It took my time over deciding to get this, But I'm glad that I did in the end.
Initial pricing put me off, but patience has paid off in waiting for a Deal.
I LOVE the Roland synth sounds. I have three hardware Rolands and many plugins.
Zenology Pro really does retain those Rich tones that Roland is famous for.
The capacity for editing is total and the default preset library is massive.
Well done Roland.

I bought this last year from Roland for a considerable higher sales-price. However, I hardly ever use it because of the GUI. Unreadable print, far too dark theme and a user-unfriendly clumsy browser. Other plugins of Roland have no issues for me theme-wise, but the browsers are off-putting too.
Bought during a promotion and therefore with a very good value for money! Good nostalgic sounds from the 90s but usable for current music!.
It's as slick and characterful as I hoped it would be.
Very rich sounds, just like I remember.

It sounds very well. I remember the automatic accompaniment of the electronic organs that I knew when I was a kid.

Excellent bundle !! I was waiting for the JD-800 to have a sale and when I saw it bundled with the other 3 synths and additionally with a cheaper price, I didn't hesitate to buy it. I've only played some presets of the 4 synths, but I'm impressed with the quality of all of them. I feel they have a lot of potential to create all kinds of sounds, each one in their own way and with excellent results.

As the owner of the hardware version of 'System 1', the software version is a logical continuation. Especially since the controls are 100% compatible and correctly assigned. This gives me as many 'System 1' units as my DAW can support. But in addition, the pack included System 8, which I unfortunately don't have. These replicas are 100% faithful to the originals.
As for the D50, having the D05 also gives me the opportunity to take my D05 everywhere. I wasn't particularly interested in the JD880, but it's still an interesting machine.
All in all, this pack offers Roland's interesting and realistic digital machines, and since I already have the XV5080, my pack is now complete. In short, these are very successful replicas.
Unfortunately, there are some minor bugs in the patch saves for the System 8. For the System 1, everything seems to work perfectly.

Back in the early 80s I actually owned a Roland JC-120 amp and would lug to gigs. It was an innovation when it appeared in 1975 with its built in Chorus. It was hugely popular with people wanting a big, very clean sound. Mine had two 12" speakers and it was very heavy. Nobody misses its weight of course, so now I have the JC-120 amp model plugin, which gets the sounds and weighs nothing.
