This rocks! The Zenbeats and Verselab integration was the final deciding factor for my choosing Verselab over other production stand alone units. I look forward to exploring the environment and to future updates. Yay Roland!!
Very cool stuff. Ability to multi-track record on the iPad Zenbeats would be needed though. The sampling/slicing editor would also take great benefit from the ZenBeats integration.
I would like to thank Roland for thinking of us weirdos that use a PC and Android. We get the cold shoulder too often with companies only writing apps for iOS to integrate their instruments with the software. It's gotten better over the years though.
Hello! Thanks for the comment. We are definitely only just beginning to get started on Roland hardware integrations. Look out for more VERSELAB updates and announcements to come.
That is super exciting to read. I am kind of blown away at what you did for the MV1 already. I'd be happy with just clip handling of the drum machine pattern parts on the TR8S, but deeper editing of effects or the CTRL parameter would be so sexy! Tossing some of those midi automation presets into a pattern arrangement of a saved drum kit would be so awesome! Plus you have done a great job of making the interface look and feel like an extension of a physical Roland instrument. Kudos!
Please integrate ZenBeats to work directly with Fantom somehow... would be really cool if ZenBeats was the sequencer built into the Fantom for example, or if not that, somehow integrated so that using it on iPad or laptop placed above the keyboard would feel like an extension of the workstation.
Deep synth Par als like attack and decay. Very deep. If it would allow editing like on the 707 this would be great but this is just feels like a calculated omission.
6:09 - "Record button (it goes) and Play" - can it sync-start? More great things to come. Keep it coming! ... BTW please, please add an option to start editing mode (drawing) by default. It's such a pain to go switch from arrow-select mode every time you enter midi editor. TNX!
Hi Jonathon, there's still plenty of work to do here on VERSELAB integrations that will come next. But we are curious to what you would like to have. What would you like to see for MC-707 as far as Zenbeats integration?
@@rolandzenbeats I personally would like to see the same type of integrations, for the MC-101, as what you have here, for the Verselab. I would LOVE to have a visual editor of some kind for the loop player section of the 101, as opposed to the meaningless, enormous number I have to scroll through to adjust the length. Additionally, some way of editing wave files so they could be assigned to pads as different sections of sample would be great. And lastly, being able to visually build custom ZenCore sound engine presets for the MC-101. All of the stuff I this video would be ideal, but the three mentions in my comment are most important to me. Thanks!
Future request: So far, we are using Zenbeats on the iPad as a MV-1 editor. But since Zenbeats is its own program with its own pattern windows and tracks and instruments and sounds, I would love to see the MV-1 be able to control Zenbeats like a midi controller. We can do this partially already by turning on the midi outputs per instrument on the MV-1 so that the pads send midi notes to Zenbeats, like a midi controller, to create patterns in the Zenbeats pattern window instead of having to tap on the iPad screen to create patterns there. However, when I look down at the MV-1, that pattern I just created on the iPad is not on the MV-1. The sound is coming through the MV-1 which is great, but the pattern only exists in Zenbeats, so really the next step in my opinion would be to have Zenbeats send the pattern to the MV-1 or vice versa. Like a handshake. So that if I create a pattern on the iPad in the pattern window, it will sync to an empty sequence/section on the MV-1. Then any changes I make on the MV-1 will get updated in the Zenbeats project window and vice versa.
its useful, to be able to see and adjust parameters in zenbeats, but why isnt it possible, to record this into the motion on the machine? Or am I just too dumb to get how to do it?? I dont want to work with a computer, thats why I bought the mv1. And if I use a big monitor, its suboptimal, that I the machine ignores one of its best features to create lively sounds..
Roland please make it where we can fully edit the synths on this machine!!!! please, otherwise it feels like a preset machine! i wanna make my own patches!! is this possible in a future update, if so ill buy one but if i cant edit the synths without a computer, this is useless for me.
