ZENOLOGY

Software Synthesizer

Be one with your sound.

ZENOLOGY brings Roland’s acclaimed ZEN-Core Synthesis System to your DAW—the same advanced engine behind flagship instruments like FANTOM and JUPITER-X, trusted by professional artists worldwide. At its core are discrete synth voices called partials, each with an oscillator, filter, amplifier, dual LFOs, and EQ. Layer up to four partials, drawing from a vast library of PCM waveforms and authentic Roland oscillator and filter models. Then shape your sound with expressive LFOs, flexible routing, and over 90 lush effects. With this level of control, ZENOLOGY lets you craft rich, complex sounds that stand out in any mix or performance.

You can experience ZENOLOGY in a number of ways. Read on to find out more.
