    It’s awesome that you essentially have some of the sp303 and 404 fx in the computing world, but they don’t seem to be midi mappable in (at least) Ableton. Would love to use some of these in a live performance setting but it isn’t really feasible without midi mapping. Any thought to allowing this Roland? Thanks 🙏🏾

    Oh wow. I love this. Been a Roland fan since D-50 S550. I have a P330 and some MKS sound fonts I’m going to try the chorus of course. If I get my hands on a JD990 I’ll be happy. Glad you guys did the JD800. My future keyboard is the new Fantom. I had an X6 but the new Fantom with Ableton integration is a no brainer. 🔥🔥🔥

    This is great! Some of these fx could be really useful for when I need a good chorus, tremolo, phaser or delay on keyboards or guitar, definitely gonna try it.
    Also, can't wait for that JD-800 Legendary plugin, Hope you get the filters and the DAC's effect on the sound right, so we get something as close to the original as the D-50 plugin was to the hardware.

      I'm not sure any product, hardware of software, comes with what you are asking. Parameters such as feedback on a delay and depth on a chorus are so common that one only needs to conduct the simplest research to understand what they do. If every effect, synthesiser and drum machine came with detailed explanations for each parameter there would be an awful lot of repetition. May I suggest using a search engine such as Google to look for specific queries?

      I'd guess then that the dry/wet knob varies on most. But you can also put FX on a Send track, which also gets you wet/dry balance with the possibility to further process the post effect itself with EQ or whatever you wish (independent of the instrument/audio/drum track whose output it receives), which is what I often do.

      @@RogerBrenon I agree, I'm a little shocked by Roland actually. Zenology Pro Rant.......I see where their going with the vst and it's not a bad idea, however, why would you make a synth vst without any reverb effect? You would be hard pressed to find a vst in the $250 price range without any reverb effect, or without the ability to import your own tones. Making your own synth sounds isn't really appealing either because you can't add reverb to the freakin' sound. I suspect in the future they may add other effects along with wav import then charge extra to upgrade or Zenology pro is simply just meant to be an entry level synth, attempting to entice one to buy their hardware synths. Imo, as far as the giant japenese music companies, when it comes to software Korg is the top dog. Seems like they have a better business model. Yamaha may as well ditch halion and come out with Yamaha branded vst's.

Gotta admit it has a great sound reproduction quality compared to all the other samplers I've tried. I get a lot more exactness out of it when I sample a keyboard. Sampletank, Kontakt and all the rest just don't cut it. Halion has ZERO CPU usage compared to the rest too. It's interface sucks really bad though but once you get used to it you can live with it.

I'm like the only person I know that makes music that is willing to give Halion a chance. I also agree that using samples is Kontakt and Sampletank don't sound as good. What would be really cool of Korg updated their Triton Extreme vst with wav import and the sequencer from the original Triton Extreme. That's like the ultimate Synth hardware re-creation. Sure one could just open a daw and use vst, but sometimes I just like using the stand alone, it gives more of a hardware feel to digital music creation, it feels a little more natural, if that makes sense. For some reason, when it comes to hardware re-creation we tend to get a sequencer with the drum machines but not with the synths.

      ​​@@RogerBrenon After messing with the reverbs on my FA-06, Roland reverb is not so bad afterall. Not a favorite, though, I still prefer Raum, Supermassive, RV500, and Specular Tempus. That "Diffusion" setting really ruins it, and it is at max by default, so turning it down to zero makes a big improvement, then the "Tone" setting can warm it up or brighten it up adequately to get a nicer sound. The depth and overall tone it can have is very nice with Diffusion off.
      Zenbeats has a passable "multi" reverb of its own, I haven't compared it to my FA reverb and MC-707 "Integra Reverb". Should be fun in a moment of boredom.
      2024 Update: the better reverbs I have in other gear and in my PC really make Roland reverbs boring to tolerate. However, I have since discovered that Roland reverbs must be vintage-modeled reverbs. They take after old Lexicon and whatever units, but in much lower fidelity. The Source Audio Ventris reverb pedals sounds just like the reverbs in my Roland gear, but in much higher fidelity. The Ventris is supposed to be modeled after vintage Lexicon and whatever else reverbs.