Can you please make a VST version for users who would like to use it as a drum sampler inside their daws, or Rewire support. I have it setup via the IAC driver on Mac using Midi/Start/Stop but it can be a bit of a pain in the ass. This would be awesome :)

@@rolandzenbeats Hey guys thanks for your reply. I've just invested in a nice Roland set up and love it! With the JDXi, TR8 (TR8S Arriving tomorrow) MC707, TB3 and VT3 all going into the MX1 via Aira link. My ideal scenario would be to plug the MX1 straight into Zenbeats and have it register the individual tracks and midi data (Including separate drum tracks on TR8S and sperate tracks on MC707) and be able to hit record and boom. Is this in the roadmap? I'm sure there would be ways to do this via LogicX But if you could make the integration as seamless as the Aira USB links you guys would be onto a winner for sure. I get that MV1 is your new product and you want to highlight it but imagine all the MX1 and Aira series users out there that would want this. MX1 sales would sky rocket for sure and might even make demand even higher for a MX2 to join the new Aira gear. Really interested to hear your response. I currently plan to use my Aira gear as standalone jamming and performance and to keep production within LogicX. But imagine the possibilities with the MX1 integration. It would be next level and I'd probably spend more time in Zenbeats than LogicX
@@rolandzenbeats Hi! I would like to see a pianoroll with a great interface, fast and intuitive. And. Possibility to play Clips from different Sections at the same time. And. Possibility to better arrange/edit the vocals. Thanks!
@@P-S-T Piano roll? Get a damn computer. People seem to miss the point. The MC707 and 101 are never getting zenbeats/extra screen integration that functionality is what this device is for and they are grooveboxes. You cant put everything + kitchen sink in one device and it still be usable by anyone (except Nikola Tesla) and forget about even Tesla being able to play out live with that "All In 1 box + piano roll + analog mastering (don't forget the built in mixing desk) + Rolandex (integrated music industry contact list so you can communicate, collaborate, and share all within the device), Full size keys gotta have... and if it's more than $549 all the comment trolls will be hopping up and down on their keyboards. So if you want to make groove box jams into complete finished songs, spend $500 on a used MV-1 and problem solved. Stop complaining.
@@rolandzenbeats Great Job ROLAND! 😀👍 The Verselab MV-1 is a great piece of hardware and very powerful with its near limitless potential. I agree as a mv1 buyer that adding this laptop/tablet screen interface is major deal, and making zenbeats seamlessly integrate with the MV-1 has to be one of Rolands top priorities. Adding big improvements or cool software into zenbeats will bring out much more of the hidden (on the mv1 surface face) strengths of the MV1, which is key to making the Verselab MV-1 the song making Studio in a box for on the go travel music production or a home studio setup. It will work seamlessly for both. The regular updates, bug fixes, new stuff being added to Zenbeats software for MV-1 is really the secret weapon of the MV-1 in challenging other competitors, like the akai MPC1 or others, and keeping the Verselab top tier in its category for years to come, and not just the new flavour of the year etc. Its partly why I invested in Rolands portable & professionally capable Aira series as a future music maker! I think Roland is on the right track, because the Verselab MV-1 has the potential to dominate the market and be AIRA’s flagship harware product for Roland for the future if they keep improving the interface access to bring out more & more of the strengths buried below the surface of the hardware! 😊 Without adding deep plug’n’play functionality and yearly fixes and software boosts to the MV-1, its potential will fade much quicker into obscurity, verses keeping it a regular priority will make the mv1 another legendary piece of kit or hardware for years and decades to come! 😊
I have VERSELAB MV-1, I like everything about it, EXCEPT, I'm not able to record pitch bend, sustain, or modulation midi signals from my keyboard controller. So using the amazing array of onboard sounds is not the greatest without pitch bend, sustain pedal, or modulation. If anyone figures out how to do this, let me know. I'm a keyboardist, so synth leads and Rhodes sounds need that pitch bend and sustain pedal. The pads are great, but for soloing, I need my keys. I thought I could find something in Zenbeats, but I didn't. The fader and parameter integration is really nice.
