Hey @MatthewAtZenbeats
since Zenbeats is multi-platform, do you think it could be possible to translate the parameters/settings of an AUv3 plugin to a VST version of the same plugin? So I could easily open projects from my iPad on my PC if I use plugins that i own on both iOS and Windows? I think this currently only works with iOS <-> MacOS…
Hi all, can anybody tell me if the following is possible in Zenbeats: I’d like to use Art Kern’s AUV3 midi effect processor “MidiLFOs” (which is basically 4 simple, but very useful LFOs) to modulate a given Audio Track’s associated Voume fader to create slow automated fade ins/outs, does anybody know if this is possible? @MatthewAtZenbeats Thanks in advance!
It's possible if you add MIDI LFO as a MIDI effect in Audiobus and routing to a virtual MIDI output. From there, go back to Zenbeats Settings/MIDI Input and you will see MIDILFO as a MIDI input option. You can then map it to anything in Zenbeats.
Thanks Matthew, I’ll try that!
Thanks Matthew,
Something tells me that this may allow me to capture the Piano Motiffs output through AUM into Zenbeats too using that method. I will try later.
Hi @MatthewAtZenbeats ok here’s what I’ve found: BramBos has a MIDI Effect processor called Mozaic which allows users to roll their own midi processors as scripts, there’s a particular script available from the Patchstorage website written by a contributor called “LFOs” which consists of a bank of 16 independent programmable LFOs which can output on Midi channels 1 to 16. I can load up an AUV3 instance of Mozaic as a Midi effect in Audiobus and have it routed into Zenbeats via Audiobus’s Virtual Midi Bridge to modulate the volume faders of 16 separate Audio Tracks to create slow volume fade in/outs for ambient music. I can manage to get Audio Tracks 1 & 2 to have their volume faders modulated to produce two separate fade in/outs at different rates (via Zenbeats Midi Learn function) which is great, but that’s as far as I can get, there’s no way it seems to hook up the remaining 14 tracks with differing LFO modulated volume fades. I really hope this makes sense!
Ok, I’ve sussed it and its working great, panic over!
A nice short tutorial video would help if you ever get a chance 😌
Hi, trying to sequence ZB with my digitone; I have configured 4 tracks to use midi channels 1-4 from the digitone. That routing works fine, but midi is only playing for the selected/highlighted track in ZB. I have to assume this is not by design, but can't find any setting to turn this off. Does anybody have a clue what gives?
Sorry if this has already answered in the thread, but I can't find any info! Thanks!
.
Have you tried arming all those midi tracks?. Pressing the record button on them. I believe that would act as a “monitor” function.
Has anyone else experience a random bug in midi editor ? Sometimes it seems impossible to zoom in/out using gestures
Yes, but I've not found any repeatable way to trigger the bug which really 'bugs' me...
...for must bugs there's a logical way to trigger/re-produce them but this bug in ZenBeats 'freaks me out' as it 'just happens' without any clearly logical pattern...
I also noticed that when it happens , it affects the editor's GUI and when hitting undo , some recorded or notes I drew, remain
It was happening in the past but it seems more frequent on last updates
Anything new in the latest update besides the change in icon?.
Regarding the icon, maybe it’s a hint at a new ZB design because it really doesn’t represent the current app.
Not only design… it hints about something bigger. It is the color used with Zencore so maybe, just maybe, we’re looking at ZC2 in the 2.3 or 3.0 version. ZC2 with full editing capabilities. Or a combo with ZC2, connected somehow to Roland hardware and Cloud.
What is worrying if so is the payment method. Let’s hope it is not a subscription model and that we at least can buy the ZC2 synth separately, and get access to the Cloud content via subscription…..
@MatthewAtZenbeats, come on. Give us a hint😁. Am I on to something here?

If it's more un-locks tied to the Roland Cloud I'll just delete the app for good and forget it even exists...
...cloud services are like 'hostage for life' because once you decide not to continue your subscription you're literary f'ked!
Cheers!
I’ve never used Zencore besides what’s currently available in ZB. If there’s a new model, extended capabilities or amazing cloud stuff I just hope it’s IAP’s or optional purchases/subscriptions.
There’s a myriad of great sounding synths on iOS, but still a lot of improvement in DAW department. I really hope we get some significant new features in ZB.
