thanks for this, I was having a hard time finding actual tutorial makers, I hope you guys prvide us with lots more informaation/tutorials/motivation, thank you for the best free DAW and the only DAW to work on Android tablet (which is why I choose it)
Very timely I just downloaded Zen beats 3.0 recently onto my MacBook pro. I have the first Zen beats on my Alcatel joypad. Programmed some great songs there that need to be transferred onto 3.0. Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you for this last recent update which fix everything that took me away from using zenbeats as my main used daw for over a year , the memory issue or bug which used to take 80% of the memory space even on an empty new project, not giving me enough space for any auv3 sampler or sample player, which i did wrote zenbeats support about the issue over a year ago, and now on this new recent update the memory problem got completely fix, now an empty project starts at 0% of usage like it supposed to be and plus loaded all my old projects that used to take a lot of memory space and which i had the tracks freeze because they were projects that used to make zenbeats memory jump from 80% to 98 % with just a few instances of any sampler auv3, which i had to freeze the tracks to save memory and to help zenbeats from not getting statically once the memory reached 95% of only a few instances of a sampler playing samples, well i unfreeze all those tracks on this new recent update and everything is running perfectly smooth without taking much memory or cpu and without any cracklings. no problems at all when it comes to that issue very efficient on resource 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 also this last new recent update made zenbeats feel back to normal and not like a demo version, because before the new version features advertisement link was every where that i had to pressed on zenbeats but that’s not the case anymore so thank you for that too 🙏🏼 which it now motivate me to buy the new features and get back to fully produce in zenbeats like it used to enjoyed doing before the past updates that took me away from using zenbeats for over a year, again thank you for this new recent update which runs smooth as a brand new car 🙏🏼
Can I use all the SDZ patch sets I have from Cloud in 3.0 now ? 106 of them last I looked . Thanks Crazy idea, any chance of of Mini Fantom like my Jupiter Xm and JD-Xi ? Thanks
Sounds amazing. A few questions. I only want to use my android for the creative process, so how can I get this to be mixed ( are there roland products allowing multiple outputs, as it appears in the video). If so, what is the maximum amount of outputs ? Does the android ( again) version have the ability to receive midi say via a midi keyboard ? Can the audio recording sample down to 12 bits ( I reckon such option will get the attention of boop bap crowd)
How are people claiming that it works on Android. I have a Samsung S9 and with this App it simply shuts down my phone gets very hot and have to restart my phone. Deleted the App again.
Is there any way to record midi note sequences longer than two bars? I can't for the life of me find how to do that. It seems if I try to just record to a track, thats a no can do. It will only record if I create a blank clip to record into however but I cannot find how to make the clip longer than 2 bars. Stretching the sides just loops the 2 bars.
Yes, try adjusting the grid options. So if you’re looking at zenbeats and have your song opened up. Look for the grid icon along the top center of the transport (area with play/stop buttons). Then adjust your launch beat and pattern size to whatever you want. Try new pattern size at maybe 4 or 8 bars. Then it will be set for next patterns that you create. So close/reopen the song and try it on a new pattern. Hope that is helpful. Hit us up with any questions on our dedicated support channel at: www.roland.com/backstage/#/zenbeats-support
@@rolandzenbeats Thank you so much, I had pretty much thrown in the towel on Zenbeats, too much is hidden and not explaind in the documentation. Not being able to adjust the clip size would have been a deal breaker. I use Ableton and Maschine, so I have no need for Zenbeats, but its fun to try and use new set ups. I'll give Zenbeats another go, thanks again!
Why are some of the Zenbeats videos show in normal format like this, and some are in Mobile Phone format, I have disliked the mobile phone formats as they are harder to watch
IDK why but I can't get it to adjust my beats so they are perfect (like yours....getting rid of human error) as mine is not automatically doing that like yours. For the record I'm using my mouse and not a touch screen.
Bonjour. Jolie démonstration de cette application, je crois que j'ai trouvé ce qu'il me fallait pour créer de musique sur Android. C'est quoi ce boîtier Roland-Zenbeats à droite de ta tablette? Merci.👍
I had bought the stargaze loop soundpack (I accidentally bought it not knowing it was a loop pack) And would love to put it some loops in a DRUMKIT and samplerverse, as well as a chopping feature like how you can do in the drum instrument. I was wondering if you guys can make these features possible. And I’m using an iPhone for my ZENBEATS creativity
These are all possible today with Zenbeats. We’d recommend checking out the classes we teach and you can ask questions about how to go about that. www.roland.com/us/roland_cloud_academy/zenbeats/
We do cover drum loop imports here th-cam.com/users/shorts9aEAL1FQw9A?feature=share and here in video 2 & 3 th-cam.com/play/PL2wX8Yxcsx0aFbJ5zvkW1x8xcNOWwEVYl.html SampleVerse you would export a loop and then add it into a new module from audio file.
It is very interesting why it is impossible to record from keyboards built into plug-ins. For example, the same Animoog Z with a cool keyboard and you can't record from it in Zenbeats. I also tried using midi effects (Atom 2). Does not record. And the midi effects themselves break down. In general, the impression is certainly not very good. And it's inconvenient that you can't move the windows. I hope everything will be more convenient and stable in the future.
Seriously? I just downloaded Zenbeats and am about to sign up for Roland Cloud ($29.99/year) because it says this unlocks AUv3 plugin use… but if you can’t record 3rd party instruments, what’s the point? Is this just a bug…. I hope…
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. We have not heard reports of that yet. Please leave a detailed description of the issue in a customer support ticket here: www.roland.com/backstage/#/zenbeats-support
Is this only available for touch screen devices? I hate my DAWs drum sequencer, and this is exactly what I'm looking for. Would love to know if it's a vst, as well. Thanks
When recording audio to a loop in loopbuilder mode, is it possible to set it to stop recording after a certain number of bars? In practice I've found it very difficult to get the clips to sync up correctly when recording a new clip to an existing scene (like you show in the "recording synths" section of this video).
Yes. Tap the grid settings up in the transport. Here set the number of bars you want as a default for Loop Pattern Size (Instrument MIDI tracks) or Launch Beat (ZR1 Drum Samplers). Next tap an empty cell on loopbuilder area for the track you want to record. Here tap the + icon or Add button. Now recording into that blank loop it will be the default size that you set. Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any more questions.
@@rolandzenbeats And that should work for recording audio as well? I can get it to work for MIDI instruments but not audio. The audio just keeps recording until I stop it.
@@rolandzenbeats I got it partly working with recording audio. The critical part I was missing was to click "Add Empty Pattern" so that it adds an empty pattern. Then if I record audio it uses the correct cell length. The only problem is that it continuously loops recording and each take overwrites the previous take. I'd like it to stop recording when it reaches the end of the cell and then just play the recording in a loop.
@@rolandzenbeats I got a bit closer to a solution. I realized that as it's loop recording into the cell, it's not actually overwriting the previous loop. It's creating "regions", similar to takes. So that's really great. What I would love is the option to have it automatically stop recording at the end of the cell and then just play the cell.
There are some limitations in some Android devices. Be sure to check that your device meets our system requirements: www.roland.com/ca/products/rc_zenbeats/specifications/
@rolandzenbeats Hi 👋 Thank you. I believe it is due to the OS not being 64gig. It's a shame Zenbeats does not have a sample player (rompler) as that would suffice. I think it would also benefit massively with a stereo tool to adjust phase issues and allow to shrink or widen a signal, too. A phaser would be applicable as well. But so far, i can produce some good tracks with it. Cheers ✌️
who cares if its the same synth engine as the other stuff if you don't have access to the synths parameters to make your own sounds!!!! Its essentially a glorified preset machine!
Zenbeats sucks on a moto !!!smh made mad beats on iphone and straight also certified for a roland xp 80 since 2000!It crashes on this phone but works great on iphone 7!😢made my first platinum hit in 2000 in college with an xp 80 this software crashes on a new Motorola phone.....