It would be nice to have the "bring your screen" to the MC-101; similar integration like Verselab Editor but for MC-Grooveboxes with the "clip editing" feature. It would be great alternative to a song mode on the MC-101/707 without having to program new shortcuts in MCs ; the "tone editing" windows would be HUGE PLUS too as the MC-101 screen is really tiny. Giving a "bring your screen" to the MC-101 would really open up the workflow and really put Roland on par, if not above, the competition (MPC, OP-Z/OP-1). To be honest, I really thought that kind of integration was what Roland meant to do when they announced "Zencore Instrument integration" to zenbeat last year. I really hope for it to happen. :) Also, any chance we'll get a auto-pitch corrector for vocals in Zenbeats ? :)
@@rolandzenbeats thanks for your reply, that was unexpected 🙂👍 I would like to be have a similar integration like for the MV1 and additionally I’d like to be able to edit sounds which surely would be more convenient on a tablet (the editing on the 707 is still pretty good given the little screen). By the way, if you need beta testers, I would be avilable. I work in the software industry so I am not afraid of these things. In any case I love the sound of this box! ❤️
@@rolandzenbeats 101 Integration too, as I want to do more fine tuning on my settings and changes on my computer as it is easier and gives a better overview and be able to add vocals to my songs too, would be great if I could transfer from 101 on to my mv1 too, but I guess if you solve the 101/707 integration with Zenbeats, I might be able to start on a song on the 101, transfer to Zenbeats and back into my Mv1 if I want? Make sure all your hardware works better together, I should be able to use my 101 and Mv1 together to get 12 channels or more...
Does ZenBeats work with a Roland hardware like the fantom or the Juno DS where you can upload tracks from your keyboard and track out individual parts just like the versa
Not currently. You can 'fake sidechain' using the 'motion designer' though. Basically applying a LFO waveform to volume level to get that pumping effect.
Thanks. That should work for a classic pumping fx. But only on a very basic kick rhythm. I hope they’ll implement a way to choose a source on the compressor and limiter. Anyway, very promising box, just a few things like side-chaining, stem export, iOS multi-track out, easier access to personal sample library and maybe having more than one FX per track would make it a no brainer. Already a pretty good package for a V1.0x firmware though !
I spent $600 on a verse lab after watching this..and all I get is constant freezes in MV-1 integration mode. Wish companies would just be honest when a product is still in beta
I’m about to order an iPad for my MV-1. What cables do I need to buy to connect the MV-1 to the iPad & will the MV-1 power the iPad so there’s no battery issues.
Hi, Street! Great question. Depending on the generation of iPad, it would require either a Lightning Camera Kit adapter or USB-C Camera Kit adapter and a USB cable. Thanks! 😊
@@rolandzenbeats Good to hear, just spent a small fortune on Roland gear including Zenbeats. I would appreciate these videos being in 16:9 format like this one, and not 4:3 format as of recent. They look cheap and awful mate..
I would really love to see y'all bring midi file importing to the Verselab, like you have on the 707 and 101. I have all three. I got the 101 and 707 before the Verselab. I kinda assumed the Verselab would have it too. I guess I shouldn't assume stuff like that. I still would've bought it though. It wasn't a deal breaker.
And I got my voice lab three days ago, and I like it, I love the way roland are going with the software. But I urgently need a way to sort and pre-arrange my favourite patches so I don’t have to look too long when inspiration strikes. Anyway how I can collect patches ?
Check out the VERSLAB Manual Video ruclips.net/video/gMBZwXV3io0/видео.html for a complete deep dive into it. I think we saw that covered there but definitely comment on that video as the VERSELAB team will know what your best move there is!
Hi! Downloaded Zenbeats to Windows toaday and tried it with Verselab. Have alot of issues. Music disappears, sections is not highlighted, loading my projects takes forever etc. Anyone else has this kind of problems?
