Zenology Pro vs Fantom-0....your thoughts?

[Nuimani808]

I bought the Fantom 0 and it was all the way worth it!

Thanks....but right now....my focus is on just getting the Pro version. So as for model-expansions, I would rather buy lower cost emulations from other developers(TAL, leaps to mind)...as their "Juno-106' emulation called TAL-U-NO-LX, is supposed to be pretty accurate. TAL also has a Jupiter-8 emulation as well.

TAL-U-NO-LX is a Juno 60, and not available on Zenology Pro
Juno 60 and 106 have different taste

None of the Roland Zenology/Zencore expansions sound as good as the Roland ACB versions in hardware or software or other companies emulations either. So it doesn't matter much

They are a compromise to enable more polyphony on the same custom Roland BCM chips that run the hardware synths. The Zenology Pro software (and the other cloud instruments) actually sit on top of a BCM emulator so they can easily use the same basic code between the hardware and the software.

They sound way better since Roland introduce free run OSC on the Zencore

Jupiter 8. I don't know if they fix the Cross Mod
Juno 106 and JP-8X are pretty close to the original hardware

I believe Softube have probably the best modeling Juno 106 and SH-101
