音は悪くない
無線ヘッドホンだととにかく重い。遅延があるものなのでバッファが足りなくなるんだと思う。Air Podsでも気軽に打ち込みできるようにしてほしいな。
あと、タイムラインの打ち込みメインだと少し面倒。いいやり方があるのかな？
アンドゥがうまく機能しないことがあったり、楽曲のロード時にプラグインの設定がおかしくなるバグがたまに起こるね。なんでだろ。

遅延が高すぎるため、Zenbeats (またはプロオーディオアプリ)でワイヤレスイヤホンを使用することは推奨しない。 最高の音質と低遅延体験のために有線接続を使用すること。
iPad mini5ですと
iPad mini5ですと画面の右側が見切れます。スクロールもできないので設定ができない部分があります。旧機種は非対応でしょうか。

It should be the best DAW, but sometimes it crashes at the worst time.
I’m pretty sure the dev team is small and those guys probably read these comments. Matthew does great work and I realize they had/have their hands full with zenology gx.
I think you should seriously take a look at releasing zc1 and zr1 as individual apps and making Zenbeats a closed ecosystem. In my opinion, get rid of auv3. (This is where most crashes come from in my experience). I would also start porting all the vsts in Roland cloud to Zenbeats devices. I would make sure all aira devices have compatibility and integration.
For example if I connect my p6 to my phone and I’m in Zenbeats, the p6 should automatically show up as a new instrument. The transport controls should just work and the pads shouldn’t be affected by the key lock.
This should happen with all Roland devices. Like a tr-1000 connected to an iPad Pro. It should show up as an instrument with all the sub tracks like a zr1.
How does the sp404 have deep integration with koala but not Zenbeats?
If you guys would ever hire someone that only knows JavaScript I’d love to work with the team. I’ve asked before on FB lbvs. Even as an intern.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We really do appreciate feedback like this. We would love to hear more from you on the issues you are experiencing if you reach out through the link below. https://www.roland.com/cloud/contact-us/
User Interface is Horrible
Out of all the apps that can make music on the iPhone, this user interface is the most cramped and unusable I’ve ever seen. There are constant pop-ups trying to sell a bunch of add-ons and the option to “Never Show Again” is unclickable. All of the buttons are too small. I want to use this app so badly but Roland appears incapable of hiring a UI/UX team that designs for modern devices. This feels like a low-res junk app for the iPhone 4.

バックグラウンドでバッテリーを消費し続ける
バックグラウンド・オーディオをオフに設定していても、バックグラウンドでバッテリーをかなり消費し続ける。他の DAW アプリでは、このようなことはない。学校等で使う iPad に入れる場合、家で充電し、いざ授業で使おうと思ったら、バッテリー切れということが起こるので、悩ましい。
今のところの対処法は、zenbeats のオーディオ設定で、オーディオデバイスが選択されていませんを、毎回オンオフするか、アプリの終了しかない。(大抵し忘れるが)
もう一点、3拍子に設定した時の，ピアノロールの小節の区切り線の位置が4拍子のままなため、とても判別しにくい。
改善の検討をお願いします。

Great app needs added features though
There is a learning curve and although there are other apps on iOS android that are easier to use, Zenbeats still has a lot of potential. Has good sounds out of the box and has expansions you can buy. You can also load your own samples into the drum machine if you have a library of sounds to work with. You can use AUv3 plugins as well so adding your virtual instruments and effects is possible. I think Roland should incorporate the SP 404 Mk ll with Zenbeats (so far only users of the Koala app and Serato Studio have access to that workflow, which is a pity since Roland owns Zenbeats and the SP).

IOS18 small issue
I really like this but since I’ve installed IOS 18 I have to change the default audio device every time I start a new track.
A button to scroll through drum kits right next to button to play first sound is so %#*^ing dumb.
I have hundreds of drum kits. I’m not gonna scroll through them one by one to get to where I want. And it’s in a terrible spot. I like to actually play the pads. Except whenever I do the drum kit changes and ruins my work. Undo doesn’t undo it. And makes me only have one angry thing to say about it when people ask me about it. Rather than all the good stuff about it I actually like.
Please fix. Please.

