This is great. Thanks for your time and sharing the Galaxias walkthrough. This video makes me want to get more into it. I've had it quite some time. This is way better than I thought. It would be even better if we can use it as a plugin within our D.A.W. Thanks so much again.
I remember in the late 80's actually layering real synths X3-4 synths with Class A effects and compressors and getting really big, punchy sounds. So this plug in makes it possible today in a computer without all that gear. But if you think about it, this is a redo of what we could do 30 years ago! Only I suppose cheaper perhaps and in less space.
Very reminiscent of Analog Lab, but better. Very nice! Would be great if you could use this software to access your Roland lifetime licences, without a subscription to the Roland Cloud. Thanks Nu-Trix for the review.
Roland GALAXIAS- this is insane. I want to know more and how much all this cost? I'm researching all this. After research, I see a Life time Key with no price. I believe this will get very expensive. Great video
When will we get it for the DAW? Also, please ask them to set it up like Komplete Kontrol with respect to unlimited midi mapping. Native Instruments has failed and Galaxias would make a great replacement if they expanded beyond 8 macros.
Took me almost 3 hours to get it all....But Spoiler Alert. You can minimize the overkill by just loading your Zenology and all the patches. Ignore the SRX and VST Originals, (except the Drum Machines ) I testet it: All the Patches that comes with the digital Clones, all the SRX and other Expensions are available in Zenology too and really sound exactly the same. Terefore you save 50% Memory and 1000% "searching the perfect Sound" Rabbithole. ;-)
I think the one problem is that even on a fast computer patches load relatively slow. i also wish there were separate play buttons for each device slot would make it good for live or jamming sessions. i cannot find your full tutorial video but i look forward to it....there is a lot to get lost in
When you think about it: With the ultra Membership (or "just" the Pro) and ca. 500 Euro for a good refurbished Workstation like a HP Z or Dell...you habe a Fantom. And I really think of seperating one of my PCs in my DAW Network for just that. (Running 2 ancient HP Z's with Dual Xenon, and 2 Dell i5 for Tools that need AVX Cpus like Massice X) in an Audio Gridder Network.)
For now... While we can’t yet provide an exact date, it’s going to be soon. GALAXIAS plug-in support is currently well into development and testing, and we hope to make it available before the end of the year. Stay tuned!
@@RolandCloudnice! Just to check - would this be only for subscribers or would it work for those who have lifetime keys? I have 6 lifetime keys and some packs, but don’t subscribe currently, so am wondering if this would work with what I have. Thanks!
Interesting, I’m sure UVI Falcon already does layers in a much better way and is way more flexible. But full credit to Roland. Be good if they offered something at a lower price without subscribing to Roland cloud. Great to see what different manufacturers are coming out with. Choice is always good 👍🏼
Great video. It's a shame that this software is only for Ultimate subscribers. It looks like Roland starting from high end customers first. Fantom EX not Fontom 0 Series, now Galaxias. I'm Fantom 0 series user and a RolandCloud Pro subscriber and only thing I can do is upgrade. What standing behind this philosophy? I don't know. Shame 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
Basically, but with no nks (native instruments) and no midi controller to preview sounds... plus it's not yet a VST so like a 50% version of arturia maybe 🤔
@vaiman7777 I subscribed and yes it's VERY different. The sounds are great and super quality, arturias got good sound but their Juno and jupiter knock offs don't compare at all to the original sound of the roland. I bought all the Vst 4 arturia so that's where the initial observation came from. But the quality 👌 is like mama secret sauce spaghetti recipie!!! Good till u can't Take it anymore! Thanks for the reply!
@@CultureKpr Yeah they’re spot on sound wise. 👌 For the price I feel you get a great amount. Great time to be a musician I say. Have fun and a great 2024!
I wonder if they will later expand this to handle 16 tracks in a scene like on Fantom/Fantom-0. Then again, once this works as a VST you can just add multiple instances. I wonder how long it will take to release it as a VST? Also, will they sell a lifetime license for it? I'd rather that, than have to pay $20/month forever. I have Pro Cloud right now, and don't want to double that amount just to get this.
I’m guessing the Fantom should have it own editor like the Jupiter x but I have no info on this. Galaxias has just been released, in further updates I’m expecting it to be available for more people (other memberships or lifetime) but I’m just guessing.
Can it be a stand alone plug in? Or do you have to be on Roland's cloud service? I ask this as a Reaper DAW user on Linux. Windows VSTs can be made to work in that setup for example. Not sure about this though. Anyone ?
@@pdmidipd_patch7476 Interesting. I just checked it out. I remember why I shied away from them. I just don't get the "Core, Pro, Ultimate" routine. For orchestral samples, it makes sense. For a synth... it's too much. I don't even want to download the cloud manager and start going through the headache of it all. I think they should just play it straight. You rent or you buy the same product everyone else gets. 🤷♂
@@Nu-trix Hopefully so brother. Aturia has this down to a science and I'm evaluating weather I need Zenolgy anymore as I already own the Roland Fantom.
I have roland cloud ultimate why would i pay 199 a year again just for a search engine front end for the instruments? Is this a DAWless roland instrument layering system, is it even a plugin for your DAW. I already layer sounds midi channels in ableton why do i need this for 199? At least arturia made analog lab free with pay once v collection 9. Roland are so greedy paying twice so 398 a year just for an analog lab style search front end. In 5 years you could have paid outright for a massive collection of spitfire plugins in that same time period. Quite shocking marketing😂
No offence, but can you actually play keyboards? Any chord progressions or melodies? You never play anything in any of your videos, you're always just holding one note, switching presets and talking. How can you "demo" synths if you never actually play them?
I never found myself to be a great player. I’m playing by ear and spend more time programming my sequence than playing them. I’ll work on more playing live next time.
unfortunately cloud based, therefore not so interesting, besides that only available with ultimate cloud version, so you have to spend at least 200 $ a year just to be able to use Galaxias. There are far too many cloud-based subscriptions, so what are these companies thinking - how many more subscriptions should we sign up for?