Have you made sure you are on the latest firmware? With Zenbeats 2.1 + VERSELAB MV-1, please make sure you're running System Version 1.03 or later. Get the latest one at: www.roland.com/us/products/verselab_mv-1/downloads/ If that is not the issue then it could be the connection. Experiencing identification issues could be the USB cable. Maybe try another if possible. If the problem persists don't hesitate to open a ticket at support: www.roland.com/backstage/#/zenbeats-support
@@rolandzenbeats Updated to the latest firmware and it works better. Still, if I start to play music from Zenbeats and stops with Verselab, Zenbeats will continuing playing. And if I change tempo on Verselab the tempo on Zenbeats dont follow (the music plays faster/slower tho).
With Zenbeats and MV-1, you can capture you mix or stems. We cover this in the video. If you have any further questions the best place to reach out to Zenbeats support is at: www.roland.com/backstage/#/zenbeats-support
@@rolandzenbeats I got that but will all my settings come with it and can I transfer a wet and dry version of my vocals, please update the Zenbeats integration to support vocals settings and editing. Look how you can transfer a recording from a DAW to Tascam and from Tascam to the DAW. It is so hard to work with the vocals in MV1 if you want to change parts of the vocals and you cant do the automation. Please update. The vocal part is what makes this box stand out from your competition so more focus on that please
It is free for a basic account and basic features and then you have the options for unlocking more in the store. The key choices are between Unlocks ($15 mobile, $50 desktop, or all platforms, all content for $150) or getting a membership (starting at $2.99/month that gets you Zenbeats all platforms, all store content).
Am I the only one who’s wondering how did you turn your MacBook screen into a touchscreen. Are you using some kind of software to allow you to touch the laptop screen on a Mac and make it seem like an iPad. Thank you so much anyone else in the group who knows what’s going on please enlighten this fool
Hi! For this overview demo we used a Microsoft Surface Pro. I guess it can be confused for a macbook. We like them both but for Zenbeats... touchscreen is pretty great!
@@rolandzenbeats Then I guess I am really the only one LOL. She is that thing really looked close. Kind of shocked. Definitely makes sense though. Thank you
We want more, please. How to do proper automation on your vocals and change all other vocal settings??? More focus on the vocals please. That is how this would be so different to the competition and how you integrate with the software, please spend a lot on a MV pro with great build and more direct access to all the settings and make it very easy to do automations and others on the hardware .... it can be the best solution ever, look at Akais pro version, make something like that but much better .... I buy it and many others. Mv1 to use on the go and for travel and a more pro version for the studio. Make it a lot easier to integrate with other synths and other external units. Make it to a super hub
Why just VersaLab? Why not MC101/707? 1. Versalab has sysex implementation, MC101/707 does not. 1.1 They (MC's) will be have? May in the near future? 2. Drop out your rubbish MC's dude! Buy a new Versalab! (?!?) Come on Roland!!! Just honestly!!!

MX1 sales would sky rocket for sure and might even make demand even higher for a MX2 to join the new Aira gear. Really interested to hear your response. I currently plan to use my Aira gear as standalone jamming and performance and to keep production within LogicX. But imagine the possibilities with the MX1 integration. It would be next level and I'd probably spend more time in Zenbeats than LogicX
@@rolandzenbeats Hi! I would like to see a pianoroll with a great interface, fast and intuitive. And. Possibility to play Clips from different Sections at the same time. And. Possibility to better arrange/edit the vocals. Thanks!
