Zen Pro is on sale at Plugin Boutique for $114 USD until Feb 15th.

I fired it up today as I haven't revisited it in a long time and was really having a lot of fun with just playing the presets. Mighty tempting at that price.

So what's the deal with this Zenology ipad announcement? I don't see it in the app store. Is that meant to be more or less the full Zenology?

Thank you for sharing. I had an eye on the full version, so this is really tempting now.

It’s not released yet - “Coming Soon”.

I expect it’s more or less the same as the Zenology GX in Galaxias, missing a few features from Pro, and no model expansions, but otherwise it’s more or less the same.

I would like an ACB JX-8P.

And also to be able to purchase a lifetime key for BOSS Pedal Effects.

I'd also like to be able to purchase Zenology FX.

There hasn't been an official announcement for the release of BOSS Effects as LTK's but I have been including this feedback every week and BOSS are well aware of this request, hopefully we'll see some movement on it soon!

And yet we still haven’t. I think it is an absolute disgrace that software pirates are able to own the BOSS Pedal Effects plugin for free, yet I am not even allowed to buy it.

Why Zenology Pro (VST3 Win version) has many automatable VST parameters but only the ones visible on the Basic page (Cutoff, Reso, Attack, Release, Vibrato) react to automation in Cubase Pro 15 ?

What about the rest, e.g. TVA Levels, etc. ?

Is this a feature... or just a huge bug?

thanks!

Don’t they offer perpetual licenses? Iirc they do, you should check!

Not for BOSS Effects Pedals.

I'd call it a huge bug! As you’ve noted; automation for many controls is present. Recording them from the GUI does nothing. If you write automation for them (by switching from the GUI to the Generic Editor) the only ones, which respond, are the basic controls.

Why the hell would you include a whole bunch of automation and then NOT connect it to anything on the plugin?! That’s a question only Roland could answer. The more cynically minded might suggest Roland doesn’t want their software having better control, over their sound engines, than what their hardware can offer.

Whilst more limited, than the automation they’ve left disabled, you CAN right-click controls and assign a MIDI CC to them instead. Perhaps Roland thought having two ways, to automate the same thing, would confuse? But, since this already applies to the basic controls, even that doesn’t really make sense! And disconnecting nearly all of the automation controls would seem like a rather extreme solution!

Thanks for confirming it. We are talking about a VST priced at 300 USD.

Jon at Roland, what is your response for this?

Just bought the D-50 but I can't seem to find any patches

Ok seems they are hidden inside the plugin - only the plugin wasn't accessing them so I had to copy them from inside the plugin into the application folder - now they show - weird!