so cool!
I am using Zenbeats on a laptop. Which midi controller works best with Zenbeats or recommended midi controller
I'm using AKAI MPK Mini MK3 with Zenbeats on both Macbook and iPad Pro. Any USB midi controller should work fine.
Sounds amazing. A few questions. I only want to use my android for the creative process, so how can I get this to be mixed ( are there roland products allowing multiple outputs, as it appears in the video). If so, what is the maximum amount of outputs ?

Looking forward to more tutorials and an excuse to upgrade to the paid version
Please add tagging and support for folders/sub folders so we can organize our user sounds. See BeatMaker 3 file system. Thanks!
We'll add that to the feature requests! Thank you and have a great day. :)
Any updates on verselab integration? Where I can follow developments on that topic? Thanks guys!

I use Mini Moog Model D inside Zenbeats as a n AUv3 plugin with no problem.
i cant add + MIDI effect to the new ZR1 drum anymore, even with the Windows unlock V3 offer

You say 'song' but you have created a jingle at best. Can I see measures like a musician would expect to see and expand to a proper song?
What kind of tablet is that?
Hi @JforceG, we used an iPad Pro for this one.
@@rolandzenbeats Did you folks happen to fix the issue with midi input? :P
Is this only available for touch screen devices? I hate my DAWs drum sequencer, and this is exactly what I'm looking for. Would love to know if it's a vst, as well. Thanks
Hey Jon, Zenbeats is available for most iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows devices. Download it today at www.roland.com/us/products/rc_zenbeats/
Oh and forgot to answer your other question. No Zenbeats is not a VST but that is a fun idea. We'll consider that. Thanks