@@P-S-T Piano roll? Get a damn computer. People seem to miss the point. The MC707 and 101 are never getting zenbeats/extra screen integration that functionality is what this device is for and they are grooveboxes. You cant put everything + kitchen sink in one device and it still be usable by anyone (except Nikola Tesla) and forget about even Tesla being able to play out live with that "All In 1 box + piano roll + analog mastering (don't forget the built in mixing desk) + Rolandex (integrated music industry contact list so you can communicate, collaborate, and share all within the device), Full size keys gotta have... and if it's more than $549 all the comment trolls will be hopping up and down on their keyboards. So if you want to make groove box jams into complete finished songs, spend $500 on a used MV-1 and problem solved. Stop complaining.
@@rolandzenbeats Great Job ROLAND! 😀👍
The Verselab MV-1 is a great piece of hardware and very powerful with its near limitless potential. I agree as a mv1 buyer that adding this laptop/tablet screen interface is major deal, and making zenbeats seamlessly integrate with the MV-1 has to be one of Rolands top priorities.
Adding big improvements or cool software into zenbeats will bring out much more of the hidden (on the mv1 surface face) strengths of the MV1, which is key to making the Verselab MV-1 the song making Studio in a box for on the go travel music production or a home studio setup. It will work seamlessly for both.
The regular updates, bug fixes, new stuff being added to Zenbeats software for MV-1 is really the secret weapon of the MV-1 in challenging other competitors, like the akai MPC1 or others, and keeping the Verselab top tier in its category for years to come, and not just the new flavour of the year etc. Its partly why I invested in Rolands portable & professionally capable Aira series as a future music maker!
I think Roland is on the right track, because the Verselab MV-1 has the potential to dominate the market and be AIRA’s flagship harware product for Roland for the future if they keep improving the interface access to bring out more & more of the strengths buried below the surface of the hardware! 😊
Without adding deep plug’n’play functionality and yearly fixes and software boosts to the MV-1, its potential will fade much quicker into obscurity, verses keeping it a regular priority will make the mv1 another legendary piece of kit or hardware for years and decades to come! 😊
I have VERSELAB MV-1, I like everything about it, EXCEPT, I'm not able to record pitch bend, sustain, or modulation midi signals from my keyboard controller. So using the amazing array of onboard sounds is not the greatest without pitch bend, sustain pedal, or modulation. If anyone figures out how to do this, let me know. I'm a keyboardist, so synth leads and Rhodes sounds need that pitch bend and sustain pedal. The pads are great, but for soloing, I need my keys. I thought I could find something in Zenbeats, but I didn't. The fader and parameter integration is really nice.
is there a way to slice recorded samples using the zenbeats app?
It would be nice to have the "bring your screen" to the MC-101; similar integration like Verselab Editor but for MC-Grooveboxes with the "clip editing" feature. It would be great alternative to a song mode on the MC-101/707 without having to program new shortcuts in MCs ; the "tone editing" windows would be HUGE PLUS too as the MC-101 screen is really tiny. Giving a "bring your screen" to the MC-101 would really open up the workflow and really put Roland on par, if not above, the competition (MPC, OP-Z/OP-1). To be honest, I really thought that kind of integration was what Roland meant to do when they announced "Zencore Instrument integration" to zenbeat last year. I really hope for it to happen. :)
Also, any chance we'll get a auto-pitch corrector for vocals in Zenbeats ? :)
Thanks for the detailed comment. We'll consider that. Stay tuned!
When will there be MC-707 integration?
What type of integration would you like to see for the MC-707?
@@rolandzenbeats thanks for your reply, that was unexpected 🙂👍
I would like to be have a similar integration like for the MV1 and additionally I’d like to be able to edit sounds which surely would be more convenient on a tablet (the editing on the 707 is still pretty good given the little screen).
By the way, if you need beta testers, I would be avilable. I work in the software industry so I am not afraid of these things.
In any case I love the sound of this box! ❤️
Choosing the clips !! (MC-707)
@@rolandzenbeats 101 Integration too, as I want to do more fine tuning on my settings and changes on my computer as it is easier and gives a better overview and be able to add vocals to my songs too, would be great if I could transfer from 101 on to my mv1 too, but I guess if you solve the 101/707 integration with Zenbeats, I might be able to start on a song on the 101, transfer to Zenbeats and back into my Mv1 if I want? Make sure all your hardware works better together, I should be able to use my 101 and Mv1 together to get 12 channels or more...
