Roland Cloud

They are to busy constantly patching and fixing The Broken RCM App and they can't even get that thing bug free or stable and there is always something wrong with it.

Almost 9 years have passed since the RCM App was released and it is still a horrible mess which is a shame since it is needed for your plugins to work.

Wish they would bring back the good old Roland Content store where you only had to authorize your plugins 1 time and it was good to go.

You should get premium support and a great experience When your company demand premium prices compared to any other vst company.

totally with you, but again it seems there are enough subscribers.

That is true.
I have seen a trend Lately where people get what they want from a P4L Subscription and then drop out after that and most of them are not interested in their plain subscription Model (Only when it is P4L).

I do wish Roland the best and I am happy that they have entered the Plugin arena but the sad truth is that Roland is always almost there instead of doing things properly to begin with.

That is why I compared The Cloud with how they treat Their HW in a earlier post.
They are almost there but something is always missing when it comes to Their SW or HW.

The only thing they Amazed me with and did right after a few years is the MC-101 where they added a Bunch of new features over time + opened up the Synth Engine which gave it the best Support I have seen after a release from them.

I hope the SH-4D will get the same treatment since it hasn't had any significant Updates since it was released and have only received Minor bug fixes and the last firmware update was April last year so that one is one example of almost there

I also wonder why we can't select any of their Effects as lifetime keys from P4L since no one is willing to pay $199 or €199 for a Delay plugin.

Wait, was Sound Canvas usable without RCM?!? Did I make a horrible mistake by not buying it yesterday?!?

i am unsure, so please take this not 100% as fact, but i think i remember that people who bought it will get a download file which need no activation anymore.

I can use the VST2. Since it just installed the plugin where it wanted (and not where I wanted it) I had to copy the folder contents from and to my preferred location on Windows 10.
I have not received a new file. The old one is still showing in RCM.

I think the older Sound Canvas versions were. A trial version can still be downloaded from:

Another early access instrument has dropped:

https://www.rolandcloud.com/news/introd ... arth-piano

Can't try it because I'm not subscribed anymore*, but I'm wondering if it's "just" another multi-gigabyte sampled piano or if it's physical modeling - or something in between.

EDIT: speaking of which, didn't they have some time-limited "Test Drive" offers when you could unlock a product for a few days regardless of your subscription tier? Because that was a good idea and they should bring it back.

From the description it sounds like PM...Roland certainly have a history with Pianos (but I don't need another Piano modelled or sampled, I have that covered 100x over!)

Ooooh, perfect timing! I just sold my Komplete license and I was looking for some pianos

The 2GB download says otherwise. (Unless it's all convolution reverb impulses)

I like it.

It’s not that they can’t fix their code, if Jon with Roland is a reliable source of information. He stated two days ago that these cloud instruments are being updated to address the CPU bug issues, and that it has been a more challenging task than expected. They must see that as something that needs to be fixed, whereas a cosmetic issue that impedes but doesn’t completely break functionality doesn’t deserve fixing. It’s like “do the absolute minimum” is their corporate motto.

Hey ToddlerTN, for what it's worth we are constantly working on bug fixes and working to solve issues daily. That being said, we have limited resources and try and prioritize issues according to their impact as well as their complexity. We look into every issue that is sent through support and want everyone to have a great experience. Unfortunately some fixes can take a while to manifest due to the scale of instruments we have to maintain and the creation of new instruments and plug-ins. Appreciate everyones patience I know it can be frustrating.

Hey Caine123! As of yesterday Sound Canvas is no longer available in Roland Cloud Manager. For those of you who own the lifetime key, either DM me or reach out through customer support and we can assist you further.

[Jon at Roland]

Hey everyone! As been mentioned already, we released a new instrument to Roland Cloud. It's called the EARTH Piano and it's currently available for users with an Ultimate Membership through Ultimate Early Access and will be available for everyone to try very soon. I put a link below with more information. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
