You only need a Roland Cloud account, not a subscription, to buy lifetime keys from Roland. You can also buy from some 3rd party retailers (Sweetwater etc). They give you a code you redeem on Roland Cloud.does anyone know this, i am not logged in the cloud via browser and you CANNOT buy lifetime keys WIHTOUT a subscription?
The $599 price is for Zenology with all 5 “Model Expansions”. Zenology Pro, by itself, is $229. So it works out to $370 for the 5 Model expansions, which will otherwise cost $149 individually(!) if you decided to get them later. Even at the reduced bundle offer, IMO, it's quite a steep price for what they are..thanks yes i think it is $599 if i see correct, this is kinda ridiculous price?
FWIW: JX-8P is exclusive to Zenology. The JD-800, other than being packaged inside Zenology, is otherwise identical to the Legendary plugin version. The Zenology Jupiter 8, Juno 106, and SH-101, are nice enough synths, but do fall apart a bit when compared to their (ACB modelled) Legendary counterparts.
The 15 "Wave Expansions", at $20 each, are a way to put the SRX samples into Zenology. However, as has been noted, they don't use reverb and may be missing a few other FX things. Reverb was added to Zenology 2. It's actually better than what's on the SRX plugins, but is not a like-for-like replacement. So the SRX plugins are currently the only way to get the original preset sounds as they were intended.
Anyone using Apple Silicon should also go with Zenology 2.The 1080 / 5080 / SRX plugins currently have CPU "spiking" issues with AS, and you might be waiting a while for a fix..