Does ZenBeats work with a Roland hardware like the fantom or the Juno DS where you can upload tracks from your keyboard and track out individual parts just like the versa
Hi! Would be nice to see how much, and what difference, different screensizes makes (from a small iPhonescreen to a big computerscreen).
Great point! We will have to show that off. Which features do you have concerns about with screen size?
Is the verselab able to do sidechaining through it’s built-in compressors / limiters ?
Not currently. You can 'fake sidechain' using the 'motion designer' though. Basically applying a LFO waveform to volume level to get that pumping effect.
Thanks. That should work for a classic pumping fx. But only on a very basic kick rhythm. I hope they’ll implement a way to choose a source on the compressor and limiter.
Anyway, very promising box, just a few things like side-chaining, stem export, iOS multi-track out, easier access to personal sample library and maybe having more than one FX per track would make it a no brainer.
Already a pretty good package for a V1.0x firmware though !
The MC-707 is also lacking sidechaining. It can be simulated with automation though.
I spent $600 on a verse lab after watching this..and all I get is constant freezes in MV-1 integration mode. Wish companies would just be honest when a product is still in beta
I’m about to order an iPad for my MV-1.
What cables do I need to buy to connect the MV-1 to the iPad & will the MV-1 power the iPad so there’s no battery issues.
Hi, Street! Great question. Depending on the generation of iPad, it would require either a Lightning Camera Kit adapter or USB-C Camera Kit adapter and a USB cable. Thanks! 😊
So this is just for the MV-Verse Lab, when will MC-101 be integrated? and will it be?
Hey Darren👋, yes it’s just for MV-1 verselab today. There is no news on any MC-101/707 series integration at this time. Thanks 🙏
@@rolandzenbeats Good to hear, just spent a small fortune on Roland gear including Zenbeats. I would appreciate these videos being in 16:9 format like this one, and not 4:3 format as of recent. They look cheap and awful mate..
I would really love to see y'all bring midi file importing to the Verselab, like you have on the 707 and 101. I have all three. I got the 101 and 707 before the Verselab. I kinda assumed the Verselab would have it too. I guess I shouldn't assume stuff like that. I still would've bought it though. It wasn't a deal breaker.
I need that Zenbeat tee shirt.
drop a request to Roland lifestyle to make that happen! instagram.com/rolandlifestyle/
And I got my voice lab three days ago, and I like it, I love the way roland are going with the software. But I urgently need a way to sort and pre-arrange my favourite patches so I don’t have to look too long when inspiration strikes. Anyway how I can collect patches
?
Check out the VERSLAB Manual Video ruclips.net/video/gMBZwXV3io0/видео.html for a complete deep dive into it. I think we saw that covered there but definitely comment on that video as the VERSELAB team will know what your best move there is!
Hi! Downloaded Zenbeats to Windows toaday and tried it with Verselab. Have alot of issues. Music disappears, sections is not highlighted, loading my projects takes forever etc. Anyone else has this kind of problems?
Have you made sure you are on the latest firmware? With Zenbeats 2.1 + VERSELAB MV-1, please make sure you're running System Version 1.03 or later. Get the latest one at: www.roland.com/us/products/verselab_mv-1/downloads/ If that is not the issue then it could be the connection. Experiencing identification issues could be the USB cable. Maybe try another if possible. If the problem persists don't hesitate to open a ticket at support: www.roland.com/backstage/#/zenbeats-support
@@rolandzenbeats Updated to the latest firmware and it works better. Still, if I start to play music from Zenbeats and stops with Verselab, Zenbeats will continuing playing. And if I change tempo on Verselab the tempo on Zenbeats dont follow (the music plays faster/slower tho).
one touch reverse... proves roland is kinda somewhat listening to its user base
will all my settings and vocal effects come through to Zenbets if I transfer it to the Zenbeats DAW??
