  • User Interface is Horrible

    1
    By JakeUsernameIsTaken
    Out of all the apps that can make music on the iPhone, this user interface is the most cramped and unusable I’ve ever seen. There are constant pop-ups trying to sell a bunch of add-ons and the option to “Never Show Again” is unclickable. All of the buttons are too small. I want to use this app so badly but Roland appears incapable of hiring a UI/UX team that designs for modern devices. This feels like a low-res junk app for the iPhone 4.
  • Great app needs added features though

    There is a learning curve and although there are other apps on iOS android that are easier to use, Zenbeats still has a lot of potential. Has good sounds out of the box and has expansions you can buy. You can also load your own samples into the drum machine if you have a library of sounds to work with. You can use AUv3 plugins as well so adding your virtual instruments and effects is possible. I think Roland should incorporate the SP 404 Mk ll with Zenbeats (so far only users of the Koala app and Serato Studio have access to that workflow, which is a pity since Roland owns Zenbeats and the SP).
  • IOS18 small issue

    I really like this but since I’ve installed IOS 18 I have to change the default audio device every time I start a new track.
  • A button to scroll through drum kits right next to button to play first sound is so %#*^ing dumb.

    I have hundreds of drum kits. I’m not gonna scroll through them one by one to get to where I want. And it’s in a terrible spot. I like to actually play the pads. Except whenever I do the drum kit changes and ruins my work. Undo doesn’t undo it. And makes me only have one angry thing to say about it when people ask me about it. Rather than all the good stuff about it I actually like. Please fix. Please.
  • Drum sampler

    By KennyW3ND3R
    I’ve been using Zenbeats for two years now and I love it. It has so much more potential too, but I really don’t understand why you can’t tone or pitch the different samples on the drum sampler like in koala I can make an option to tone the different samples if I want to, but I can’t do that on Z beats and that would make it force to be reckoned with if you could do more with the drum sampler such as being able to tone each and every sample instead of having to go through and manually pitch them. Like with midi controller!
  • Really Great Value

    By Byrdinbabylon
    Zenbeats is a sometimes overlooked option that has a ton of capabilities for music creation. Being able to write in clips and later transition to timeline recording is nice. For a reasonable price yearly, a full unlock is so worth it. The cross OS platform capability is great. I can use different plugins on my phone and iPad vs on computer is cool. There are a few small workflow quirks that keep it from 5 stars, but they keep adding stuff to it and I enjoy using it regularly. I do have a Verselab and wish they would improve the integration with that device. Being able to use the app for deeper controls of FX and settings on hardware would be great.

    Really need you guys to come up with your own solution for using the sp 404 mk 2 with ios/android
  • Waste of time and energy

    By Big Time Disappointment
    Doesn’t connect to VERSELAB Mv1 on this iPad mini 2 or my iPhone. Even when not connected, the app crashes when I choose ZC1. Roland fan here but this ain’t it. Wouldn’t have bought the VERSELAB if I’d known
