ZENOLOGY Free ROLAND Synthesizer

Classic analog. Vintage digital. Modern hybrid

ZENOLOGY is an expandable plug-in version of the ZEN-Core synthesis system, which is based on independent synth voices, each with oscillator, filter, amplifier, two LFOs and flexible effects. It combines several types of synthesis, with vintage Roland oscillators and filters with PCM waveforms that support sync and cross-modulation. Superpose up to four voices in a single sound for rich and complex results, both classic and modern.

Roland’s effects processors are as beloved as the legendary instruments of their era. Spacious delays and reverbs, the dynamic chorus of the JUNO-106 and CE-1, or unique effects like the SDD-320’s Dimension D and DJ-FX Looper are just a few of the more than 90 ZENOLOGY effects that can add shape and color to your sound.
