Roland has updated the Roland Cloud "Super Instrument" Galaxias to v1.3, introducing new foundational features, including Scene View, the new Chords sequencer, and the experimental Galaxias Labs.
Scene View
Get a fully immersive, top-down view of your Galaxias Scenes. Optimized for speed and comfort, the new Scene View lets you see and tweak vital controls from multiple layers at once.
With custom graphics, control groups, and new control types, you can immerse yourself in a single view designed specifically to shape and manipulate the current Scene or Scene Pack.
Chords
Chords, our new galaxias sequencer, brings an immensely creative force to fuel your creative workflow. With Chords, you can design, trigger, and sequence up to 12 chord presets, complete with customizable articulations and more.
Galaxias Labs - Coming Soon
As Galaxias evolves at an ever-rapid pace, we'll give curious users the ability to enable new experimental features via Galaxias Labs. The Labs option will appear in Galaxias settings as soon as we launch our first experiment, so if you don't see it, just sit tight and stay tuned.

Galaxias was developed with the support of the Roland Future Design Lab.
When Roland and Universal Music Group established The Principles for Music Creation with AI, hearing from musicians as we consider and develop AI applications was made fundamental. With the Tone Explorer technology preview, we are honoring this as we seek input from innovative music creators on everything from initial concept to execution. If we move forward with Tone Explorer development in the future, it will be based directly on the feedback we receive over the coming weeks.
