    Paid for the unlock on all platforms from my iPad. I literally have nothing on iPad and incessant ads on top of it. If the app isn’t ready for prime time, why offer sales through it?!

    This is a really nice app but there’s a few things that are essential in regards to workflow and vibe. 1.) Tempo can’t be changed while in Play Mode 2.) Session stops playing when pressing Save 3.) No note variation in Drum Beat Machine 4.) App Blocks audio while Screen Sharing 5.) Moving Notes in Piano Roll is kinda sketchy Overall, this is pretty cool for an on the go/idea recorder. Although, depending on experience Zen can be used as a great tool. The sounds are crisp as usual coming from Roland😏

    By roland should be better
    The crashes counted for usage. Totally pointless.
  • Weak MIDI editing, no IAA, Single velocity sample layering

    UPDATE: VERSION 3.0 AND 3.1 destroy MIDI FX capabilities. They are completely GONE! Does no one at Roland ever use or try a MIDI effect? All my projects are unusable. If there is some new secret handshake to make them appear and be useable, please share it. As to the previous review below; MIDI FX allowed me to use a full featured MIDI editor like Atom or Helium (along with Rozeta plug ins) THAT NO LONGER WORKS. ---------------------------------------------- Why this would not be important is unfathomable. I keep waiting and meanwhile I stay with BeatMaker 3. BM3 has great MIDI editing AND a multilayer sampler. Bring those things to ZenBeats and you’ll have a serious contender.
  • Some of everything.

    I got this app hoping I could use it for live gigging but then that is probably not the purpose for it. 😃 I wished I could layer sounds and use it for drum tracks but to me it’s really best used as a daw. The sounds and packs are ok. I think certain types of artists will get more out of this app. I give it 4 stars because of all it offers. The subscription seems to be worth it if you are invested in Roland products. It’s great that they have tiers so that you can get a feel for the app. I probably won’t renew but only because I was not easily able to find how this would fit me. Overall I think this is worth the investment.

    I accidentally deleted the app and I reinstalled it to find out that you can’t restore purchases.

    Spend like two hours making perfect drum kit. Add effects and all. Finally get it the way you want. Then in the first two minutes of jamming accidentally hit the > arrow where you select drum kit. And boom it’s gone. And you can’t hit undo to get it back. Either remove those, pretty unneeded anyways when you got hundreds of kits or add a lock function so you can’t change the drum kit without a ARE TOU SURE? Prompt
