With four partials per note, a single patch thus contains eight LFOs simultaneously! And step LFOs feature 16 tempo-synchronized automation steps with 37 curves per step to create long, evolving passages, modular moving textures, and sounds with deep, intricate dynamics.

Branded percussion.

With ZENOLOGY Pro, you have a huge selection of ready-to-use percussion sounds, including Roland's renowned drum machines, natural-sounding drum kits, authentic electronic sounds, and exotic hybrid kits that use different layers and combinations. You can use them directly in your own compositions or combine them in different ways to build your own kits. There are multiple views for editing, giving you ultimate control over every piece in your kit, as well as six special percussion compressors for extra punch and impact.

High Efficiency.

Roland effects processors are as renowned as their legendary instrument counterparts. The stunning Chorus of the JUNO-106 synthesizer and CE-1 pedal, the expansive Delay and unique effects like the SDD-320 Dimension D - these are just a few examples among the 90 ZENOLOGY Pro effects that will give your sounds just the right shape and hue.

The perfect model.

With support for our ever-growing collection of Model Expansions, you can instantly turn ZENOLOGY Pro into a completely different instrument with its own musical personality, features and preset tones. From rare and sought-after classics to models of the future, Model Expansions give you unparalleled access to the entire evolving world of Roland synthesizers.

A whole universe of sounds.

With ZENOLOGY Pro, you have thousands of patches and all the tools you need to create almost any sound from scratch. But at the same time, you have access to an ever-growing collection of Sound Packs as well as Wave Expansions and Model Expansions on Roland Cloud, an extensive palette of starting points for creating brand new sounds and textures.

Go your own way.

With thousands of available sounds and the handy and easy-to-use ZENOLOGY Pro browser, you'll always find exactly what you're looking for. You can filter and organise your sounds, rate your favourites and even create your own banks - whatever your working style, your sounds are always within reach.

A harmonious blend of hardware and software.

ZENOLOGY Pro works in perfect harmony with compatible Roland hardware such as FANTOM, JUPITER-X and RD-88. With ZENOLOGY Pro, you can create your own ZEN-Core tones and use the same sounds in your DAW and hardware instruments. You can even share Model Expansion sounds between ZENOLOGY Pro and JUPITER-X/Xm.