With Zenbeats and MV-1, you can capture you mix or stems. We cover this in the video. If you have any further questions the best place to reach out to Zenbeats support is at: www.roland.com/backstage/#/zenbeats-support
@@rolandzenbeats I got that but will all my settings come with it and can I transfer a wet and dry version of my vocals, please update the Zenbeats integration to support vocals settings and editing. Look how you can transfer a recording from a DAW to Tascam and from Tascam to the DAW. It is so hard to work with the vocals in MV1 if you want to change parts of the vocals and you cant do the automation. Please update. The vocal part is what makes this box stand out from your competition so more focus on that please
How much does Zen Beats cost
It is free for a basic account and basic features and then you have the options for unlocking more in the store. The key choices are between Unlocks ($15 mobile, $50 desktop, or all platforms, all content for $150) or getting a membership (starting at $2.99/month that gets you Zenbeats all platforms, all store content).

Am I the only one who’s wondering how did you turn your MacBook screen into a touchscreen. Are you using some kind of software to allow you to touch the laptop screen on a Mac and make it seem like an iPad. Thank you so much anyone else in the group who knows what’s going on please enlighten this fool
Hi! For this overview demo we used a Microsoft Surface Pro. I guess it can be confused for a macbook. We like them both but for Zenbeats... touchscreen is pretty great!
@@rolandzenbeats Then I guess I am really the only one LOL. She is that thing really looked close. Kind of shocked. Definitely makes sense though. Thank you
В моей стране это приложение больше недоступно, так что от покупки инструмента придётся отказаться, к большому сожалению.
We want more, please. How to do proper automation on your vocals and change all other vocal settings??? More focus on the vocals please. That is how this would be so different to the competition and how you integrate with the software, please spend a lot on a MV pro with great build and more direct access to all the settings and make it very easy to do automations and others on the hardware .... it can be the best solution ever, look at Akais pro version, make something like that but much better .... I buy it and many others. Mv1 to use on the go and for travel and a more pro version for the studio. Make it a lot easier to integrate with other synths and other external units. Make it to a super hub
Waiting for the MV 2 with more vocals tracks
its just needs to have more time 12 minutes just ain't enough and who wants to bounce down vocal parts in 2021.
почему недоступно для России?
ROLAND PLEASE MAKE A MV-9000! A BIGGER BETTER MV-8800
YES!!!!!
Why just VersaLab?
Why not MC101/707?
1. Versalab has sysex implementation, MC101/707 does not.
1.1 They (MC's) will be have? May in the near future?
2. Drop out your rubbish MC's dude! Buy a new Versalab! (?!?)
Come on Roland!!!
Just honestly!!!

This is utter bull... I put my faith in this online order ZZAY KNOZZ WHOZZ ZZAY r. Stole me to get commission and then want to keep my money. Next time trusted source y'all 😁.
This is stupid.A product made for dawless use without tone or sound editor.I have to use zenology as a vst on a daw to obtain the sounds i need.
Hey 👋 just wanted to share that you don’t need anything of course like you said but you don’t have to use ZENOLOGY. Use zenbeats! It’s got a plug-and-play editor when connected to the VERSELAB. Editing tones is made super easy... no heavy duty laptop required. Just whatever device you have. Bring your own screen!
hit edit + the value know, then turn the knob to tone editing. Everything is there. It's easy and not too far in the menu.
@@nick9486 are you able to change all the settings in the zen core engine? i think thats what he was talking about, not just a few parameters that have been exposed. im talking like each waveform, envelope, filter type ect. do you need a screen for that or no?
@@pyrotek45 You can access to all the parameters available in the plugin ZC1. Not Zenology.
fast forward TANKED!..If you guy give the Mv-8800 another go.A lot people think it would take-off!
