No good

This app is no good,, roland company so a big company and this is what put out dare please fix this tin first

No good

Still Low volume with the update no auv3 support, no layering options

A very long customer

Been playing Roland Synthesizers, Keyboards and rack units for over 20 years. The FantomXR I loaded with SRX expansions, however, the display went bad and I am just 1 of many. Anyway, glad to see your SRX software. I need to have the same on this software. It could replace an instrument sometime soon I hope. I agree with the other reviewers basically word for word.

No MC-707 support

As an early adopter of the MC-707, none of the Roland software has supported that machine, even though it uses the Zenology engine. The TR-8s (and 6s) got software control panels and MC-707 got abandoned.

Really can be something special

Roland i really think you got something special here. The big thing please make it AUV3 support . iPadOS is growing into its own OS Platform i believe you guys have a major head start with this one. Other synths like Spectrasoincs Omnisphere, Yamaha synths, haven’t took full advantage of the iPad and iPad Pro processors by the time they developed Apps for them think this synth app will be hard to beat. I will surly buy it when it becomes available at its purchase price. Please just don’t stop at the ZENOLOGY GX Synthesizer make more AUV3 compatible synthesizers. This is why i said at the title this can really be something special .