もう少しで神アプリなんですが
ZR1のgraph automationにfine tuneが欲しいです。
TR1000みたいにサンプルだけでなくシンセも入れて欲しい。そして一音一音いっぱいいじりたい。

Drum sampler
I’ve been using Zenbeats for two years now and I love it. It has so much more potential too, but I really don’t understand why you can’t tone or pitch the different samples on the drum sampler like in koala I can make an option to tone the different samples if I want to, but I can’t do that on Z beats and that would make it force to be reckoned with if you could do more with the drum sampler such as being able to tone each and every sample instead of having to go through and manually pitch them. Like with midi controller!

Hey Kenny! You can manipulate pitch and tone in each sound bank in Drum Sampler. I can’t explain it all here, but please reach out to customer support, and they’ll be happy to show you how! https://www.roland.com/cloud/contact-us/
Really Great Value
Zenbeats is a sometimes overlooked option that has a ton of capabilities for music creation. Being able to write in clips and later transition to timeline recording is nice. For a reasonable price yearly, a full unlock is so worth it. The cross OS platform capability is great. I can use different plugins on my phone and iPad vs on computer is cool.
There are a few small workflow quirks that keep it from 5 stars, but they keep adding stuff to it and I enjoy using it regularly.
I do have a Verselab and wish they would improve the integration with that device. Being able to use the app for deeper controls of FX and settings on hardware would be great.

How do i use this in logic pro
It wont show up in the plugin area were i get stuff like bsi I don’t know what im doing wrong
Googleドライブの対応について
タイトルの通り。iPadとAndroidスマートフォン、タブレットで試したが2025年6月30日現在では保存先をGoogleドライブにしようとするとあちら側に撥ねられてしまう。One Driveでは問題無し。改善できる問題だったら直して欲しい。
使用するプラットフォームでのアンロックを買えば、モバイル環境でスケッチをしてMac/Windowsで仕上げをする事が出来るので便利です。

Not good
Roland makes some great things but all of their software is junk, this included.

Needs an overhaul
This app interface can do better.so confusing
Very promising iPad DAW
I ignored Zenbeats for a while because every time I opened it I was presented with a big clunky interface. Then - I discovered that the UI zoom level was defaulting to 170%. I set it to 100% - and wow, what a difference. This is actually a very usable DAW with tons of great sounds (note that I am a RolandCloud subscriber). My votes for improvement: make ZC1 a full ZenCore synth engine - I feel it's quite simplified currently, unless i'm misunderstanding something. Also - make ZC1 accessible as an AU in other DAWs (i'm primarily using Logic). Overall - i'm excited to have another credible DAW option on iPad!

Suggestion
Really need you guys to come up with your own solution for using the sp 404 mk 2 with ios/android
Waste of time and energy
Doesn’t connect to VERSELAB Mv1 on this iPad mini 2 or my iPhone. Even when not connected, the app crashes when I choose ZC1. Roland fan here but this ain’t it. Wouldn’t have bought the VERSELAB if I’d known
もうひと超え！！挙動が、、、
とにかく挙動がぎこちない。まずまず落ちる。特にピアノロールでの打ち込みが気持ち悪い。音楽制作系アプリ、ライトユーザーですが。選択する基準はPCのDAWに近いGUIや操作感、機能で。この価格で他と比べるとほぼほぼの事を出来るこのソフトが自分として最良の選択でした。が、あまりに操作感にストレスがあるのでなんとももどかしい。UIがどうのというよりとにかく操作上の動きがカクツクとか突然あるボタンやノブが動かないとか。使っているデバイスのスペック不足ってのもあるかもしれませんが。iOSで使えるものであればやはり軽く作っていただきたいところ。PC以外のモバイルデバイスでDAWの様な物を使うメリットに、やはりタッチで操作するアナログ的な気持ち良さが自分としては大切だと思っているので。
そこがとにかく気持ち悪いので、そこさえなんとかなればDAW系としては申し分無いと思ってます。

Good
Performance is not that great on m4 iPad Pro. Editing drum velocities and sample verse stutters the ui Overall it’s good on iPad easy to make beats and tunes but performance could be better.