Totally with you. I’m so tired of that crap being sold as some sort of ‘progress.’
I am not a fan of subscriptions either but to call the whole idea ”crap” is pushing it I think. The idea itself is not bad at all, and comparing having to buy all these hardware synths and storing them is for most people impossible. Enter Roland Cloud. Which in fact IS progress, moving things along, not staying the same. Yeah, they could have gone the other way and charged per synth but it is their choice.
More than one album in history have started around a single sound or synth, borrowed from somewhere, then returned. But the music made with it lives on. So out of a music perspective, the payment method for using the synth is irrelevant. And for that matter, leasing, is common practice in many businesses worldwide.
But, to each their own. I can totally understand why the subscription model is a no-go if need of ownership is involved, or for ideological reasons ie ”those bad big companies won’t take MY money” or ”creative independence”.
Or whatever.
But to slap it as crap as a whole…no.

Other downside is if your government falls out with the USA your subscriptions may be borked.
We've worked on a solution for this.
Right now, just the icon and a few bug fixes. We're working on more new stuff too. Stay tuned!
I hear your frustration. As mentioned above we are working on new things too. Can't wait to be able to discuss more :-)
Well said! As long as you have a backup plan for your work it shouldn't be a problem. As with every app we use, we are also dependent on the platform. Apple, Microsoft, and Google can (and will) make changes frequently that can cause headaches for developers and artists alike. Zenbeats makes it super easy to archive projects as stems which can be played back in any application. In every DAW I've used and project I've worked on, making stems is always part of the process. So when I decide to revisit or remix from masters a decade from now, I don't have to worry about software or hardware compatibility issues.
Regarding subscription vs one-time payments for items, providing the choice is important. Zenbeats will continue to offer both options for the foreseeable future. It should also be noted that Roland Cloud offers one-time payments for their instruments too.
Thanks !
I've also found another bug where drawing automation causes huge cpu spikes (Air2 iOS 13)
Also another old bug remains ,drawing automation and hitting undo , the automation remains visible (although not active)
Entering again the midi editor ,fortunately, the GUI doesn't show the (removed by undo) automation
Speaking of old bugs , Sampleverse pitches up when selecting oversampling
I bought Cloud Core subscription (2.99) on my android phone and never got ANYTHING. IVe opened a ticket and havent heard anything. idk what account it is connected to apparently, i tried to make an account with the same email as my android google play store account, no luck. nothings unlocked, etc. However when i goto the store and act like im gonna purchase the core subscription again it says Error: you have already purchased a cloud core subscription.... same thing on my ipad, logged in with different accounts, no idea which account the purchase was applied to. seriously AND now i have lost more than a week of the free month trial of ultimate cloud... seriously i never got any content and nothing is unlocked. zc1 effects locked, sampleverse effects locked, using AUv3s locked,,, frustrating. seriously.
did you contact Roland ? (via the app there is a link for support)
this is a forum ,so I don't think those kind of issues can be resolved here
Yeah, I think I said I started a ticket but have not heard anything back for like 4 or 5 days now
you did mentioned it , but I misread it sorry ,
I'm sure someone will get in touch with you (check the spam folder, if you haven't already) , but I agree it's frustrating at least
Hi.
Check your PM.
Hi,
I’ve run into a very frustrating situation. I’m trying to sequence pattern changes on DigiStix 2 from Zenbeats. The goal is to sync DigiStix patterns to Zenbeats patterns/scenes,
DigiStix 2 responds to CC20 for pattern changes… cc20 value 0 for pattern 1, cc20 value 1 for pattern 2 and son on.
There seems to be no way to trigger a Cc message from Zenbeats which I find very surprising. You can trigger pitch bend, modulation… but you can’t specify a CC. Why is that?. I think it’s a big shortcoming.
So I tried to find a workaround… Mozaic as a midi fx with a script that converts notes to Cc values. It works in AUM but not in Zenbeats. Seems like this note to midi conversion is not working on the midi fx slots.
To double check I tried with Rozeta LFO. Sending values to midi Cc 20. Doesn’t work.
Is CC stuff not working at all in Zenbeats?.
This pattern change use is just one of many possible needs for CC changes, which imo should be a standard to implement.
nope ,
as for DigiStix check if there is a built-in AU parameter for changing the pattern
