Thank you! It worked for the MIDI on my piano track with scalebud2
@wim I still can’t get dRambo to record on transport mode. It just fills in every step in a linear repetitive random input.
If anyone has dRambo and knows how to get it to run it’s clip launcher and record input would be great
Check this Gattobus performance out using Roland Zenbeats for the beat coupled with the new Gaia 2 for synth sounds! What a combo!
I just want Zenology pro on iPad….
I’ll pay for it.
+1, Preferably as an AUv3 without ZenBeats and Roland Cloud subscription…
…And for no more than 5 bucks 😂
I really hope they have something in the works. Need them and Yamaha to step up in the iOS world. Even if Yamaha just maintained FM Essentials and made Synth Book an AU.
I’ve been away from Zenbeats for a while, focusing on diving in to Logic Pro, and while I think it’s fantastic, Zenbeats and Cubasis 3 are simply the best DAWs for me. Most likely gonna be deleting and cancelling my sub to Logic. For the little amount I use a DAW, $60+ a year and 14 GB of space is hard to justify.
+1 agree
Most of us would add Korg to that list as well, getting onboard the AUv3 train😎.
But, back to Roland Zenbeats. Glad to see you’re back from the dark side @HotStrange😉😁!
Please share what more you need from Roland Zenbeats in order to fulfill the “step up” part. I know for a fact the backlog is loaded with stuff but the more we can add the better, preferably new things. New features, workflow improvements, stability issues, bug fixes?
Roland is actively asking for feedback and the development is ongoing, even if not much about what is going on or coming can or will be shared officially. If @MatthewAtZenbeats can share something, I am sure he will.

Korg definitely as well. I need a DW8000 clone of theirs on iOS immediately (and as an AUV3 lol)
Haha thanks 😂 I definitely feel way more at home. I wanted to make sure I fully gave Logic a fair shake. It’s simply just not for me.
As for Zenbeats (and Cubasis), the main thing I want is mix busses, a bit better automation of AUV3s, and drag clips to loop them.
What is “a bit better automation” when relayed to the developer? 😂
/DMfan🇸🇪
Sorry but the whole reason Zenbeats is my favorite daw is because auv3 automation blows all other Daw out of the water - all of them. (I presume anyone wanting to get the most out of any prosecution has a hardware midi controller of course)
Yeah and that’s great, but there is still the issue of not being able to record automation from an app’s own UI when loaded into Roland Zenbeats on an iPhone for example. Or iPad. I mostly just use the iPad and a pair of headphones, less often my controllers. A major upside of mobile music production is not always being tied to a studio setup IMO.
/DMfan🇸🇪
I could see how those working only on an iPad or phone might want to have it without a controller.
I think multi core processing should be top of the list after bug fixes.
I did a un scientific experiment of using ButterSynth Auv3 in Zenbeats (single core) vs Cubasis (multi core) with a pad sound to compare my old iPad with new iPad. Old one is iPad Pro 2017, new one is iPad Pro 2022 M2.
Single core
—————
ipad 2017 - 4 instances
iPad 2022 - 8 instances
Multi core
—————
2017 - 8 instances
2022 - 20 instances
That a big difference !
Very interesting!
/DMfan🇸🇪
Totally agrees
That should be the MAIN update at this point
That’s exactly what I was getting at. Being able to record automation within the AUs own UI and knobs would take it to the next level. For both C3 and ZB.
You can do that in Cubasis 3 already.
Really? Not for me, Cubasis doesn’t expose half the parameters and the ones that are you can’t midi learn to hardware
We must have very different setups lol
The subject was recording automation directly from the AU plugin's knobs. That works.
@dreamcartel, for your scenario, recording automation from external midi hardware ...
Cubasis does expose all AUv3 parameters but not until you create at least some automation for them from the plugin's GUI. As far as I can tell though there isn't any way to map external hardware to them, as you mentioned. I'm not very familiar with Cubasis 3 though, so I could be missing something.
Yeah I was more mentioning automation in regards to ZB and brought up C3 in regards to the other issues I listed above (dragging a clip to loop it and mix busses, which both apps need).
Just trying to understand here, in order to fix things we must go deeper: what weird spacings? Can you show what you mean? The font is wrong… the wrong font, too big, too small…what do you think is wrong or wonky with the font? The ugly as hell part is kinda hard to fix since opinions differ. You think so, and I don’t so…. To each their own. I find it very convenient to hold a button for a sec or two to have menus opening up. A press shift function would mean two presses instead of one. I have no issues with long-pressing whatsoever. To me, that is a way to have a less cluttered UI and more effectively use a touch screen. But again, to each their own.
ZC1 is a bread ‘n butter sound bank based on the Zencore engine, giving the user easy access to and light editing of sounds from Roland. This is in order to reach a wide range of users. It is not marketed as anything else. If you don’t like it, you can use any AUv3 synth in the iOS universe. I have come to use ZC1 on a regular basis for basic sounds, and I find they mostly sit very well in a mix. Any synth aiming for bread ‘n butter sounds could be said to be boring, or vanilla, it is a matter of taste. If I need more advanced or exciting sounds, I just use a more advanced or specialized AUv3 synth.
That said, I wouldn’t mind a port of Zenology Pro to iOS, or a more advanced Roland synth like the Gaia 2 as an internal or standalone AUv3 synth, and both are noted feature requests in the backlog.

After spending alot of time in Zenbeats for the last month and a half, here’s my wish list.
These would make Zenbeats pretty perfect for me.
Great list, thank you!
/DMfan🇸🇪
That last one is useless below 88bpm and 1.21 gigawatts is really tough on battery life.
😂😂
It is essential to my work flow of collaborating with dead musical genius.
That’s a near complete list. AU engine update too for me but that’ll come in time when they see AU aren’t working. I hope they actually listen to it
And the UI is beautiful. I love it. Simple, retro and clean