Looks like Roland's answer to Arturia's Analog Lab. Very nice.
also Native Instruments Komplete
Analog Lab is top, much more instruments and sounds and not cloud based
Thank you for the great walkthrough Nu-Trix!
Very good demo. I look forward to the next one. As a Cloud subscriber, this free gift is like Christmas coming early!🤠
cool. thanks man!
The layers concept is pretty cool. Thanks for the demo
It's a concept that's been around since the mid 80s, was used by Roland and then perfected by...err...Korg. It's called multitimbrality,
@@giuseppelentini9140 Thanks for the education
Roland legendary sounds

It is now available as a plugin.
@@Nu-trix Really???? Let Me Check.
For those invested in Roland Cloud (I have Ultimate and yes it is worth it to me) this is great!
Why it don’t work in fl
@ritla4169 the Plugin version is in the works. It should be out soon. For now, we only have access to the stand alone version.
@@Nu-trix ok I didn’t understand it I deleted it
That cpu management is great... nice demo
This should come with a controller… thanks for sharing!

this plus a Beatstep Pro + controller keyboard would be pretty fun i bet.
Roland GALAXIAS- this is insane. I want to know more and how much all this cost? I'm researching all this. After research, I see a Life time Key with no price. I believe this will get very expensive. Great video
Arturia have do this 10 years ago with Analog Lab V ...goodmorning Roland! ....ad the synth lost (JP-8000) ?
I cant believe it takes them so long to release a vst of a digital synth.
I have Analog lab. This is Way better. I just hope they do a lifetime key option.
It’s essentially Roland’s version of Unity.
When will we get it for the DAW? Also, please ask them to set it up like Komplete Kontrol with respect to unlimited midi mapping. Native Instruments has failed and Galaxias would make a great replacement if they expanded beyond 8 macros.
How much power, ram and disk space will someone need to actually use this, specially within a DAW?
I know I'm going to slip up and call this Galaxian. LOL
You, sir or madam, are a space invader
Are the SuperNATURAL sounds from the Roland Integra-7 and Fantom G in Galaxias? I’m asking before I purchase both.
Took me almost 3 hours to get it all....But Spoiler Alert. You can minimize the overkill by just loading your Zenology and all the patches. Ignore the SRX and VST Originals, (except the Drum Machines )

Mines fast on a M2 Mac mini
We need it for iOS

Or better, a Mac mini. Works like a beast as I’ve just done this.
That loading time 😢😢
am i right, this is not an vst it is a standalonething right? If so, why?
The plugin is in the works and should be out soon for want I understand .

UVi Falcon is a massive sampler. Galaxias is combinator of all Roland Cloud has to offer.
So this is lowkey Roland “patcher” (FL patcher) 😮
Can you get it with all of the synths pre installed and if so how much $$?
Great video. It's a shame that this software is only for Ultimate subscribers. It looks like Roland starting from high end customers first. Fantom EX not Fontom 0 Series, now Galaxias.

I think the offer will evolve as it goes on.
Can I use my Korg Triton Extreme as a keabord for this Roland Galaxias?😮
Any MIDI keyboard can be used to play Galaxias.
@@Nu-trix Wow, so great, thank You😀😀😀
So, this is Roland's answer to Arturia's Analog V?
Basically, but with no nks (native instruments) and no midi controller to preview sounds... plus it's not yet a VST so like a 50% version of arturia maybe 🤔
@@CultureKprYou can’t deep edit the synths in Analog Lab, unless you buy them. It’s basically a patch browser. This is very different.

Can your patches be exported to the Fantom or JupiterX??
The Zenology patches using Zencore engine should be transferable to other Zencore devices.
For what I know, the Patches from Galaxias cannot be exported to hardware devices.
If it was available in the Pro subscription, I might be interested, but Ultimate is just too $$$$$$$$$
Damn Roland sux that processor
Can it be a stand alone plug in? Or do you have to be on Roland's cloud service? I ask this as a Reaper DAW user on Linux. Windows VSTs can be made to work in that setup for example. Not sure about this though. Anyone ?
A plugin version is in the works.
@@Nu-trix Thanks. Interesting.
This system os very expansiva.... David Guetta don have money to pay this Every year
Looks like Roland has been watching UVI
Kore 2
Subscription only? No thanks 😂
Can they be sync to Fantom and FA?
Do you mean MIDI sync or sending patch and expansion to the synth?
I’ve never bought in to Roland products because I don’t like the subscription model. But this sort of reminds me Arturia Labs?
subscription is optional , you can buy them if you want :)

There is no reason (except Rolands greed) for them not to bring this browser to regular Zenology customers. Aturia has it, why not Roland?
My guess is that it will be available for all users at a certain point.
@@Nu-trix Hopefully so brother. Aturia has this down to a science and I'm evaluating weather I need Zenolgy anymore as I already own the Roland Fantom.

Most of the Roland Cloud content is also available in a pay once format (lifetime key) .
@@Nu-trix if you buy them all you are at 4000-5000 dollars big difference to Arturia, currently Black Friday only 250 dollars.
