Synthesizers are in just about every style of modern music, so you need something versatile, authentic, and forward-thinking. ZENOLOGY embodies over 50 years of synthesizer research and development. Its roots go back to the dawn of synthesis. Its future will reshape your relationship with sound.
For decades, Roland sounds have had a massive influence on music. These legendary instruments have defined genres like techno, house, rap, trap, and hip hop, and deeply influenced pop, rock, and film music. This long legacy has culminated in the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. It's the most advanced sound engine they've ever made, powering their professional synthesizers like JUPITER-X and FANTOM, used on stages and in studios around the world.
ZENOLOGY Pro is an expandable plug-in version of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. ZEN-Core is based on discrete synth voices—each containing a flexible oscillator, filter, amplifier, dual LFOs, and effects. It mixes multiple synthesis types, combining vintage Roland oscillators and filters with PCM waves capable of sync and cross modulation. Layer up to four voices in a single tone for rich, complex sounds, both classic and modern.
Roland effects processors are as revered as their legendary instrument counterparts. Spacious reverbs and delays, sweeping JUNO-106 and CE-1 choruses, and unique effects like the SDD-320 Dimension D and DJ-FX Looper are just some of ZENOLOGY Pro's over 90 effects that can shape and colour your sound.
ZENOLOGY Pro comes with thousands of patches, hundreds of drum kits, and all the tools you need to create nearly any sound from scratch. And you can go even further with the ever-expanding, always-evolving universe of creative options on Roland Cloud. Driven by the powerful ZEN-Core Synthesis System, a steady stream of new sounds and expansions focus on specific genres and instrument types or feature custom collections from leading artists.
ZENOLOGY Pro's friendly and informative browser helps you find exactly what you're looking for. Filter and organise your sounds, rate favourites, and even create custom banks. No matter how you work, your sounds are never far away.
From rare and sought-after classics to the designs of tomorrow, growing collection of Model Expansions can instantly transform ZENOLOGY Pro into entirely different instruments, like the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, SH-101, JX-8P, and JD-800. Using advanced modelling techniques to capture the essence of their legendary instruments, every Model Expansion has its own sonic personality, features, and preset tones. And they're optimised for high polyphony with interfaces inspired by the original hardware—but reimagined for your DAW.
