I\ve just gotten myself an M2 iPad Pro (the Bigger one) and thought I'd try the free version of Roland Zenbeats after seeing it in your videos, but I wanted to be able to use my other AUV3 plugins, so I only paid $9.99 to unlock that & everything else for that price and I don't regret it at all! Thanks for going in-depth a little into Zenbeats!!
Thanks for your video! What I miss is an option, that I can transfer ZR1 record custom sample kit into a ZC1 Drum kit, because than I can tweak it more in zenology and load that in a hardware like mc101. An other option could be, that Roland open the zenology for own sample import. And yes, I can transfer the samples to the mc101 but for tweaking Sounds it’s faster and with a better overview in the zenology vst plug in for me :)
So I pretty much got Zenbeats figured out, but.... Now I want to purchase the Roland vt4 voice effect ( hardware )..... Using an audio interface how would I be able to record to a midi track inside Zen beats ??.... What would be the routing ?. Again thank you for all your previous help,.. love the videos.
You can have a MIDI and Audio interface connected to the iPad than connect it to the MPC one using cables. You could also connect using a USB cable between the MPC One and the iPad (using the usb adapter for from Apple ) and test it. I don’t have an MPC one, so I cannot test it.
Thanks for posting this. The fact that Roland hasn't posted much about it is concerning, or at the least lazy. Also I've seen there are updates (iOS) but there are no notes on what they did. They just copy and pasted the original description. Again, concerning and/or lazy. For me the current deal breaker is the slicer doesn't work, or at least not consistently. I got it to work once out of the many times I tried. Many times when I hit the edit button the slice button doesn't even appear. On my most recent attempts I tap the edit button, tab the waveform on the pad, and it just disables edit. The edit window doesn't open. I went with the subscription but if they don't fix this before the next billing I'm going to cancel.
I know Thaler are really working hard on fixing all the bugs. I had a weird bug where everything closed. I write to them and they were able to find what was the problem and include in into the next update. All that in a about 3 days.
@@Nu-trix I contacted support and they've been responsive. I'm mainly a Live and Logic user. My attraction to Zenbeats is it being cross platform. I'm not even much of a slice user, but since most plugins aren't cross platform I want to try to work within Zenbeats' ecosystem as much as possible and in that case I think I would use slicing a lot more.
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.
@@Nu-trix If something works out, it will be great. I have already tried both through Atom and in a different way. Does not work. The support service replied that they might do it in the future. Maybe you'll find a way.
I wanted to import a midi file that has multi track midi into zenbeats but it just imports only the first track from the midi file, can you please guide me how to do?
2 quick questions please. Any idea what the polyphony count is on an iPadPro? My Jupiter Xm is 256 notes. Since I have Cloud membership ALL my SDZ packs , 106 currently are available to me? Ok bonus question when I create custom SDZ banks can I import those as well? Thank you! Nia:we kowa (Kahnawake Mohawk)
If you talk about playing Zencore sounds in Zenbeats using ZC1 synth. ZenBeats can run unlimited amount of tracks : only limited by the cpu of the device. I’m guessing you can play more polyphony on an iPad M1 then on the Jupiter xm, but it’s just a guess. And you cannot edit your sounds in the ZC1.
@@Nu-trix outstanding thank you I’m still on original 12.9 iPadPro so tie for new one just waiting to see if they update the Pro this year to an M2 or not :)
There is no synthesizer. There is synthesizer samples. I feel like the entire thing exist to sell you samples. I went over the drums. I couldn't find a drum kit that I want to use. So I guess I have to use different drum kits on different traks. That's eventually ok. I still try to find the usefulness of this app. Can I do anything there i can't do in another program? Or at least is it easier or saving time in any way?
Sorry android? But I deleted it 3 times already. It just keeps stottering like crazy. Completely unusable. I have samsung s9 chip. Maybe a better chip?

i'm so dissapointed with Roland software. i am ROASTING Roland, wherever they put up updates. People, like me, who purchase/love Roland hardware been waiting for something like Overbridge, FOREVER. And what we get instead, is a lame DAW that has ZERO integration with Roland's hardware machines, and lacking BASIC functionality (sidechain, per track midi delay compensation) Roland NEEDS to invest more in software devs and LESS in middle management money men. I DONT WANT an advert for sound packs, every time i launch my drum computer editor and/or DAW. Elektron overbridge is AMAZING, that Roland can't even come close with their "AIRA" line is sad and unbelievable. Elektron doesn't spam us with adverts every time we use their amazing software, Roland! The ONLY reason i don't abandon my Roland hardware for Elektron is TR8S and MC707 are workflow that gels in my head and i'm a fan of this format.
i think youTubers like Nu-Trix are too nice about how this is a front end to sell more content, because it doesn't have anything better than any other DAW other than being cross platform. but Ableton is 100 times better, so i would never use it on my mac or PC.
When these guys switched from stagelight to now rolandzenbeats I seriously roasted them as well cause I spent money on alot of packs and bundles and they switched up without telling their audience so I couldn't sample my already bought sounds I have to re buy them ?

You could use GB for recording or Neon editor by 4pockets, or a multitrack
Very good demonstration, as always. Thanks!
